Numerous additions were made to SUNY Cortlands’ senate as well as our clubs, at this week’s senate meeting.
There were a handful of students who wanted to join the Student Government Association (SGA), all who advocated for themselves and their reasons for joining. There were students ranging from sophomores to seniors or even transfer students who wanted to be involved in the SGA. All the students who spoke were approved by the senate and admitted to the SGA.
New Clubs
Along with new additions to the SGA, two new clubs were approved at the last senate meeting. These clubs are:
Crochet Club
- The Crochet club is a club for anyone who enjoys crochet or would like to learn how. They also hope to donate some of the things created by the club to those in need.
Chem Club
- The Chem Club has come back to SUNY Cortland. The club is trying to push more of a positive attitude towards science with fun experiments and activities having to do with Chem. Some fun things discussed at the meeting for the club include period table cupcakes, making ice cream with nitrogen oxide and even a science movie night. Anyone who is interested in chemistry, not just science or chemistry majors, are welcomed to join!
Both clubs gained over 100 signatures. If anyone is interested in creating their own club, reach out to these two clubs who have just gone through the process themselves to learn more.
