I. Roll Call/Agenda
*Open Discussion:
Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: I’m the VP of Administration and Planning and Linda Davey is the Manager of Dining Services. We have floor plans of the campus center and handouts of the dining plan options. Share the floor plans. Each contact senator should have a floor plan.
I’ve been working for 5 years on the Lulu Chow Wang Campus Center. If you aren’t a senior you’ll get to enjoy the center. Today we’ll talk about how the meal plan has to change in anticipation of the building opening. We won’t be able to have the plan like it is now in Schneider. The reason is that the dining option is of higher level and greater variety. It’s not cost effective to continue with the same program. We need you to advise us with what options you’d like. We have come up with options that are financially feasible. The options we’ve presented are all okay with the College. We need your input on which one to adopt. This can change in the future, in the coming years. But we’ll decide on next year’s plan this year.
I’d like to talk about the center first. On the first floor you’ll see a multipurpose room with an attached meeting room. This is on the level of the Alumnae Hall Ballroom. The pub and Café Hoop will be relocated to the center. This is the party floor.
The college road level will have a convenience store, coffee bar, and smoothie bar. The store will have mostly food items.
The upper level will have the Bookstore and they’ll sell a variety of non-food items, in addition to the candy they sell now.
You’ll also see the dining areas. We’re expecting that you’ll feel free to take the food anywhere in the building. We do ask you to clean up after yourselves. Think of the building as your house, you can eat all over the building.
We’ve ordered a brick oven for pizzas and calzones. We won’t have a food court. The food will be made to order. It’s not prepackaged. There’s a prep kitchen in the basement. Feel free to take these plans back to the dorm so that people can get an idea of the space.
This is a level of food and gathering space that the campus has never seen in it’s history.
Linda Davey, Operations Manager of Dining Services: I’ll talk about the food options. We plan to make pizzas, calzones, and stromboli with the brick oven. The menu is an evolving and dynamic thing. We’ll have a home-style entrée section kind of like a Boston Market. Next to that we’ll have a charbroiled grill. All of the food will be made to order, burgers and grilled chicken. The building is properly ventilated. We’ll have a sauté section with a rotating menu. There will be a fresh assortment of ingredients you choose and they will be cooked for you. There will be a vegan station. We’ll also have a salad bar, soup station, and pasta station. We’ll have small grab and go section with soft serve ice cream
Downstairs we’ll have a coffee bar and a store with cereal, bottled drinks. We’re so excited about the coffee bar and the smoothie station. For the first time we’ll offer lattes and cappuccinos.
In developing the meal plan we’ve kept some things in mind. We are keeping the resident dining plan the same. You’ll have the 15 guest meals per semester.
Flex money is part of your board plan and will stay with you to 2nd semester. If you use all of your money you can purchase more. You must have your own activated ID to use your flex money. We can’t take numbers like we do in Schneider now.
The 3 options we have. The first is basic: the traditional meal plan now plus $200 flex dollars.
Option 2 is $175 flex with one swipe per day from 8-10 Monday-Thursday. A meal is an entrée, a side, a dessert and a fountain beverage. You can use the $175 whenever you choose. If you go over you pay cash or use your flex.
Option 3 is $150 flex with one swipe per day from 8pm-closing Monday-Sunday.
Last Thursday we talked to the Dining Services Advisory Board with Phil Harty. We’ve asked them to come back to us by the end of the semester with their preference.
Pat Byrne: In the dining area, one thing we have the ability to do the first year is to play with the hours. The full services, the things Linda just described, are available 11-2 and 4-8. Reduced service is from 8-closing. So the swipe would only be for reduced service.
Linda Davey: So you’d have the grill, pizza grill, and grab and go salads. Not the sauté or vegan sections
Pat Byrne: What is more important to the student body? More flex dollars or more. It doesn’t matter to us which one. We went through 12 options and these are the 3 financially feasible ones we found.
Lauren Nelson, Pomeroy: I brought the options to my constituency and I saw that students didn’t like the idea of flex dollars. A lot of people agreed that the 2nd option would be the best. I questioned a lot of people in Pom. They saw that option 2 offered the most flexibility.
Natalie Archibald, Tower: I have 2 questions. The options with the flex dollars... Is that in financial aid packages? Who operates the store?
Pat Byrne: Yes, this is included in the board which is taken into account with financial aid packages. Dining Services, Linda, will operate the store.
Andrea Swartz, Shafer: First of all, we’re talking about $150-200. Is that allotted or do we pay?
