Summary on SGA

Senate Coordinator Elected

With the vacancy of Senate Coordinator left by Legislative Vice President (LVP) junior Brock McMorran, the student senate board voted junior Seth Walsh, a three-year member of the Student Government Association (SGA), to the position. "I'm honored to have this responsibility entrusted to me by Senate," Walsh said.

To See Great Wonders Week

A current senate project is occurring on campus this week. Senior Nick Albin, a non-voting senator, has brought the "To See Great Wonders Week" to campus. Running from this Monday to Friday, the mission of the week is "to renew the mission and identity of Xavier University by dedicating a week during the academic year to educating the community on its heritage, history and tradition," as is written in the description at xavier.edu/sga.

Bike XU

Another senate project, Bike XU, which is a joint effort by junior Senator Kristin Sanfilippo and the Sustainability Committee to bring bike rentals to Xavier, has been delayed because of a few unexpected details. However, the executives have reserved $3,000 to give to the project once it begins in order to cover any additional monetary issues. Bike XU hopes to roll onto campus in the next few weeks.

Elections and Appointments

With four vacancies on the Senate reserved for first-years, freshmen will be rushing into SGA soon. Senate elections for freshmen will be from 8 a.m. Sept. 28 to 4 p.m. Sept. 29 on the Xavier Portal. In addition to new senators, SGA will see new Student Activities Council (SAC) members as applications are due this Friday. SAC interviews will be held the following week.
