Can’t believe we’re just now hitting February! The Senators have been busy at work and here is their second biweekly report of the term! You can also find our previous biweekly reports here.

A few highlights:

  • Dean of Students Christopher Buddle came over to Senate Caucus and discussed many things. Some highlights include the definition of the “McGill Context” as it applies to the Code of Student Conduct at off-campus events, as well as mental health training for faculty members.
  • Laura Winer, the Director of Teaching and Learning Services, also came by for a chat. Among other things, we discussed course evaluations and solutions to noise disturbances in Leacock due to the construction.
  • The Wellness Hub Student Stakeholder Group is now looking for student representatives. Apply here.

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.