Pat Byrne: It’s included in your board plan, but you can put in your own money or pay cash if you run out of the allotted flex money.
Andrea Swartz: Do we know the average expenditure in Schneider?
Linda Davey: I don’t have the exact number right now, but the $200 is a little more than what is used in Schneider now.
Andrea Swartz: Will the food be more expensive because of better quality?
Pat Byrne: Yes. Sodexho is doing a careful survey in this area and is trying competitive prices. It will be more than Schneider, but less than the Ville.
Yang Qiu, Severance: I have 3 questions and 2 comments. First how will this policy affect the summer meal plan?
Linda Davy: The summer meal plan is separate. We’ll work on that with the summer program people.
Yang Qiu: If you have a guest and you’re buying them food can you pay with flex money?
Linda Davey: Yes
Yang Qiu: The campus center is closing earlier than Schneider?
Pat Byrne: It’s half an hour earlier. The Hoop will be open. It’s all financial. It’ll require a higher number of staff members. Over time as we monitor usage that could change.
Yang Qiu: Sometimes my evening labs don’t end until after 10. We wouldn’t be able to make it in time to get food. What about workers cleaning ahead of time? My constituents don’t like it, “It seems that there hasn’t been too much student input. I have the impression that students love the way Schneider works, why change?” “It seems like the students will eat only in dining hall and will order take out.”
Pat Byrne: At this moment it’s easy to feel like you’re losing something, but I hope that once it opens that feeling will change.
Nanki Marwah, Freeman: Thanks for coming. I just wanted to clarify, when a student puts money on her card it’s at a discounted rate?
Linda Davey: Yes. If a student deposits $100 onto her card, she’ll be able to get a little more than $100 worth of food.
Nanki Marwah: Will the convenience store create more student jobs on campus?
Pat Byrne: Yes, possibly.
Fiona Cousland, Beebe: Does the overall cost remain the same regardless of the option?
Pat Byrne: Yes.
Fiona Cousland: When will you have more specifics about the prices of the items?
Pat Byrne: In spring.
Fiona Cousland: My constituents like option 3 because they don’t like weekend dining hall food and would like to eat in the campus center on the weekends.
Motion to extend time by 10 minutes
Passed
Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholars: We took a look at this in my house council and option 3 looked favorable. Workers in the pub and at the hoop will eat there later and more frequently. Can these numbers be juggled?
Linda Davey: It’s a balance, we can’t increase both numbers.
Kathy Fairhurst-Lown: How will you monitor the one swipe per day?
Linda Davey: We’ll have that provision on the new cards and the computer system will recognize it.
Emily Oxford, CG Secretary/Treasurer: I’m concerned about only allowing the swipe during reduced hours. What about vegan students who need to eat late? Could we possibly just have one swipe a day, not necessarily during a specific time period?
Linda Davey: We do have a bagged meal program for vegans that can be requested. We could look into the one swipe per day, but it’s not as financially feasible when it would be used at times other than reduced operation.
Jun Chu, McAfee: In case people ask why the new campus center isn’t following the Schneider plan what do we say? Is the food in Schneider free? I am confused why option 3 is cheaper than option 2. I want to avoid confusion with the $150 and $175 difference.
Pat Byrne: You have fewer flex dollars with option 3.The food in Schneider is not free; it’s paid for from your meal plan. We can’t afford to have that option with restaurant-quality food. That would cause the board fee to rise astronomically.
Jamie Bernthal, CG President: Just wanted to understand the economic differences. When I first looked at these I thought they were equivalent. Are four meals equivalent to $25?
Pat Byrne: Its not that precise, it’s a projection based on how we think people will behave.
Jamie Bernthal: Because originally I thought option 3 was great with the meal and $150. Then I like option 1. Would option 3 essentially buy a student the same number of meals as option 1? I would want the option where she could get the most.
Ashley Howard, Wellesley News: If there is a new coffee shop, how will that affect Café Hoop?
Pat Byrne: We’ll coordinate balancing hours with the Hoop. After 7pm the Hoop is it. We’ll play around with the hours. We want the Hoop and the pub to be successful.
Samira Vachani, Pomeroy: For options 2 and 3 if a student doesn’t use her swipes, can that money be converted to flex money?
Linda Davey: No.
Charlene Liu, SPEC Chair: Will you be introducing Chinese or Japanese food into the menu?
Pat Byrne: Yes. The DSAB will suggest menu items.

Motion to extend time by 10 minutes
Passed
Nadine Abraham, Freeman: My constituents liked option 3 because of the ability to go on the weekends. Just to clarify, would the coffee shop come off of flex dollars?
