SGA is hard at work drafting legislation, planning events, and meeting with students and administrators throughout October. Here’s a quick update on some of SGA’s upcoming initiatives and events:
See You There
Update: The second annual SGA Homecoming Bonfire has been rescheduled for Friday, October 24. More details to be announced.
CheekSpeak is coming back this semester. On Tuesday, October 21, Chancellor Cheek will speak and answer student questions at 6:00 p.m. in Haslam Business Building Room 501.
Government Affairs’ College Debate will let student organizations debate local, national, and international politics on Wednesday, October 29. This event is set for 7:00 p.m. at the Howard H. Baker Center for Public Policy.
Reminders
Our senate is hard at work drafting legislation. During Tuesday’s meeting, Bill to Mandate First Year Orientation passed with 64 percent of the vote and will be passed on to administrators. We have more legislation on the agenda for next week’s meeting. Don’t forget you can follow our meetings at @UTKSGA.
If you have something to share with the SGA Senate, stop by during the open forum time at the beginning of each meeting. SGA meetings are held at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays in the UC Shiloh Room.
