President's Corner

 
    So this is it.  I'm finally done (please don't get too excited!).  I wanted to take a minute to recap what SGA  did this past year.  We passed recommendations, and had them approved by the administration!, on the following  issues:
    - establishment of a commuter lounge (now with a computer and internet access!)
    - a service to be held on Sept. 11th of 2004
    - Wednesday night visitation hours during the summer (summer residents ... this goes     into effect for you this summer!!)
    - additions to the APT Living changes by the Administration
    - coin machines on-campus (four machines will be placed on-campus within the     2004-2005 school year)
- extending library hours (a trial period for this will occur at the beginning of the Fall 2004 semester)
- improving the weight room

    We wrote recommendations, that are pending before the administration, on the following issues: 
- the grading scale (while the full recommendation failed, faculty is now discussing changing some curriculum in the
core requirements to make the classes more equivalent for grading)
- changing the return date from Tuesday to Monday (look for this issue to re-emerge next year!)
- visitation hours on holidays and days classes are cancelled (the Resident Life Staff and Administration are still in
dialogue over this issue)

    With all of these things, we also had another successful year of open forums, class projects, Mr. Eastern, and the Film & Pizza Fest ... God was faithful - as always.  For Student Government's end of the year gift to the students, we will be donating money to improving the weight room. Look for new equipment in the Fall of 2004!

   On a personal note, I loved working with SGA.  While I was extremely busy, it was a blessing to serve as your Student Body President.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so.  I know you all have papers to write and finals to study for, so I won't make this long.  To sum it up short and sweet .. thanks, it's been awesome.  

Faithfully,

 Lindsey M. Eib
