SGA Meeting Notes | The Wright State Guardian
On Tuesday, Jan. 26, the Student Government Association (SGA) met via WebEx to discuss two resolutions and provide updates on previous activities.
Resolution 21-04: Enhancing Accessibility
Commuter Senator Sabrina D’Alesandro and Residential Senator Jonathan Ciero proposed this resolution to assist pregnant mothers and parents of young children by providing additional parking adjacent to existing accessible spots. With this, Wright State University (WSU) will continue to embody their mission of inclusivity and accessibility to all students, staff, and faculty.
“Local stores and other universities provide additional parking spots for expecting mothers and families with small children,” said D’Alesandro.
This resolution was moved to old business and will be discussed in future meetings.
Resolution 21-05: Embracing Diversity
Student Body President Darnell K. Adrian Williams and University College Senator Jeffrey Shehee sponsored this resolution to create a plot dedicated to the National Pan Hellenic Council (NPHC), also known as the “Divine Nine” (D9).
The NPHC is an organization consisting of numerous historically African-American Greek fraternities and sororities. By erecting a plot to honor the NPHC, WSU will honor current students and alumni who found a sense of community within the D9. Additionally, this plot will represent diversity and inclusion by providing a gathering location for future student events and memorials so that students are able to come together in unity.
“This is something that NPHC has really tried to have on our campus for a very long time and there are other predominantly white campuses that are on the verge of doing this and we have the opportunity to possibly be the first predominantly white state institution in Ohio to have NPHC plots represented on their campus,” said WSU Greek Advisor Gina Keucher.
The resolution was passed unanimously.
SGA meetings are held every Tuesday at 7pm via WebEx; all students are welcome to attend.
