          \n
        1. a. <\/em>Late Night Breakfast-April 27, 10pm: <\/em>SGA <\/em>helps serve the food at this event so be aware that this is coming up.<\/li>\n
        2. b. <\/em>SGA door: <\/em>The door is sometimes left open, which is something to be aware of.\u00a0 The latch doesn\u2019t always catch so just check to make sure it\u2019s latched closed before you leave!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        3. V. <\/em>Committee Reports<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          a. Cross-Cultural Committee: <\/em>Will shared that they shared updates from the current trips, all of which are doing very well.\u00a0 Nels also shared that they discussed a re-entry program for the cross-culturals; the proposal is to provide an optional re-entry program (1 credit) that would help you apply the knowledge you gained to your life back in the US.\u00a0 It would also be a time that could help you re-adjust to life in the States again.\u00a0 This could potentially be something all the cross-culturals do together or it could be different for each trip.\u00a0 Nels asked for discussion from the senate as to whether we thought this was a good idea.\u00a0 Many felt that it had potential but concerns were cost and time.\u00a0 One suggestion was to incorporate it into senior seminar somehow.<\/p>\n

          b.<\/em> Writing Committee: <\/em>Hannah W. shared that the committee discussed writing standards for undergraduate level. \u00a0They tried to condense the standards to make it more reader-friendly.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. VI. <\/em>Old Business<\/em>\n
              \n
            1. a. <\/em>Faculty Forum: <\/em>Hannah W. shared that they got a confirmation from Mark Sawin and they have the description written down and Common Grounds reserved on April 18 at 8:00 pm. \u00a0She inquired whether or not the committee had funding for snacks; funding is in place for coffee and snacks!\u00a0 This is going to be a great event!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
            2. VII. <\/em>New Business<\/em>\n
                \n
              1. a. <\/em>Constitutional amendments: <\/em>Ben brought proposed additions to the SGA Constitution to the senate. \u00a0Proposed additions included an additional Exec member (Vice President for Marketing) and a description of the duties that the position would have.\u00a0 In addition, a proposed point in Article III, Section 2, B incorporated the carrying out of SGA\u2019s strategic plan and future revisions necessary for that plan.\u00a0 Other than a few grammatical changes, there were no major issues with either proposal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Motion 06042011-2 to approve the proposed amendments with said grammatical changes: Janelle<\/strong><\/p>\n

                1. VIII. <\/em>Open Floor<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  -Michael shared that a student brought up an idea to have a ticking TV showing announcements from student organizations rather than just putting little slips of paper in campus mail.\u00a0 Some senators thought that wasn\u2019t very economically friendly; others thought perhaps we could have a whiteboard, e-mail, etc. to get the same idea.\u00a0 Future Exec members were encouraged to look at this and keep this as an idea for the fall retreat.<\/p>\n

                  -Will told senators to talk to leaders of PPHS and Celebration to bring in their folders to get funding!\u00a0 Bug them! They need this to get funding!<\/p>\n

                  -We discussed SGA folders and bringing them in to meetings.\u00a0 Also, remember to take your things with you at the end of meeting—a lot of things are getting left behind!<\/p>\n
