SA: Resolution 23: Restructuring the SA Communications Committee

Sponsored by: Ulysses Smith ‘13

Whereas, the Student Assembly has increased its efforts to conduct outreach with the Cornell community;

Whereas, the Vice President of Outreach was created to further this initiative;

Whereas, the Student Assembly relies on its committees to further engage students;

Whereas, the North Campus Committee was created to increase the participation of unelected individuals;

Whereas, there is no specific committee or task force charged with conducting outreach;

Whereas, the Vice President of Outreach already serves on the Communications Committee;

Be it therefore resolved, that Article VI, Section 3 D read as follows:

• Communication & Outreach Committee - The committee will ensure a direct and ever present link between students active in campus government and students at-large. The committee will assist in furthering the outreach efforts of the assembly by aiding in the coordination of SA-sponsored events including, but not limited to conducting polls, referenda, community outreach forums, and hearings. The committee will also assist in coordinating efforts and devising strategies to involve more non-voting members in the decisions and events of the SA. It will also actively publicize activities and meetings of the SA and its committees, and relay student interests to the SA. The SA VP Public Relations and the SA VP Outreach shall co-chair this committee. They will be assisted by an outreach team of at least five undergraduate students.

Respectfully Submitted,

Ulysses Smith ‘13
Architecture, Art, & Planning Representative
