The Student Government Association (SGA) met on April 19 for the final time this semester. The elections were run two weeks prior so the meeting had both incumbent and new members in attendance.
The SGA election on April 5 and 6 was the second time they used online voting. Voter turnout rose from 125 to 113 since the last election. “A small increase, but an increase nonetheless” said Greg Clement, Advisor to the SGA. The ballot question, Do you approve the removal of the following sentence from the SGA By-laws in Article 5; Section 6: All officer candidates must have a minimum of two months experience as a seated SGA member, was approved by an 87 Yes to a 28 No vote.
During the meeting, it was discussed that The Raffle for the Memorial Park fundraiser raised roughly $500; the bake sale that was held on the 11th of April with ALANA, with proceeds going to help Japan, raised roughly $157; The Constitution Committee will be holding a separate meeting to discuss the possibility of adding another club at MWCC; and the SGA will be at orientation acting as orientations advisors on August 31 and September 1.
