Below is a summary of the highlights of the latest Student Union e-mail, along with my commentary underneath each point.
I am in Chicago and so could not go to the State of the Union. Did anyone attend? Thoughts/reactions?
Attached to this post is "most of what was said at the State of the Union," e-mailed by the Student Union. I like the town hall forum initiative. Rosen covered a lot of issues and changes Brandeis has been making, and for the most part they sound like steps in a positive, more student-friendly and involved path.
- The Usdan C-Store (P.O.D.) will be open from Midnight – 2am on Saturdays for all of next Semester! Thank you to everyone for supporting the Senate's Ad-Hoc Dining Committee, Senator Ricky Rosen and the Student Union in this initiative. Make good use of those hours!
- ?YES! Responding to students' needs! Now if only we could negotiate with Aramark…
- In response to PULSE Feedback, we've been trying to secure more study space for the student body. In the future, we are trying to get the Mandel Center & Science Complex, but we need to see how this new option goes. Please understand that you need to keep your study space clean and neat. If this first extension of study spaces goes well, then we will be able to get the nicer areas like the Science Center!
- ?GREAT! Listening to feedback! Yay!
- Student Union, Student Events, Student Activities and WBRS are proud to bring you… MAKING WAVES! – The Brandeis Pool Party! Saturday, January 21. Keep your eyes open for more information, but get your swim-suits ready!
- ?Does this mean the pool will be opening Jan. 21st?????!
- Attached is most of what was said at the State of the Union. Please feel free to read it over, and let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc.
- Highlight: From now on, Rosen hopes S.o.t.U.'s will be Town Hall Forum-style
