Dear Suffolk Students,

Last Thursday, the Student Government Association unanimously passed a resolution supporting the temporary suspension of on-campus blood drives. The resolution came after a Suffolk student, Wyatt Costello, brought his concerns before the board. Under current Food and Drug Administration regulation, men who have had sex with other men are not allowed to donate blood. This resolution signified that the board found this policy to violate the university’s non-discrimination statement.

With Homecoming just around the corner, SGA encourages you to attend as many events as you can. Particularly, the Program Council Movie Night in the Common that SGA is cosponsoring. This will take place on Wednesday Oct. 22, at 6:30 p.m.

SGA is also working on finalizing the details for the Homecoming Flag Football game next weekend. The game will be evens against odds, so freshmen and juniors will compete against sophomores and seniors.

Finally, SGA is hard at work working to book an act for the Spring Concert. Last week, SGA announced that due to a lack of available performers, the annual fall concert would be postponed until spring. As soon as an act is finalized, information will be available.

Have a great week!
