This week, seasoned student politics report Joseph Milholland brings you a few quick updates from last night’s GSSC meeting.

The General Studies Student Council didn’t tackle any big topic in their general body meetings (although they did have their usual, behind-closed-doors executive session), so this GSSC news for this week is just a bunch of updates. Here they are:

• Usenator Katherine Sotano is trying to collect supporters of renovations to the Dodge Gym.
• VP of Finance Ian Hewitt is preparing for F@CU and making a finance spreadsheet.
• VP of Policy Elizabeth Heyman is meeting with the Office of Disability Service (ODS) later in the week.
• GSSC President Peter Nason has some updates on proposals recently passed. The proposal to extend the add/drop period to the fifth week of school is in the hands of Dean Hartford, who is reaching out to other departments. The Service Corp proposal (a special recognition at graduation for veterans of the military) is in the hands of Dean Uiloa. The increase in student life fee proposal is also with GS deans.
• The council voted to spend up to $1,600 on the senior class gifts, business card holders.
• The council also voted to spend $3,000 on a first-year class reunion at BoSchwo.
• Alumni Affairs Rep Erin Giventer is working to bring together the alumni groups from GS and the School of the Arts. Both GS and SoA have many students involved in the arts.
