ConnPIRG Resolution

Nathan Kirschbaum — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 23:21:39 +0000

Fellow Bantams,
Wondering what happened to the ConnPIRG question on the election ballot?
The ConnPIRG issue has been resolved. The members of Trinity’s ConnPIRG chapter have come together with the students of the SGA senate to reach an amicable agreement on the funding of ConnPIRG. The continuation of ConnPIRG on Trinity’s campus is guaranteed through an operating budget next year. We apologize for any confusion on this issue.

Nathan Kirschbaum — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 20:25:22 +0000

The SGA is excited to announce that the new shuttle system is now fully operational. Included in this new service is a GPS system that gives students the ability to track the shuttles location from their computers or web-enabled phones.

The website for GPS tracking is: http://gps.trincoll.edu. This link can also be found at TrinitySGA.com.

The shuttle service will operate Sunday through Wednesday from 6pm to 2am. From Thursday through Saturday both of the shuttles will be in operation from 8pm to 4am.

The shuttle will operate on a continuous loop, making 14 stops around campus. The stops are as follows:

Mather (1 minute wait)
Seabury (Hamlin Archway)
Jarvis Arch
86-88 Vernon Street
Vernon Street Crosswalk (30 second wait)
Ogilby
Interfaith House 155 Allen Place (30 second wait)

The shuttle will also make brief stops at the Kappa and Sigma Nu houses as necessary.

Please feel free to contact us with any concerns that you may have about the new shuttle system. The SGA has created a new standing committee this year called the Student Safety & Well-being Committee. This group of students is charged with working with the Campus Safety Department to ensure that our needs are being met and that the campus stays proactive about safety and security.

Serve on an Administrative Committee

Nathan Kirschbaum — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 18:09:07 +0000

The SGA is currently looking for students who are interested in serving as full voting members on four very important and consequential committees.

If you are interested in serving as member on any of the follow three committees, please come to the SGA meeting this Sunday, September 21, 2008, at 7 pm in Hamlin Hall:

Campus Climate Committee (4 Students Needed)
The Campus Climate Committee is charged with designing and implementing strategies that improve the quality of community life and help to make the College a place where all members of the community feel welcome and able to contribute fully to the daily transactions of work, study and play. The committee identifies program ideas, allocates a budget to support good ideas from others, and recommends policy to the appropriate College officers. Examples of the committee’s work are the creation of the new Vernon Allen Houses, discussion forums, and new funding sources to support for spontaneous ideas that either enrich community life and/or explore important cultural issues. The committee includes staff, faculty, students and administrators. Candidates must be available on Fridays from 12pm to 1pm.

Planning and Budget Committee (2 Students Needed)
The PBC is the committee that makes recommendations to the college on how to spend money. The PBC hears proposals to, for example, hire a new faculty member, make infrastructure changes around campus, raise tuition, or raise faculty salaries, and then weighs the financial cost of said proposal with the benefits that said proposal would bring to campus. There are only two student spots and those students are the only students on campus who have a vote in the college’s financial decisions. Your vote on PBC matters is equal to the vote of every professor, staff member, or Dean that sit on that committee. It’s a big responsibility, but it’s also very rewarding. Students who want to sit on this committee should be open to the possibility of remaining on for more than one term, since it takes a little more than a semester to get the feel of things. Meetings are every Monday at 1pm.

Board of Trustees Student Forum Committee (3 Students Needed)
This committee will meet in advance of trustee weekend to discuss and determine topics for the student-trustee forum. Student representatives on this committee will also help to make decisions regarding student representation at the forums. They will work closely with Dean Alford, Chaplain Read, and a member of the Board of Trustees to provide a formal and productive forum that is valuable to both students and trustees.

If you are interested in the following committee, please follow the instructions below:

Chartwells Subcommittee (2 Students Per Class Needed)
The SGA is looking for students interested in serving on our Chartwells Food Subcommittee. You’ll meet weekly in Mather Dining Hall on Fridays at 1 PM to discuss suggestions for improvement, etc. with the managers of Chartwells. We’re looking for two freshmen, two sophomores, two juniors, and two seniors. If you think you’d be good for the position and are willing to make the time commitment, send a brief statement to Rebecca.Herrigel@trincoll.edu by noon on Tuesday, September 23. The first meeting will be held on Friday, September 26.

Funston Laundry Room

Nathan Kirschbaum — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:18:11 +0000

The laundry room in Funston is currently not in operation. There is a problem with the circuits that supply the electricity to the machines. The school is working to resolve this problem quickly.

Hot Water Problem

Nathan Kirschbaum — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:57:20 +0000

It has been brought to our attention that certain buildings in Area 2 have no hot water. We have been in contact with the Director of Facilities who has informed us that one of our boilers malfunctioned. The boiler is now back in service. However, It may take a few hours before hot water is returned to all buildings. We will keep you updated here with any further developments.
