B. Latino Graduation
This item is up for discussion / possible action regarding the approval of $600.00 from the ___ Account for Latino Graduation, which
is being held on May 19th.
- The president of OLA club speaks about the OLA Latino Graduation. OLA recognizes club graduates in front of their family and the
community. They ordered food for 200 people, but since have become aware of another 100 people planning to attend. The club is
asking for the senate’s support in this. Their caterer is local and charging $275 for the amount of food needed. The actual amount the

New Business
A. Purchasing Boxee
This item is up for discussion / possible action regarding the approval of up to $200.00 from the 73 Equipment Account to purchase
Boxee.
- VP Chuiko: This item will allow us to play things on the television in the SAC East lounge. We can set it up to display anything we
want students to watch. We can manage the content; Boxee works by picking up all channels and playing them from the internet. This
isn’t for playing movies necessarily, but rather for streaming from the internet.
- We would be able to stream information about the SAC Card Businesses and use it as a publicity tool for students. Any committee
could use it to stream wirelessly – a pdf file or powerpoint presentation. The idea behind this is to utilize SAC and the new furniture
there. Boxee doesn’t need sound, it will just provide a form of content and information.
- Senator Steele moves approve $200 from the 73 Equipment account for purchasing Boxee, Representative Avila seconds, 7 yea, 4
nay.
B.
End of the Semester Food Event
This item is up for discussion / possible action regarding the approval of $400.00 from the Programs account to give food to
students during Finals Week.
- Senator Hunerberg: Students really loved this when we did it last semester. It is a great way to serve our constituents. This
would take place one day during the week of May 25-29. There will be a doodle poll available asking who can help out for this
event.
- Representative Avila requests a Roll Call Vote be taken to determine if senators are actually able to participate in this event. It
is noted that the time and date of the event have yet to be determined.
- Roll Call Vote: Can you commit to helping out during this event? (Yeas and nays effectively)

Legislative Representative Gaby Avila: Congrats to Charlotte, I’m glad to have a female president. I came to the student senate
to find a path, being on the senate for three years has been really empowering. I am so happy to have met you all.
Student Trustee Joseph Watkins: Congratulations to Charlotte, it was tough running against you. It was a great experience. I’ll
still be around, I’ve got lots of projects so I look forward to working with you. The S4C event was a really great experience, I had
a lot of fun putting it on with you all.

Senators-at-Large
Stephanie Petrillo I love the Cabrillo College Student Senate.
Laura Hunerberg Thank you all for the help in S4C, I’m excited to be your new VP!
Sharon O’Connor No report.
Darwin Constantino I want to commend all the people who ran in elections and those who won. It was a great experience. Each
one of you has played a part in changing me in some way, and I am grateful for each of you. I’m really looking forward to the
next year. These friendships will last forever.
Chris Steele I learned a lot from everyone, and from our advisors, I know in the beginning I made a couple people cry, I always
appreciated Gaby calling me out. I think what I learned the most over this year was the different dynamics about how to work
with people. The faculty senate met for our last meeting, we talked about the S4C and what a great success it was, one of the
teachers said it was the happiest moment in her life. I’ll talk to SAC Card committee and see if we want to meet tomorrow. In the
Anthro department it was really great to see the 4th graders looking at the bones and rocks. Some of the kids asked me some hard
questions, which was really impressive.
James Williams: Thank you everyone for your patience and guidance, everything has been dully noted, I’ve been paying
attention and watching you all grow. Thank you for helping me expand my sense of community, thank you for extending that to
me and allowing me to be a part of the senate. I want to thank Joseph for your guidance and for stepping up to the plate, I also
want to thank Darwin, and Sharon. Sharon is my example of a really dedicated , hard working person. I would love to stay
forever and come in check in on you al. I’ll really miss Sharon’s attitude and I’ll miss you all. I’m excited for the future and for
each of you.
Steven Culver Not present.
Sarah Davies The 4th grade experience was so much fun, the kids really had great questions. One of them asked me whether
there are bullies, and I told them we would all be friends and there are no bullies. I’m starring in a skit that will be shown on the
big screen, June 3rd is my going away party - I’m moving back to Michigan. I made you all Michigan cookies so I hope you eat
one. I’m wrote something sappy so I’m going to read it to you all.
Kyle Logan After this meeting if anyone needs any help with finals, strategies and study tips, the Business club at 7:30 after the
meeting. Tomorrow is Running Start – show up, we need your help.
Aimée Cornett I want to congratulate everyone in this room for being such driven and ambitious people, this has been so much
fun, I’m so glad that I joined.

Sesario Escoto Congratulations to the graduates, you can still petition to graduate. The transfer center is having a reception next
week so maybe go by there to celebrate. The entire apple order was rejected because my credit card has a $5000 limit. It delayed
reordering for two days, but the inventory for cheaper iPads grew, so we were able to order 12 new iPads. Congratulations to the
new senators and in the new administration, the third week in August is the senate retreat. Those of you that did not get elected –
I asked you before what you would do if you did not get elected, I hope you will continue your service as a senator there is a high
probability you will be appointed to the student senate. Tell your friends to apply as well. I have to commend Kyle for his work
in Running Start and the food committee in Running Start, we decided to give the high school students fresh fruit as well as
granola bars, thank you for your help Kyle. Bus Pass Committee- remember we need to meet with Kristen Fabos to discuss the
passes, don’t let that slide by.
Flor Chacon: The pizza was from Kristen Fabos to thank you all for your support and help. For me there is never an end, only
beginning. Make sure if you are leaving that you pass on the projects you want to see continue. You need to pass on your vision
to future senators. That includes the Cafeteria project. We voted on increasing the SAC card, if you want to see that move
forward you need to make sure you don’t forget that. We did get the furniture in Watsonville, I’ll send an email to everyone to
come see it once it is here. Before I give my last minute to Alex I want to congratulate all of you. VP Chuiko: I forgot to tell you
that today in this election there are no losers. Every single one of you is a winner, you are winners for yourself, you motivated
yourself and you learned and gained this incredible experience. That is bigger than the position. Remember that your work is
more important than your title. It is in the bylaws for the old senators to meet with the new.
