Add-drop is over, and as we students get more serious, so do the Senators! Here is the biweekly report of the SSMU Senate Caucus for September 26-October 10. You can also find our previous biweekly reports here.

A few highlights:

  • The Senators discussed in length the draft Policy Against Sexual Violence that was recently circulated. Some Senators also worked with their Faculty Associations to gather faculty-specific feedback.
  • One of the Senators, Casarina, have started doing research under the McGill Library regarding students’ experience with textbooks and open-access educational resources. Fill out her survey here.
  • The North Wing of the Stewart Biology Building is planned to undergo renovations starting the Winter 2018 term.

Minutes of each Senate Caucus meeting is available upon request via email.

If you’re interested in attending a Senate Caucus meeting to learn more about what the Senators do, feel free to email me (the UA Secretary) to get more information. Senate Caucus meetings are held every Monday at 6:30 PM in the SSMU Office.

Hi everyone! I’m in charge of the administrative side of things for the UA portfolio, and I’ve been loving this job for the past year and a half. I moved from Jakarta, Indonesia, 3 years ago, and am now going into my last year in Sociology and International Development Studies. I spend a lot of time in the SSMU Building, as I’m also involved with the Peer Support Centre (PSC), which is a super great drop-in listening service on the fourth floor (check us out!). I have a slight obsession with classical music, geography, languages, Wikipedia, and Reddit.
