General Business Meeting
Tuesday Oct. 10th
Amanda Bastiani, Associate Director of Violence Prevention and Non-Discrimination Education about her new position, and took a poll to see how students understand some policies and procedures on campus.
“Basically what I try to do is get in with employees and students,” said Bastiani. “I try to get them into different groups to have them work together. Basically what it comes down to is prevention education and then trying to see the colleges overall institutional compliance.”
Bastiani also spoke about the upcoming opportunity to create grounding kits for victims of domestic violence. For more information on that opportunity, look at the Briefs
Making a point that October is domestic violence awareness month, Bastiani directed students to on and off campus resources.
“If you are looking for some outside of the campus resources, there are places like the Albany county crime and convention center, Equinox and some online help. There are also places inside campus like the health center, counseling center, student affairs or Res life.”
Old Business –
Midknight Madness
Vito VanDunk, President
“Last week, we started talking about the topic of the week and Midknight Madness
was brought up. As most of us know, there was a shock to the campus when we were told
Midknight Madness was cancelled this year. This was due to many factors and there were many decision behind it.
After a lot of concerns were brought to Student Association and Student Affairs, Athletics – Student Association and Student Affairs came together and we all had a meeting about it and we are going to bring Midknight Madness back this year. I will have more details to come as we move forwards with the event.
It will be in November – it will be later than normal just because of where we are in the planning currently. Thank you for expressing your concerns to all of us and pushing for what you wanted.”
Student Association Meetings are held every Tuesday at 7 pm in Standish A/B
