The HSS Committee Chair, Rachel Huang, explained the purpose of the committee and the various initiatives we pursued last year. The other committee members introduced themselves and explained the goals they had within the committee. One goal we have for this year is to raise awareness about HSS on campus. We plan to achieve this goal by working with student organizations and departments with a HSS focus. Another goal we have is to plan more annual HSS events aside from Sex Week. We plan to achieve this goal by collaborating with other organizations and brainstorming large-scale events. | |
| 9/3/2023 16:16:38 | 9/2/2023 | Resham | Talwar | Committee on Academic Affairs | We discussed the progress every senator made on the goals we discussed over the Summer. We decided to draft a survey to understand some issues that students are facing. New members were brought up to speed on all that we have been up to. Bill defining role of Academic Senators and its differentiation from Academic Affairs was thoroughly discussed. On Tuesday we are meeting the Deans of WSE, Krieger along with Justin Lorts from LDL to discuss "Meet the majors." We also reached out to SDS to invite them to one of our GBMs. PILOT Support, credit transfer hassles, departmental communications, registration were other goals members of our committee are focused on. | |
| 9/4/2023 15:51:10 | 9/3/2023 | Hailey | Saya Tomlinson | Women and Gender Minorities Caucus | The WGMC Caucus began its transition from the break to the school year after the first week of class. The Caucus Chair began networking with SGA executives to seek guidance in building caucus membership and began gathering information for a memo on the state of gender neutral bathrooms at JHU (from both university and outside, LGBTQI+-led organizations). The Caucus Chair also began interviewing gender-minority, transgender, and cisgender students on campus to gather a sample of experiences and opinions on the situation surrounding all-gender/gender neutral bathrooms on campus. | |

The first meeting was agreed to be held on Sunday, Sept 10th, during which the Vice Chair elections will be held. Members interested in running for the position will be preparing 1-2 minute speeches, after which voting will be conducted. In addition, as Chair of CSO, I conducted a meeting with the previous chair from 2022-2023 to go over the re-registration process on HopkinsGroups. I have begun downloading constitution and bylaws files for student groups. At the present time no registrations have reached the SGA stage of the approval process, but I am monitoring the site for upcoming changes. | |

Furthermore, we are finalizing the initiatives that we want to pursue for the upcoming year, including creating a new FLI mentoring program with JHU faculty and staff as well as creating a OneHop FLI section. | |
| 9/11/2023 18:08:02 | 9/11/2023 | Daniel | Park | APIDA Caucus | Meeting this week over what events they wish to do. Underwent introductions to each other to foster communication. Provided a master calendar to collaborate and keep individuals in the know about what people are doing for each cultural organization. IAC is meeting with Vice-Provost of Admissions on Thursday to discuss affirmative action and with Dr. Charles Lu, Dean of Multicultural Affairs on Friday. | |

We were excited to hear from an organization that they are interested in a potential co-sponsorship event, so we look forward to working with them in the future when the time comes. | |

At the meeting, we had our vice chair elections and Senator Gabriel Granados was unanimously elected for the position. Following the meeting, I had Senator Granados look through the CSO transition documents and reach out with any questions.

This plan will be released in the upcoming days, and the tabling event will most likely be mid-October. We also discussed helping Homewood Recycling plan Food Waste themed events. | |

This includes Dining, Financial Aid, ResLife, Student Affairs, and Housing. There have been meetings set and discussions had about issues that the student body have brought to our attention.

| 10/10/2023 14:07:21 | 10/8/2023 | Shruti | Tyagi | Committee on Student Organizations | This past week, the Committee on Student Organizations began reviewing incoming re-registrations for the 2023-2024 academic year. Six re-registrations were presented by six members and all were voted to be approved with minor modifications (largely anti-hazing statements and/or additions to member rosters). As 68+ new registrations have been sent to the CSO stage of approval, approximately 40 new re-registration applications were delegated out to each CSO member, giving everyone 2 assignments to complete by next Sunday's meeting. Our action items are to a) have everyone complete their assignments for review and voting next meeting, and b) to request the necessary modifications from the student groups discussed last week. We aim to complete a majority of registration applications before the end of October. | |
| 10/10/2023 14:08:37 | 10/10/2023 | Stone | Meng | Internal Affairs | This week, we finalized the attendance policy bylaw updates. We reduced the total number of excused absences, and we are going to count unexcused absences in the same category as excused absences. This means that an unexcused absence also counts toward excused absences, which makes logical sense. Additionally, we added attendance incentives. The President of SGA or the President of the senate can indicate that a SGA event is eligible, and members who volunteer/attend it can have their absences redacted. For specifics, please see the bill in the agenda. | |
| For upcoming goals | we want to keep making rational and positive changes like the attendance bylaws updates in order to improve the experience of every member of SGA. , | |||||

Attendees engaged with the sustainability plan by leaving comments. We also instructed attendees to follow @JHUSGA and @JHUSustainability on Instagram. We also invited JHU Health Promotion and Wellbeing to our committee meeting where we gained insight into what their department does and potential collaborations.
