Clare's Three C's

Advancing Change:
- Restructuring Senate and House Council, so that Senates include more organizational involvement from "Organization of the Week" and more open forums to students at large through "Hot Topic of the Week." In addition, I'd like to propose a plan in accordance with next year's HP's to switch the days of House Councils and Senates so that House Councils are held Monday nights in the res halls and Senate will be on Tuesday nights. This will ensure constituency feedback, more face-to-face dialogue in the Academic Council Room, and an increase in Senators' attendance and retention.
- Changing the way CG interacts with students through an end of the year survey and regular CG office hours

Improving Communication:
- Fireside Chats with Debra DeMeis, the new Dean of Students
- Institutionalize regular Town Halls, at least once a semester, where the faculty or administration will present to the student body in a centralized space
- College Government Blog
- Revamping the CG website so we increase accessibility

Daring to Challenge:
- Following through with the Faculty Code of Ethics
- Town Halls where the administration and the faculty will present on a pressing issue affecting the College Community to the student body
- Accountability for Student Reps on administrative and academic committees

These are some realistic goals I have set for the upcoming year and I hope to be remembered for a solid year of consistent successes as CGP.
