Human Services Club Art Exhibition Info/Action
T. DeSandres
15 Minutes
This item is up for discussion/possible action regarding the approval of up to $1,431.00 from the 71
Programs Account to fund an art exhibit that will be hosted at Cabrillo publicizing the issue of Male
Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse through the creation of bronze casted masks.
Jason came to us last spring with an explanation of the project but ran out of time and we wanted
more information. He is with us now to explain. He brought a bronze casting with a tape - the final
project. We were joined by some of the members of the Human Services Club. Also a student who
transferred from Cabrillo last year who shared his thoughts, “I shared a story with sexual abuse, I
think that this is a great idea, I feel it is very important to raise awareness. I am standing here today
helping to get the student senate’s support, to hope that people can us this exhibit to learn about
their problems.” The ICC has pitched in half the money required for the project and he is hoping the
senate will cover the other half. About half the allocated money has already been spent. The Senate
appreciated the new budget breakdown. It was the recommendation of the budget committee that
the Senate partially fund the project as a gesture of support.
Devin moves and Steven seconds to approve $800 from the 71 Programs account to fund the
Human Services Club Art Exhibition.

Funds for CPEC Training
Info/Action
C. Frost
10 Minutes
This item is up for discussion/possible action regarding the approval of up to $1,100 from the 71
Lecture Series Account for the Certified Peer Education Committee to hold two training sessions.
These funds will cover breakfast, lunch, and the materials and supplies.
This will train students to be peer counselors who will be able to help other students with
psychological and emotional counseling. This will reduce the wait time for students to see councillors
and address issues that can be resolved by peers. The training will be two days, those students will
then have to devote two solid hours a week to seeing students. They will be in teams of two in
meeting rooms next to the vet center, in the library, on secluded benches around campus. Sesario
feels strong enough that he has bought this with his own money. Devin brings up that this isn't really
an appropriate use of the lecture series account, but would be a very beneficial program at Cabrillo.
Moved by Carter and seconded by Devin to approve $1,100 from the 71 Lecture Series
Account for the Certified Peer Education Committee to hold two training sessions. These
funds will cover breakfast, lunch, and the materials and supplies.

A. Executive Officers
President: Laura Hunerberg
Good job today guys; a little quiet but we will work on that. “Be ready for school” is the best
thing to say - as senators we need to put school first. If you need to miss a meeting to
ensure your school work gets done, let carter and Laura know prior to the meeting. We are a
team here, so let’s play to our strengths - like if you need help with computer science asks
Carter, or with English ask me or Tana.
Vice President: Carter Frost
Great start. Please read and respond to your emails. If I send emails I am waiting for a
response. Respond quickly!! That way I don't have to drone on during meetings. One of the
services we offer student is the fax machine. We need to have senators there to "open" the
offices for students to be in there and use our services. That's what "fax machine" means.
Treasurer: Devin Monahan
Second what Laura says. You can get overwhelmed with senate stuff and forget about
schooling. You've got friends here