Linda Davey: Yes.
Nadine Abraham: Athletes come back from practices and student have extracurriculars late. They wouldn’t be able to eat the full service for dinner on the plan at all.
Linda Davey: Beebe and Davis will be open until 8pm still.
Pat Davey: The meals on the card are available until 10.
Nadine Abraham: Could the guaranteed swipes rollover to additional meals?
Linda Davey: No
Roshni Kapadia, Claflin: I haven’t seen many people eat from 8-10. I think a lot of people wouldn’t be using that swipe. It’s not the busiest time in Schneider. I think people would like this more if we could use the swipe during lunch or dinner.
Pat Byrne: We can look at Schneider statistics.
Roshni Kapadia: I’d be in favor in option 1. We want to eat when we want to.
Kahini Ranade, Munger: My constituents thought that the dining would be open later.
Pat Byrne: It’s all about money. The Hoop will be open late.
Cindy Kung, Davis: If you go in for your swipe meal you can only get pizza and stuff from the grill?
Linda Davey: Yes and pre-made items like salads and sandwiches.
Cindy Kung: So you’ll have to pay for expensive stuff no matter what?
Linda Davey: Yes.
Suilin Yap, Japan Club: Could I just get a drink at 8:30 and then another drink at 9:30 on the same swipe since it’s less than the cost of a meal, but it’s not a meal.
Pat Byrne: That’s a great idea, it’ll depend on the software.
Suilin Yap: Could we have an amount rather than a meal equivalency?
Pat Byrne: That’s a good idea.
Linda Davey: We’ll look into that as well.
Hannah Ellenson, Hillel: Would it be possible to split up the meal over the day?
Pat Byrne: I think the way to go would be with the dollar amount equivalency.
Melanie Carter, Ethos: Where did the push for quality come from? We like the ability to swipe unlimitedly in Schneider.
Pat Byrne: One thing that was central to the building was the attraction to faculty, staff, and community members. We want a place for the entire campus community. We’re trying to build a community center and we’re using food to do it.
Rebecca Gold, Tower: Can you use flex dollars in the store?
Pat Byrne: Yes.
Jennie Lee, Stone: Why can’t the one meal per day just be for the entire day? It’d be more convenient and you’d avoid the flood between 8-10. It’d also discourage students from going during lunch.
Pat Byrne: It’s all about money. We’re trying to stretch our resources.
Elizabeth Liu, Davis: Stone-Davis residents like option 3 because our dining hall is closed on the weekend.
Jeanne Amy, Freeman: Could you have 7 meals a week, rather than just 1 a day?
Pat Byrne and Linda Davey: We’ll look at that. Thanks.
Clara Peterson, Bates: For the adding of flex dollars it seems like that will take a while. How will you do that?
Linda Davey: You’ll come down to the housing office and we’ll put money on there. You can also pay cash.
Clara Peterson: Could you change hours from 8:30-10:30?
Pat Byrne: Probably not, but we’ll see once the building opens.
Lauren Nelson, Pomeroy: Will we be voting on this as students?
Pat Byrne: My preference that you take a vote in a place where a conversation has taken place. I don’t want to send a survey out. I only want people to vote after they’ve engaged in the conversation so they understand the plans.
Nanki Marwah, Freeman: The Freeman senators are organize Dining Hall talks in each hall as our project.
Meri Smith, Parliamentarian: Senators take a straw poll in House Council.
Pat Byrne: That’s fine, but explain this fully.
Andrea Swartz: The reason why we can swipe from 8-10 is the reduced service. Could we swipe from 2-4 too since it’s also reduced?
Linda Davey: We can look into that.
Andrea Swartz: Would this create a problem between students who have money to spend at the center and students who don’t? How can we support all of the students with financial issues? I understand the ideology that the center is centered around, but can we consider the economic equality issue? I think students may be deterred from going there due to finances.
Pat Byrne: I understand you. To build what we’ve built with Schneider food would defeat our purpose. We’ll have to see how it works. That’s why we have accounted for these options under the board plan.
Motion to extend time for Andrea
Passed
Andrea Swartz: Will the food be priced differently?
Pat Byrne: There will be a variety of prices.
Andrea Swartz: Is it possible for students to determine what plan they want after they know food prices?
Pat Byrne: The problem that you’re addressing is going into an unknown. We need a plan now so we can set the board rate. We can continue to have this conversation and it may change after the first year. We do need to set this in motion.
