Last week, the Student Government Association held their weekly meeting on October 19.<\/span><\/p>\n

The meeting began with Edie McCracken attending the meeting as a guest speaker. During her address to the SGA, she spoke about the upcoming Presidential Speaker Series. For this series, Daymond John, a former star of the television show Shark Tank will speak on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to McCracken, the event is free but students must pick up a ticket if they wish to attend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the guest speaker, the executive reports were given which recapped events of the previous week. This included discussion about Open Educational Resources (OERs).<\/span><\/p>\n

OERs are resources, such as textbooks, that are available for free or at a much-reduced cost to students and educators. Several senators had the chance to learn more about them in the previous week and were interested in pursuing OERs further.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later in the meeting, three new senators were sworn in. This included Haley Reiter, Ryan Stanley, and Jackie Tarango; all three are representing the FHSU Freshman.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the meeting, the SGA voted on three bills. The first, which concerned the EOF Committee, passed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second two were to vote on Robin Ritsema becoming a senator at large and for Michelle McPherson to fill an empty senatorial seat. Both Ritsema and McPherson were present for the vote and both bills passed unanimously.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following these votes as well as an announcement about a wheelchair basketball tournament that is in the works, the meeting concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next Student Government Association meeting will be at 7 p.m. on October 25.<\/span><\/p>\n
