The Student Government Scholarship Committee met and finalized the three students who
were awarded a SG scholarship. The three individuals will receive a scholarship of the total amount
of $1,000. The committee also discussed various items, such as how to fundraise for the scholarship
and keep the momentum going. The Scholarship Benefit, being planned by the Associate Director
for Governmental Affairs Robert Yada, will be a focal event for the scholarship, but the committee
wants to continue the momentum of the scholarship to fundraise the maximum amount to further
leave a foundation for more scholarships in the future and to bring awareness of the scholarship
itself.
a.
Applications for vacant positions have continued to roll in and it appears we will have
multiple positions up for nomination at the regular meeting on October 14. That said, I am still
looking for more positions to be filled so please continue to advertise among students.
b.
President Kyle Powell and I, along with the Director of Campus Culture Emily Bingham,
have started meeting with various administrators in regards to implementation of Resolution 14-10.
The progress on this administration has been subtle, but still progressing in the right direction. The
task force that is spearheading the initiative for a full-time GLBTQA staff member is furthering
updating their report on the need and justification of a full-time staff member and will further meet
with the various administrators to see through this initiative. There has been some
miscommunication and missteps with Resolution 14-10 and hopefully all those involved, including
myself, will take some lessons from this.
c.
Dr. Robert J. Sweeney, WSU Executive Vice President for Planning and Secretary to the
Board of Trustees, has agreed to take Student Government under for strategic planning. I have
drafted a very basic goals and workflow paper that will be use to set the groundwork and purpose of
need creating a strategic planning for Student Government. The main purpose of this is to re-brand
Student Government to an organization that is known on campus, especially among students, and to
make the organization itself more effective by establishing some measures to bring about
sustainability and a continuous transition from one administration to another. The idea of making
everything that Student Government does intentional and have a purpose behind it. This project
will, and is, be a top priority of mine throughout the rest of the year and will require much discipline
and time throughout the year. Following my initial meeting with Dr. Sweeney, I will release the goals
and workflow to the rest of the organization, and start forming the core committee and other
workgroups to facilitate this need.
d.
Catalleya Storm, President of Generation Freedom Makers, and I met with President Kyle
Powell, Associate Director for Governmental Affairs Robert Yada, and Associate Director for
Student Affairs Bobby Ashworth. We met for an initial meeting to discuss more in-depth the
proposed human trafficking event “Operation Freedom” and hopefully gain partnerships with
members of Student Government to help plan to event as many members of Generation Freedom
Makers do not have the expertise of event planning.

a. David Butcher, Assistant to the Chief of Staff:
1. Events Attended:
1. Cardboard Boat Race, Thursday October 2 @ Student Union
2. Noche de Las Artistas, Thursday October 9 @ Student Union
2. Old Business:

universities to discuss recruitment best practices. Research.
2. Finished Newspaper Scans x 2
3. New Business:
1. Research and find fundraising ideas for Student Gov. Scholarship
5. Administrative Office Report:
.
The CoLA DSAB is very active as of right now. Dean Kristin Sobolik has introduced many
points of interest to the DSAB to gain CoLA student feedback from including the college’s strategic
plan as well as a new center proposal named CLASS: Center for Liberal Arts Student Success. The
main idea behind this proposal is that CoLA faculty and staff know what is best for CoLA students,
as opposed to University College which have overtime become one of the largest colleges on
campus, which shouldn’t be the case as often times students in University College do not get the
proper model for success that students directly admitted to their college receive. It will also bring
about student success in terms of advising, career placement, internships, and general career
guidance moving forward. I will keep Student Government as a whole abreast on the information
moving forward. The model of having more freshmen directly admitted into their respective college
is proving to bring about positive results. I am sure the College of Liberal Arts Senator Brandon
DeFore will also bring about important updates moving forward.

a. I have mentioned Fall Elections to just about every student who has made eye
contact with me over the first week of school.
b. I have spoken to many about joining SG, but a select few, after speaking with them,
seem to want to be Associate Justice.

1) Anime Club
2) Raiderthon
3) Troupe
4) Student Alumni Association
5) Wright State Ultimate Frisbee
6) UAB
6) Concerns
a. Students in the Medical Field complain about not being fully prepared in the physics
courses for the MCAT. A suggestion was made to have a single semester class
(instead of the current academic year class) that specifically covers material that is
pertinent to the newest edition of the MCAT. If you need more info, I will get you
in-touch with the originator of this idea if he/she wants to speak about it.
b. The Moat has raised a lot of controversy, and students seem to like the tradition that
it has instilled, but the university realizes the potential for the space aesthetically. A
majority of the students I’ve spoken with are juniors and seniors and wish the moat
to stay, but I believe it serves little purpose and should suit better as an overhang
space for more tables and an open view of the quad as the younger students I have
spoken with have said.
c. Students have heard about the plans for BACON, but have yet to see any
construction or relocation occur. They look forward to an amphitheatre.
d. A group of students have commented that the light pole near the Alumni Bell Tower
does not illuminate the surrounding area quite as well as they would please for they
feared the possibility of malice occurring and would like to see the light bulb
changed.
