Be a Part of The constitutional Review Task Force

posted Dec 4, 2011 12:28 PM by Anthony Nguyen

The Student Union is conducting a Constitutional Review!

We need representatives from the following areas:

- Intercultural Community

- Religious Organizations

- Artistic/performance organizations

If you are interested in serving on the Review Task Force, please email me at hrosen@brandeis.edu

While not a University initiative, this Constitutional Review will hopefully benefit the undergraduate student body in the future, and I welcome any student input on the matter. Our Constitution can be found at brandeisstudentunion.org by clicking on the About Section.

This is a chance for us to impact Brandeis and the way of life for our undergraduates. If you are interested, please don't let this run by you.

You are cordially invited to the Student Union's Club Leader Social. This event will be an opportunity for club leaders to meet, network, and hopefully strike up new partnerships for events and activities in a delightful atmosphere with light refreshments. We will also be featuring a couple of speakers. There will also be some information about the University Strategic Planning Process, and the opportunity for you to share your thoughts on what can make Brandeis better! This event will be held on December 7th from 7-9 pm in Ridgewood Commons and business casual attire is requested. Hope to see you there!

Email Dillon Harvey (dharvey@brandeis.edu) or Tamar Schneck (tschneck@brandeis.edu) if you have any questions.

Senate Club Support Committee Renewal Update

posted Dec 4, 2011 12:24 PM by Anthony Nguyen   [ updated Dec 4, 2011 12:25 PM ]

In order to better organize clubs on campus, the Senate Club Support Committee is in the process of mandatory club renewal.This new process of renewal will occur annually as it is a part of the senate's constitution. The goal of this process is to take an accurate census of the clubs on campus and conduct a mass update of the myBrandeis clubs page. All clubs [secured, chartered, recognized] have been required to fill out a simple google doc to confirm their activity. Clubs that have failed to do so are now considered inactive and are now in jeopardy of being de-chartered/de-recognized by the spring semester of 2012. Approximately 190 clubs have submitted the form as of December 1st, 2011.

Not only will this process highlight inactive clubs, it will also allow current and prospective students to better interact with clubs by having access to updated information. This information will include club meeting times and location, club leadership and contact information, constitutions of the club, and more. It is presumed that the process will have a positive externality of encouraging club productivity since it imposes club accountability.

Club Renewal Form:

If you have any questions regarding this process please feel free to contact the Executive Senator and Club Support Chair, Shekeyla Nicole Caldwell [snc14@brandeis.edu] or the Senate's Club Support Committee [senateclubsupport@lists.brandeis.edu]
