The GCSU covered several important details for upcoming campus events — especially Geneva’s annual Homecoming celebration that occurred this past weekend — while also handling additional business items including a campus-improvement proposal written by Freshman Class President Ben Che.
Representatives distributed shifts to manage the GCSU Homecoming T-Shirt table from the hours of 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. as well as discussed the details of the Club-run Homecoming Carnival.
Another important order of business was to take pictures for Representative Profiles that will be featured on the Geneva College website in coming weeks. GCSU Videographer Alex Aseltine took the photographs, and they can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.482875028409647.110238.255313067832512&type=1.
Ben Che proposed adding a charging station located in the McCartney Library for commuters who need to charge their laptops while they’re in class, but have nowhere to safely store them. He explained the steel shelved, rolling case that the library has already agreed to place behind their front desk. To further insure a high-quality of security, commuters will have to check-in and check-out with their student identifications with the employee working at the front desk. Costs concerning this project were well-calculated by Che at $433.03.
The GCSU briefly discussed the proposal and decided to pass the proposal with 13 in favor and 1 opposing. The project is currently in progress and no estimated time of completion has been given.
The LCD screen in Alex’s project is also in progress. Last month, the GCSU passed a proposal written by Social Media Manager Ben Butler to put $1000 towards a 55-inch LCD screen in the lobby of Alex’s. Purchasing Director Nancy Graham and Instructional Media Center Director Dave Rhoades are working on getting the highest quality LCD screen for the best price possible. Additional funding is needed from other departments to afford the project and is currently being sought.
