Student Senate addressed mostly internal issues in its meeting Thursday, Oct. 25. As always, the meeting started off with student comments and announcements, but there were very few this time. The meeting then moved to administrative reports, starting with Vice President for Student Life Dr. Celestino Limas.

Limas provided an update on the presidential search and explained how the next phase will occur. The final candidates will meet with a small confidential group made of various people involved with the College.

In order to maintain privacy, no one on campus will be told when the meeting will be held.

Campus Security Assistant Director Dale Boyer was next to give his report, giving an update to issues brought up in past meetings. Boyer reported that handicap parking spaces have recently received a new coat of paint and those without signs should be receiving them soon.

After no report from the Office of Student Wellness, senators moved to Executive Cabinet Reports, where they were reminded of upcoming internal events.

The discussion of old business focused on concrete ideas.

Concrete ideas are projects that senators take on to impact the College in a positive way. Senators created ad hoc committees in order to do further research on the possibility of their ideas.

After this, senators moved on to new business. Their first discussion included reviewing and voting on eight amendments to their constitution. After all amendments were voted on, the meeting moved to a session of constitutional review where senators learned more about their constitution.

This meeting’s session regarded proposing amendments, since senators talked about amendments earlier in the meeting.

The few committee and class updates were then provided. Senators then moved into executive session, where the meeting closed off to all non-members.
