The March 23 SGA meeting began at 11:31 a.m.
Hiba Loya, SGA president, discussed quorum and proposed two ways to work around attendance issues.
One of the ways proposed is to have primary officers of student organizations submit the name of a member that will be present during the allotted voting time. The other way to work around quorum is to reduce the number of student organizations that are required at SGA meetings.
Loya asked student organizations which idea they preferred, and most of the organizations preferred the first idea.
Brandon Woodcock is the new SGA vice president of outreach and communication.
Patrick Cardenas, the director of student involvement and leadership, said that applications for the 2021-2022 SGA executive council are on the Get Involved website.
