The PTC Student Senate gathered for its first meeting of 2012 today at 11 a.m.
“It was a busy meeting since we basically had to set the agenda for the semester,” says Student Senate President Torfi Arnarson. “And, we were all certainly happy to have such good attendance at the year’s outset,” Arnarson adds.
Student senators and students in attendance discussed several high-impact topics including a proposed new method for disbursing financial aid (known as the HigherOne project), the installation of a new wall monument to recognize those who donate to the PTC Foundation and, the senators made tentative plans to carry out a survey to assess what students seek in the way of on-campus entertainment in addition to the already-slated Bowling Night, movie nights, and the annual end-of-year BBQ. Also, Arnarson, having served as PTC Student Senate President for two terms, announced his decision not to run in the next election.
The next Student Senate meeting will be held Feb. 15, 11 a.m. and is open to all students, staff, and faculty members.
