Executive Board Reports
Maggie Newhouse, President
- We have decided to work with other student government organizations and join a Minnesota Climate Coalition. We will be looking to lobby the state legislature to a) pass a law requiring colleges that receive state funding to be carbon neutral by 2040. We think this is a great way for us to get involved outside of this university and help make a greater impact. Please let me know if you would like to learn more about how you can help.
- More shirts have been ordered, they should be in in a few weeks. If you did not get a Student Senate t-shirt yet, please email me ASAP.
- I am still missing headshots from a handful of you. Please get those to me ASAP
