Senate recognizes new club and prepares for next election round

(04/04/17 4:09am)

Students Sharon Cai ’18 and Erica Chai ‘17, representing the publication Wander: Brandeis Abroad, requested club recognition at Sunday’s Senate meeting. Wander is a publication which seeks to provide a platform for Brandeis students who have studied abroad to share their inspirations and ideas in writing and art. The presenters suggested possible collaborations with the Study Abroad Office and student publications Laurel Moon and Jaded to have open mic nights. The Study Abroad Office and Provost’s Office used to charter them, but they no longer fund them due to budget cuts.

Senate charters right to immigration club and prepares for Student Union election debate

(03/14/17 7:15am)

The Student Association for The Right to Immigration Institute came before the Senate for chartering during Sunday’s meeting. Recognized as a club since November, TRII serves to train community members to represent a portion of the 700,000 national pending and backlogged immigration cases in U.S. courts. Student representatives at the meeting told senators that they intend to use funding for their members’ professional training, as well as to sponsor an annual Brandeis Citizenship Day, an event that offers a perspective on immigration to get people involved in the issue, in addition to providing services in the Waltham community. After the club’s presentation, senators opined that the club has a very well-prepared funding plan and has done impressive work. The Senate voted to charter TRII in a unanimous vote.

Students Jenny Ho ’20 and Julianna Scionti ’20, representing the Brandeis Drawing Club, came before the Senate for club recognition. Ho and Scionti particularly highlighted a desire to supply art materials to students who face financial barriers in affording studio art course fees. Their organization is a revival of a previous studio art iteration, the Figure Drawing Club. When asked by Student Union Vice President Paul Sindberg ’18 how the club will avoid a decline like the one seen with the Figure Drawing Club, Ho and Scionti responded that they will focus on well-rounded recruitment of successive class years. In a unanimous vote, the Senate approved to recognize the Brandeis Drawing Club.