Andrea Swartz: I respectfully disagree. In the time between you know food prices in the spring could we have more time and more information. We need to get good feedback over the year before we decide on a plan. I feel like we should know the prices of food before a decision is made.
Pat Byrne: We’ve delayed the time. This is not arbitrary. We’d like to give you as much time as possible and want the best conversation.
Jamie Bernthal: To close there have been times that senators have mentioned things that you’ve promised to consider.
Pat Byrne: We really are going to look into these suggestions. In the end we’ll pick something that looks like an overall consensus.
Jamie Bernthal: I’m concerned about redundant issues. Senators consult with HPs and DSAB food reps. Please work with them to pub the meeting when Pat Byrne and Linda will come to your dorm complex so that we get great feedback. Special interest senators, have this conversation with your constituency. Contact Emily Oxford for information. Take poll numbers from everybody so that we get which options students prefer.
Emily Oxford: Won’t the three options change once you consider all the feedback you’ve gotten tonight?
Pat Byrne: Possibly, but get feedback on these three options for now.
Jamie Bernthal: I encourage you to talk to your HP to get time on the House Council agenda.
Suilin Yap: As a special interest senator would it be repetitive to bring this up in organization meetings?
Jamie Bernthal: I would like you do to this because there isn’t complete overlap between house councils and special interest organizations. If it was a complete overlap we wouldn’t have special interest senators at all.
Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: I’m the VP of Administration and Planning and Linda Davey is the Manager of Dining Services. We have floor plans of the campus center and handouts of the dining plan options. Share the floor plans. Each contact senator should have a floor plan.

Pat Byrne: We really are going to look into these suggestions. In the end we’ll pick something that looks like an overall consensus.
Jamie Bernthal: I’m concerned about redundant issues. Senators consult with HPs and DSAB food reps. Please work with them to pub the meeting when Pat Byrne and Linda will come to your dorm complex so that we get great feedback. Special interest senators, have this conversation with your constituency. Contact Emily Oxford for information. Take poll numbers from everybody so that we get which options students prefer.
Emily Oxford: Won’t the three options change once you consider all the feedback you’ve gotten tonight?
Pat Byrne: Possibly, but get feedback on these three options for now.
Jamie Bernthal: I encourage you to talk to your HP to get time on the House Council agenda.
Suilin Yap: As a special interest senator would it be repetitive to bring this up in organization meetings?
Jamie Bernthal: I would like you do to this because there isn’t complete overlap between house councils and special interest organizations. If it was a complete overlap we wouldn’t have special interest senators at all.
II. Old Business
Lindsey Boylan, Student Bursar: Last week there was confusion about if you were going to vote on Uniquely Compelling allocations or not. Since some senators did and some didn’t, we’ll go through a different procedure this week because orgs need to purchase things now and we need to get this approved ASAP.
Meri Smith, Parliamentarian: Take this back to your constituency. Take the vote as normal. On Tuesday night by midnight your contact senator will email the votes to the “Senate Votes” conference. Emily and I will send you information about this tonight. In the subject line write: Pomeroy- 2 for, 1 against, for example.
Lindsey Boylan, Student Bursar: Presidents and Treasurers are working with SOFC to evaluate the UC process. We met with MIT’s Finboard last week, which is their version of SOFC. We learned a lot from them. Sophia will help me present this information. She attended the meeting with me.
Sophia Mokotoff, SOFC Senator: We attended their treasurer’s information session. We thought that they had several interesting things. “Weekends at MIT” is a program they fund that should affect the entire campus. They focus funds to events that affect the entire campus and improve their social scene. Their Finboard doesn’t actually cut checks, what they vote on is sent to an office that does the paperwork.
Lindsey Boylan, Student Bursar: It was really interesting and we’ll be looking at other schools throughout the year. The Weekends at MIT was interesting because it helped their social life.

III. New Business
Alex Kim, Vice President: I brought to senate last week the student orgs, so this week vote on the organizations. Print out the list and read out every single organization to your house council without acronyms. E-mail me at alexkimcgvp with questions. Vote en bloc but discuss each organization that students want more information about.
Alex Kim, Vice President: Now I bring to you the fall SOAC-appointed student representatives. Vote on these tomorrow in house councils and with your constituencies as well.

After the Seven Sisters retreat, we found that we have the most control over appointed reps and organizations. We have 7 representative committees to the Board of Trustees and they have 1.
We have 2 openings on Student Council to the Board of Trustees-Student Life. Applications for SCBT-Student Life will be due by Sunday, 11/14 at midnight to Fall Applications. Interviews will be next week.
