GSSC Bureau Chief Andrew Chee brings you the recap of the latest General Studies Student Council meeting.

Student Health Ambassadors

GSSC kicked off last night by announcing a new program coming this fall called Student Health Ambassadors. Aiming to be a bridge between the student body and Columbia health services, it will consist of four to eight students who will hold office hours from 7 – 9 pm, during which students can walk in and inquire about any issues or questions regarding health services on campus. For individuals interested in serving as a CU Well Peer Leader, applications will go out in the GS emails, and will also be available on the student council Facebook page as well.

Miscellaneous

GS will finally be starting a senior fund, something which the other undergraduate schools have already established. The current goal is for 100 students to be committing $19 each, with the aim of establishing a firm base for giving back to the future community.

Leadership award nominations are also out! Nomination pages can be found in emails; see your emails for further information.
