Project Reports

Senators and Executive Officers submit project reports every week and report on their work at the weekly Senate meeting. Older project reports are online here.

This week, I sold Turkey Shuttle tickets and I wrote up a survey for Jenna Brofsky's map of Boston project.

Michael D. Newborn - November 8, 2009

This week, I met with Beneva to discuss her inter-religion event that she plans on hosting next semester. I also drafted Senate Resolution F09-1 to recognize the faculty members who submitted courses to the JBS program. It has come to my attention that some elevators on campus are past their inspection dates, so I am looking into this issue.

This week I went with Jenna Rubin and Sydney to a meeting with Carrie Simmons about Itunes U. I also did some more work for the presentation on overcrowding that was presented to the Board of Trustees this past Thursday.

Michael D. Newborn - October 25, 2009

I have submitted this already, but it appears that the site did not save my submission. I met twice this week with Andy Hogan and Amanda Hecker to discuss overcrowding and to prepare a presentation to the Board of Trustees on overcrowding in the areas of Housing, Dining, and Parking. I took pictures of lofted triples in Deroy, North Quad, Massell Quad, Charles River apartments, and T-Lot to illustrate the phenomena.
I also met with Jeff Wilson of LTS for the final time to discuss the lowering of the prices for students to print at the library. Unfortunately, because of the contract in place between LTS and Conway, the printing company that LTS hired, it will not be possible to lower the price for students to print and the price will remain at 10 cents per page.
