Our goals include (but are not limited to) increasing wireless access on campus, following through on the SRI process (socially responsible funding), starting a dialogue about grade inflation, improving the freshmen advising process, looking at how science students receive credit, reviewing and getting department status for EA and Neuroscience, promoting green initiatives and the campus climate challange, having more CDO (Career Development Office) open houses, mixing up Jr/Sr Social, increasing funding for the senior financial seminar, creating visibility for campus groups and the diversity committee, working with the volunteer center, first year volunteer opportunities, decreasing costs for birth control, increasing hours at the health center and diversifying the political discourse on campus. 

 We are still without four senators who will be elected by the student body later in September. The positions still available are Freshman Class President, Sophomore Class President, North Campus Rep and South Campus Rep.  If you are interested in these positions (and you should be, thely are great!) then keep an eye out in the digester for election sign ups and feel free to contact me (elspeth.hilton@pomona.edu) if you have any questions!

 Keep an eye on this blog, it is sure to be full of updates on campus initiatives, goals and events on campus!
