During the November 5th, Student Government Association Senate meeting in the Multipurpose room in T. H. Harris Hall Annex at six, a representative from the Special Events committee discussed plans for the Veteran’s Day celebration.
There wasn’t any public input at this Senate meeting.
Senator Erin Prestige discussed what the Special Events Committee was planning.
“We are hoping for Veterans to come out, presentation of the colors, we are having a moment of silence and sing the Star Spangled Banner, possibly a word from the Chancellor and a presentation of gifts,” Prestige said.
Volunteers are welcomed and are asked to meet up Monday morning at 10 a. m. in the Cotillion Ballroom of the Smith-Brown Memorial Student Union. The event is from 10:30 a. m. to 2 p.m. It will start in the courtyard outside the Smith-Brown Memorial Student Union then move to the Cotillion ballroom.
Senator Kakayla Golden discussed a report of the Recycling and Sustainability committee as well as a recent trip to Atlanta she went on.
“I went to Atlanta to participate in a program. I met with students from other Historical Black Colleges and Universities and learned different things that can help our university,” Golden said.
Golden discussed how other schools such as Howard had recycling and littering committees. She said that some of the students of Howard University would help the Senate start their recycling program from the ground up and that there were people who would be interested in donating to help the Senate in this cause.
The Senate is participating in the Organization Student Affairs Thanksgiving basket drive, which each class representative in the Senate will donate Thanksgiving food.
Unfortunately the Senate meeting was only 15 minutes long and there was a very small turn out at this Senate meeting.
