It's hard to believe we've been back as long as we have! This quarter is just flying by!

Last week we had our first planning meeting for the Abilities Expo. During the meeting we discussed the formation of committees. Zach Holler has agreed to be the head of our Vendor Contact Committee. He plans to work with his organization, Abilities United, and RSO by calling and contacting vendors for the event. Andy Macy and Mary Noble of Rainbow Alliance and RCA are also going to help, though they had to talk to their E-Boards about what they could do.

We are looking for more people to volunteer to help with our Setup, Finance and Food Committees. I also met with Jason in Event Services to set up the Apollo Room. Maria Matzik and the Access Center are helping us put the event on. We're very excited about it and cannot wait to share it with all of you at Wright State.

I am still working on my Proposal for the Disability Resource Center. I hope to have it completed in the next week or so. That is when I can bring it to the university. I have received amazing feedback on it, as well.

I am excited for Bus to Butler. I have been encouraging students with disabilities to sign up. I am grateful at the effort Galen and Katrina have put in to make it accessible to students of all ability levels. Make sure you get your tickets before this week! It's coming up fast!

I have also been talking to the disability community, at large, this week. I really want to know what I can do for them and how I can help them. They have given me some great feedback. I am planning to write up a resolution to explore the possibility of making some of the things they said possible. I have spoken with Andy Macy of Rainbow Alliance, who has a common interest in the issue through his organization. We plan to work on two different resolutions to improve services for students.

All in al, it's been a productive week. Enjoy the weekend and RAIDER UP!

Hello!

Throughout the last few weeks I've been gathering information so that I can write a resolution for tiered parking. The time has finally come, I will be drafting the piece of legislation over the weekend and going over it with Jon Maze sometime next week. I'm personally super excited to see this unfold as this will be a great opportunity for commuters to tailor their parking plans to their needs.

In other news, I am also drafting a second resolution to get a new crosswalk painted on Presidential Drive. Residents and commuters are forced to jaywalk across this intersection and it poses a safety issue. Parking and Transportation has asked me to draft a proposal to present to the University and the city of Beavercreek.

The final preparations for Bus To Butler are in the works! I got the shirts ordered and finalized this week. If you haven't bought your ticket already, hurry up! There's limited seating.

Finally, I will be meeting with Simone Polk this week to work on a new budget proposal so we can hopefully align our funds to purchase a new microwave for the Commuter Student Lounge.

Have a great weekend Raiders!

Hi Raiders!

This past week I have continued my efforts to plan a major engineering open house event for prospective students and current students. We will be highlighting the programs and specialties that are represented within our college and will also be featuring success stories of our alumni. Other projects that I am working on include a DSAB Student and Faculty Outreach event that is similar to COSMs Exam Week Bagel Drop, and an initiative to improve the Russ tours that are given during University open houses. I also plan to collaborate with Matt Harmon on the Meeting of the Boards event that will take place next month. As always, let me know if you have any ideas or questions that I might be able to help out with.

Best Regards,

Cory Snyder

CECS Senator

I can happily say that the design work for all of the stuff for Bus to Butler has been completed and so far the feedback I've received is great. I'm really excited for everyone to see the finished Bus to Butler product this year because everyone has worked extraordinarily hard to ensure this year will be better than ever before. As usual, I am still working on the e-sign and plan on continuously working with that as a primary method of advertisement for the campus. Up next on my agenda as far as “big projects” are concerned is to begin working on elections stuff. Beyond that I am going to try to revive the “door decal” project that was started last quarter and somewhat fizzled out which would involve placing decals for each of the Big Six orgs on each of the 6 glass doors of the student org complex. As usual if anyone has any questions feel free to contact me!

Hello all!

This past week was crazy as usual! It is nice to have our new Chief Justice interviews out of the way. Congratulations to Jonathan Maze! Personally, I am getting ready to be a Buddy to an international student in the community, and I am really looking forward to Bus to Butler in just two short weeks! We are in the process of looking for a philanthropy idea for this quarter and next, so if you have any ideas please let me know. Keeping the budget up to date is a non-stop process, but I am pleased to say we are doing well with our funds this year. That's all for now.

Have a good week!

This past week I have the date set up for the "Meeting of the Boards."  It will be on Tuesday, February 7th at 5:30.  I am discussing this at the senate meeting tonight, and will restate at the SG meeting.  I will send out a reminder email this weekend.  My goal is that there will be a good mix of boards there.  I also hope that it will end up being strictly senate at this event.
