Open Forum:

VP. Crowder: Dr. Conn and I met on Monday on how Senate is doing, and he suggested we should focus on the small projects that we can do. Such as vacuum in the dorm, or volleyball nets that we did in the beginning of the semester. I suggest that if you see small problems that can have immediate effects, please bring it up in sessions. These can bring lasting impact to the Senate 

Dr. Morgan: Any more feedback on the pool? We are open to feedback and there has been no official statement being made.
