Aaron Baker, Lake Campus Senator
During my first week as senator my first goal was to get the word out to the students that they have a way to voice their opinions about their campus experience. I’ve talked with students and introduced myself and had brief discussions on what they think would make life on campus even better. Another one of my goals was to make contact with all students orgs via email asking them when the best time would be for me to attend their meeting, introduce myself, and talk about my future plans for the Lake Campus as well as get feedback from them about ideas they have. All student organizations were contacted at about 4:00pm on 11/5/13 and I am awaiting their responses. I’ve had a detailed tour of the campus and was introduced to the dean and many other members of the faculty and staff by Candace Philpot. I am excited to get things moving and start making an impact for my school and the surrounding communities.

Plan to work with Suk and others on a parking resolution; it hasn’t been done since 2008.
4.
Administrative Office Report: a.
Would you like tier parking? Notice this would give you the option to pay more to park interior lots, however, it does not guarantee you a spot, it only gives you a better chance of getting one closer because fewer students can park there. b.
Parking garage vs. building on playing fields. Parking garage takes longer, is not esthetically appealing, parking passes will double, and you are not guaranteed a spot in the garage. Building on playing fields will only take 4 months, parking passes will not go up, however not as close to campus as a parking garage would be, and we would lose playing fields. (Do we want the campus to be surrounded by parking lots?)
5.
Outreach: a.
Asking students about parking options and what they prefer b.
Continuing to raise money for Raiderthon c.
Talking to students in commuter lounge to see what they like and don’t like about it.