Jamie Bernthal: I am on the SCBT-Student Life committee so e-mail me about the committee. I find this position is rewarding but is really time intensive. It’s great it you’re up to the challenge.
Alex Kim, Vice President: Sandya Das and Sarah Kelly are students currently on the committee if you’d like to contact them.
Sarah Beaudette, Davis: Are those positions only for sophomores, juniors, and seniors?
Alex Kim, Vice President: Yes, but first years can apply for positions in the spring.
Clara Peterson, Bates: How can we input for the DSAB?
Alex Kim, Vice President: Contact Phil Harty or the student reps. You’ll get the list attached to the minutes.
Any student has the right to appeal, complain about a student rep. It has to be written to me.
Roshni Kapadia: Are these SOAC votes online?
Alex Kim: No.
Roshni Kapadia: If a house council opposed one organization how do you vote?
Lindsey Boylan: Vote en bloc.
Alex Kim: Student reps are different. Contact me with a written complaint about student representatives.
Emily Oxford: How does a house council vote against one organization and all of the others if we’re voting en bloc?
Meri Smith, Parliamentarian: If there are no objections you can vote on everything en bloc. We’ll post clarification. If there is an objection to a particular organization, vote on it separately.
Alex Kim: Apply for SCBT-Student Life!

IV. Open Discussion
Jamie Bernthal, CG President: This weekend we hosted a conference for the remaining all women’s Seven Sister colleges: Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, and Wellesley. It was put together by the College Government President’s Council. Meri was on the CGPC core. I co-chaired this with Ellen Keris if you’re interested. Direct questions to her.
This was an extremely successful conference and the first one of its kind. We covered the structure of each college’s student government. This took up Saturday. Then we split into groups to discuss similar roles such as Honor Codes, student organizations, funding, etc.
We laid the ground work for communication and reworking our policies here as well.
We solidified this meeting for the future. We set a rotating system for every school to hold a conference. We have decided who will host forever based on an alphabetical rotating system. We’ll also hold a President Caucus in the spring with outgoing and incoming presidents to ease turnover. In Spring 2005 Barnard will hold the presidential conference. This will solidify turnover. We want this tradition to last.
On Saturday we had introductory information, on Sunday we delved into service project ideas and talked about working together. I’ll talk more about the service project idea next week.
Barnard presented information that congress is looking at concerning tuition and student loans in this country. Lindsey Boylan will be working on this.
The basic things that came out of this are the connections. We talked a lot about campus centers and found that we had similar issues. We can communicate about how similar problems were solved.
From a cabinet standpoint it was nice to have the connection to people in similar positions.
We’d like conferences in the future to focus more on leadership development and, if financially feasible, to open it up to other students.
It’s amazing that all the schools were present and we’ve made big decisions for the future.
Meri Smith: It was cool that each school had an equivalent of our Davis Scholar program.
Jamie Bernthal: It was awesome. Email Ellen Keris with questions.
Lindsey Boylan, Student Bursar: The other students were really excited about what we do have with the library and the new campus center.
Emily Oxford: They really liked our Academic Council Room and thought it was cool that we have a room like this for Senate.
Jamie Bernthal: We want to support each other, other women in similar positions.

Nanki Marwah, Freeman & SPEC Senator
Nanki Marwah: I’m the contact senator for Freeman. I’m here on behalf of the Town/Gown Relations ad hoc that was started last year by last year’s CG President, Kristina Chan. We wanted to improve Wellesley College’s relationship with the town of Wellesley. It was a main conversation last year.
An ad hoc is a committee formed by members of senate to address a certain issue.
Our main focus was internships. We met with Barry Monahan, VP of Administration. There are so many businesses in Wellesley. There are many opportunities, law firms, chains, etc. We wanted to provide internships for students.
We can’t offer stipends. Businesses would either have to be willing to pay or the position would be unpaid.
We didn’t feel that we had a negative relationship with the town, but saw room for improvement. We wanted internships to be more convenient than most internships in Boston.
Kristina Chan left the committee to me and now we need more senators to sit on the committee. We’re kind of at a stand-still now. Barry last year provided us with a list of businesses in the Ville. We’ve worked with Amy Capman and Erin Herzeelle in the CWS and we need to re-contact them this year to continue working with them. We need to approach this professionally.
I brought this to Senate today to see if there’s interest in sustaining this ad hoc. We’ve discussed making this a SOAC appointed committee.
