School seems to be on full speed these weeks, and the Senators seem to be seeing a slow week as well, as seen here in their latest biweekly report! You can also find our previous biweekly reports here, or in the Senators’ blog.

A few highlights:

  • The McGill Non-Smoking Policy is ready to be presented to the highest admins, before it is brought to the McGill Senate. The plan is to implement it by September 2017.
  • Discussed the implications of the report from Scholarship and Student Aid Office (SSAO) that there is a huge surge in bursary applications this year, especially from international students.
  • Most of the new Student Senators for 2017-2018 has been elected!

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.
