Last Week at SGA: In Brief

-Teddy Fisher ‘12, with support from Ingrid Bushwack, Director of Dining Services, presented “Hope for Haiti,” an Oxfam-style dinner in which students can give up their evening meal in Harris Refectory, choosing instead to donate the money used for their dinner to a worthy charity.

– Environmental Affairs Representative Ian Phillips and Campus Environmental Coordinator Amy Cabaniss presented a plan for Conn to offset its electricity use by purchasing RECs, or Renewable Energy Certificates, using their annual budget of $40,000 which is created from a tuition surcharge of $25 dollars per student. The Environmental Model Committee (EMC) supported purchasing wind energy RECs for two years, offsetting almost 100 percent of our annual electricity purchase; yet presenting this and several other options for the Assembly, they all failed to pass. The EMC will reconvene and present alternatives for the Assembly.

– There will be a temporary labeling on currently unnamed major roads on campus, for the ease the New London police when they make their rounds every six months.
