Coming to an end...

Dear 'Canes:

How quickly has the time passed? It feels as if it were just yesterday that we began serving you. But, here we are almost a year later and the transition to the next group of SG Leadership has begun.

It has truly been an outstanding experience and a privilege to serve you. We have worked on many projects that we hope will continue to benefit you. We currently have five ZipCars on campus with plans to expand the fleet this semester. Rent your ZipCar for only $8 per hour by clicking here, best of all gas and insurance is included...and you only have to be 18+. Also, Starbucks is open later on Sundays, the parking lot by the Wellness Center is all-access, register for classes online now, UBikes are available at the bookstore for only $69, the Health Center is open on Sundays from 12-4pm, the Latin Honor policy was revised thanks to the Senate and there is a recycling bin next to nearly every trash can on campus thanks to GreenU. We also continue to work on our promise to improve advising. A proposal has been presented to the Deans and SG will continue to move forward with the project this coming year with the information that we received from you through the Advising Survey.

It has been some year and we are very excited for what is to come. From the "Committed To U" team, we would like to congratulate the newly elected SG leaders for 2009-10. We know that Lionel, Kristen, Jeremy, Christina and Amy will do an outstanding job and we wish them the very best!

Sincerely,

Brandon, Claudia, Sha and the "Committed to U" team!

GO 'CANES!

Campaign Season...

Dear 'Canes:

A month into the semester already and we've already had a great start to the year. With great speakers including presidential candidate Barack Obama, the university is really preparing us for the upcoming elections. They hope to bring John McCain before the election as well. This series is all part of the "Dialogue for Democracy" where throughout the semester the university will explore key issues driving the upcoming presidential election. Don't forget to register to vote! October 6th is the last day to register in Florida!

Speaking of elections, Senate elections for Student Government are taking place from Mon. 9/22 through Wed. 9/24. Results will be announced at the Rat Wed. 9/24 at 5:00 p.m. Please be sure to stop by the UC Breezeway to vote for your representatives. Everyone that votes will receive a 20% Off coupon to Denny's!

SG is continuing to work on completing many projects that impact you. ZipCar is here, dining hours are extended to 9:30pm on Mon-Thurs, the parking lot by the Wellness Center is all-access, UBikes are all over campus and we are still working on ESPNU, online registration, improved advising, our GreenU promises and much more! Click here for an update on all of our projects. We will continue to update our Initiatives page throughout the semester.

We also want to hear from you. Our Campus Involvement Committee will be asking to come and speak with several student organizations about how SG can continue to serve you. We will also hold several "Speak Up, Speak Out" events all over campus to get feedback from you.

Go 'Canes!
