A word from SGA: Dec. 4, 2013

(Week of November 11, 2013)

Hello Students!

The Student Government Association (SGA) would like to share some updates from this week!

In our SGA meeting on Thursday we had an interesting discussion led by Dr. Jean Joyce-Brady from counseling services. She discussed the merging of our counseling, and health and wellness departments. Tom Lynch, the Chief Information Officer from the IT Department also spoke to us about the technical aspect of the University, and asked whether Suffolk students are Mac or Windows fans.

This past Wednesday, the Diversity Committee hosted a dinner in the M. Conference room located in the Donahue building. The dinner enabled students to interact and meet the Diversity Committee of SGA. Students who attended introduced themselves to attendees as well as mingled with one another. The committee chair, Isatta Coomber explained the function and the overview of the committee. It was an awesome event.  

On Nov. 14 at 2:30 p.m., the Groundbreaking ceremony of the new academic building at 20 Somerset Street took place. University officials, staff, as well as students attended the ceremony, as we embark on this new chapter together. President McCarthy and Mayor Thomas Menino were present at the ceremony, and gave pleasing remarks regarding the new building. The building will be an excellent addition, as it will pave the way for the University’s innovative approach to teaching and learning. At the end of the ceremony, Mayor Menino posed for pictures with members of SGA, and spoke with officials and staff. This day marks a memorable and exciting day for our University. We are so excited for the completion of the building in Fall 2015.

Our weekly meetings are every Thursday in Donahue 311. As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

 

Have a great week,

Student Government Association
