SGA UPDATE for Friday, 11/19/10

Student D.O. of the Year
An email was sent out this week with the nomination form for the SDOY award.  This is a very prestigious award and the selected individual will be in the running against nominees from all over the country.  If you know a fellow classmate that you think deserves recognition for their commitment to our school, the community and the osteopathic profession, please fill out a nomination form.  The deadline for all nominations is December 10, 2010 at noon.


Study Room Rules of Common Courtesy:
  1. Do not cover the window or leave your belongings unattended in the room for hours at a time.
a)      Your stuff can be moved or stolen.
b)      Share. As you may have noticed, we have a limited number of study rooms. Out of consideration for others, share your room with your classmates if you are the only one in the room. Sharing is caring! 
  1. Clean up after yourself.
a)      There’s a trash can in here, please use it.
b)      Also, if you eat in the room and there’s food residue on the table or walls, Wipe it!
c)       REPORT SPILLS! Call maintenance immediately so that the new stain doesn’t become another permanent decoration. 
  1. If you take chairs out of this room, return them when you’re done.
  2. Try to keep the noise to a minimum, so people in the rooms next door can study, too.
  3. No sleeping for long periods of time – your bed at home is MUCH more comfortable. :)

We all want clean accessible study areas and by working together, we can make that happen!


Guest Speakers
-We now have TouroCOM coffee mugs to give to our guest speakers as a token of our appreciation.  Club Leaders please contact one of the SGA members if you are bringing in a speaker. 


Survey Question of the Week
I have attached your responses to last week’s question to this email.  Once again, we strongly encourage you to take the 10 seconds to the weekly survey.  This is the only way we can really get the consensus we need on certain issues that we plan to address in the future. 


Library
We want to remind you that eating and drinking beverages other than water is prohibited in the library. While SGA continues to gain more privileges for students, (i.e. exam viewing computers, extra exam viewing hours, extended library hours, etc.) we need some simple cooperation from your end.  We have been warned that if students continue to break the rules, the library may not be open when it’s not fully staffed:  7:30-8:00am and evening proctoring hours.  Please just follow the rules so it doesn’t have come down to cutting the few hours that we do have in the library.  Thanks!
