My Experience.

I've served on this past year's Cabinet as the Secretary/Treasurer and working with the 8 other Cabinet members has taught me so much about working closely with others and a lot about myself and my own capabilities. Working with Shelly and the rest of Cabinet to put topics that affect the entire student body on the Senate Agendas has really shown me ways in which CG currently communicates with students and how much room there is for improvement.

CG can sometimes be insular, but it's always our hope to break that mentality and to provide opportunities for the students who traditionally may not be involved with CG. I will hold regular Cabinet office hours around campus, both in our office in the Campus Center and in the dining halls around campus so that students will have a chance to come up to us and tell us what's on their minds. Additionally, I will make sure that CG will have a blog next year and Cabinet members will regularly post so that the community is aware of policies that are instituted, of issues surrounding the administration and staff members, and generally what goes on with CG.

I also want to hear individual stories from students who don't know the capabilities of CG. It's my job to educate those people about CG and what they can do FOR you all. I plan on working with the elected Cabinet to issue a survey immediately by the end of this year asking students what they really think of CG. I don't think you can change any individual's mentality but I know that CG can provide as many outlets as possible to not make students care about Wellesley but to constantly support and encourage any type of input or involvement.
