USG Vice President Sydney Dankert, who also acts as the USG liaison for the newly re-established organization Student Commission, discussed the organizations’ first meeting of the semester. Ms. Dankert expressed her enthusiasm about the re-establishment, saying that she is “so happy that this tradition has been reinstated.” Ms. Dankert discussed student concerns over lighting issues, primarily on the crosswalk between Wadsworth Hall and the Walker Building as well as the road which leads from the SDC to Wadsworth. Ms. Dankert reports that facilities management is aware of this issue and is working with the City Commission to improve lighting in these areas.
USG VP Sydney Dankert will be resigning in December. USG wishes her the best in her future endeavors and is grateful for her exemplary service as Vice President. USG will be working on filling vacancies in their body.