Do we feel like we should still do this at all? I just want to have a conversation with you to see how the new Senate feels.
Jamie Bernthal: Is this something that you want a discussion about now and then come back with more concrete feedback later?
Nanki Marwah: Yes.
Roshni Kapadia: I think this is valuable. I’m glad you’re pursuing this. Is this something that senators could use as their project?
Jamie Bernthal: Yes
Natalie Archibald: I was under the impression that last year we wanted to solidify this and move it from an ad hoc because ad hoc committees are temporary.
Nanki Marwah: Yes, you’re right. Once we have established our internships they would then become part of the CWS and the committee would dissolve and detach from Senate. We need to find out how Barry and the CWS need students. It was projected that we would have internships this semester. We’ve rescheduled that to spring. However, due to planning and lack of people it probably won’t fulfill that deadline. We need to see the level of support before we determine whether or not it will work. It was created from a concern of CG last year. That’s why we need senators to sit on the committee. We had support of last year’s CG.
Meri Smith, Parliamentarian: How many senators does an ad hoc require?
Charlene Liu, SPEC Chair: One.
Clara Peterson, Bates: If we joined the ad hoc would that be in addition to the committee we are on now?
Nanki Marwah: Yes.
Charlene Liu: Are you looking for someone to lead the committee?
Nanki Marwah: Yes, we are looking for more administrative support, but I’ll co-chair no matter what. Is there enough student support for me to continue?
Charlene Liu: SPEC is in charge of ad hocs and they must have support of senators and students at large.
Meri Smith: Any student could sit on the committee but it must be chaired by a senator.
Andrea Swartz: I work for the CWS and it is normal for students to have independent projects. Could this possibly be used as a job in the CWS? Or just under the guided leadership of the CWS.
Nanki Marwah: I’ll contact Amy and Erin.
Jamie Bernthal: I think that it’d be wise for Charlene to talk to us afterwards to get more info about ad hocs. Thanks for presenting this.

V. Dean’s Corner
Michelle Lepore, Associate Dean of Students: Dean Kim is off at a conference with Dean White, the first year dean, talking to deans from 30 different schools. I’m sure she’ll tell you about it next week when I’ll be at a conference.
My conference is taking students and Meri Smith and Helin Jung are going. Hopefully they’ll be interested in working in student life on day.
Dean Kim and Kim Chin felt a need to intervene with last week’s online discussion. There was a shift in tone in discussion after the elections. They wrote a memo to address the issue.
HPC and Cabinet discussed this during UNITY today.
Tomorrow at Tanner at 1:30 there is a roundtable about democracy: It’s more than just voting. We’ll be talking about the skills that people need for participatory democracy. Please come out we are looking forward to a good discussion.
The Managing Stress/Enhancing Learning committee is looking to appoint students to subcommittees.
There are 4 subcomittees:
The commitment would be 1-2 meetings this semester and then 1-1.5 hours every other week in the spring.
The deadline for sophomore survey completion is November 16. The Office of Institutional Research will publish results online in December.
An event related to stress reduction: Cultivating Inner Peace and Community Through Song. Tuesday, November 16, 7:00 - 8:30 in the College Club, Wall Room. RSVP to Michelle Lepore, Associate Dean of Students. This will be led by Nancy Fischer. Nancy has traveled extensively with her world music ensembles. Her passion for promoting inter-cultural understanding through the arts lead her to create Canada’s Sacred World Music Festival in 1999, which she directed for five years. Her special interests have been music, theatre and mindfulness studies. Nancy has presented seminars for parents and educators on mindfulness for the past five years and in 2002 co-authored Mind Power for Children with bestselling author, John Kehoe. Presently, Nancy is the executive director of Goldie Hawn’s Bright Light Foundation, a US based charity dedicated to enhancing the lives of children around the world, through educational programs and research.
Ariella Huff, Claflin: Any word on the ellipticals?
Michelle Lepore: The order did go in with the additional machines from Uniquely Compelling
André Isaac: As a member of the Mellon Residential Life Committee, I’ve looked into on campus online communication. I’d like to reassert everything said in the memo. What happened last week is an example of when students take things offline into the real world. It’s an example of how posts can have memories and can have fairly nasty repercussions. It’s good to back that up and this is a concrete example. Senators can reinforce this point.
Michelle Lepore: Would it be helpful that we have Kim’s message posted to the Senate Conference?
Yes.
Michelle Lepore: The SCBT-Student Life committee is a fantastic committee, so apply to that.
Go to Lip Sync tonight at 9!
