As our beloved secretary, Rebecca, will be graduating at the end of this year, we are looking for a new secretary so that Rebecca can train him or her. Below are the duties of the secretary. If you are interested in the position, please come to the SGA meeting this Sunday, November 9th, prepared with a 2-3 minute speech on your qualifications and why you would be the best person for the job. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at jordyn.sims@trincoll.edu.
As a non-voting member of the SGA, the Secretary’s duties include:
- attend and take minutes at: full senate meetings, steering board meetings
- maintain attendance records
- compile and make copies of the agenda for every full senate meeting
- make copies of all resolutions for each full senate meeting
- compile documents for the webmaster to post online
- assist the executive board
The secretary position is large time-commitment and should not be taken lightly. As a result, the position does include a $650 stipend per semester. Ideally we would like someone who can hold this position for two or more semesters. Unfortunately seniors cannot apply as we try to create as much continuity as possible with this position.
Again, if you have any questions, please e-mail me at jordyn.sims@trincoll.edu and we look forward to meeting all of the interested candidates at this Sunday, November 9th’s meeting!
Thanks,
Jordyn Sims

There are quite a few very simple things in life that make me very happy. These include, but are not limited to the following: no line at airport security (this never happens); a new spelling of my name (usually produced by a creative Starbucks employee – I’ve given up hope that the correct spelling will ever surface); sunshine (I’m from California, you had to see that one coming); warm sheets out of the dryer (especially really soft ones); a really good kiss (NOT in the rain – I prefer to be dry, thanks. Snow, however, is acceptable if you’re taking notes); and political primaries with some really solid candidates. There are very few things in life that make me unhappy and they are: Fox News; losing my Trinity ID card; soupy macaroni at Mather (really guys, come ON); and when people accuse my generation of apathy.
By these standards, today’s been a pretty solid day. And the next few months promise to bring more of my favorite things (after all, the east coast has to get sunny again SOMETIME, right?). Read the rest of this entry »
