SGA discusses campus safety, fundraising for sociology club

In a Student Government Association meeting this week, held in Magnolia Ballroom, several discussions were brought up other than the final decision on the new wellness center.

Starting off the discussion was Zach Mullins, president of SGA, discussing upcoming modifications. Evan Karanovich, sophomore senator, discussed the three primary goals of campus safety – the improvement of intramural fields, the dining halls and residence halls.

In wanting to improve campus safety, Karanovich said, “Emergency call boxes should be installed in new locations.”

Also mentioned was that GCSU has a “new system,” in which the college has been able to provide a siren system in Napier Hall and West Campus as well.

Another discussion brought up during the meeting was held by Claire Cantrell, junior senator. SGA is allocating $1,000 to the sociology club to hold open discussion on race and equality.

“GCSU’s focus of equity and diversity is highly important,” Cantrell said.

The total is to pay for airfare from Los Angeles ($400), hotel ($200), a rental car and gas money ($200), and printing services ($200).

With the final decision on SGA passing the new wellness center, Rebecca Burns, a junior and mass communication major said: “I think that the Senate did an excellent job voicing both sides and came to a decision that the majority of the campus will be happy with.”

“I think we are moving toward an exciting future for the university and the student body as a whole,” Karanovich said.
