In addition to introducing new legislation, senators appointed a new vice president of municipal affairs and confirmed new members of the University Committee in Wednesday night’s Student Senate meeting.
Gig the Vote director and finance senior Spencer Davis was sworn in as the new Vice President of Municipal Affairs, a role in which Davis said he will excel at thanks to his extensive, “knowledge of politics.” Davis will be tasked with leading and maintaining the Texas A&M Student Body’s relationship with the City of Bryan and College Station’s City Staff and elected officials, according the SGA website.
New legislation brought to the attention of the student senate included the Transparency Act, Green Dot Bill, Elected Senators Rights and the Finance Bill of 2017 amongst others.
The Green Dot bill received special attention from senators, known for “capitalizing on the reduction of high risk situations,” for students. Select senators made known their own Green Dot certification and the benefits it will provide on campus.
