Report & Updates

Hi, everyone.

I hope you are doing well.

I just wanted to give you all a little updates.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend.

Last week, Senate meeting, I was at a meeting with

Sunni S A and the Sunni Provost to discuss a

pass or fail grade system Sunni wide, to help our

Sunni students during this difficult time.

I'm only required to attend Senate meetings every month, But

I always try my best to attend just to keep

communication tight.

Organization wide, um, to help you all.

If you have any questions, need any help and to

give you guys more insight on what's been going on

on the knee board level.

Before I resume my report, I do just want to

give thanks to everyone who has served or is currently

serving our nation.

It is great to see so many members in our

community make sacrifices and stand up for our freedoms.

So thank you.

I do want to clear up some miscommunication or maybe

some confusion from last week in terms of our group

message. There shouldn't be messages being sent out past 10:30

p.m. This has been something in the past.

I'm a little regulation or rule that's been taking place

just to keep it more respectful.

We shouldn't be waking up anyone in the middle of

the night with the message.

Um, it just keeps it more professional.

And like I mentioned, like, respectful to everyone in terms

of the content that was discussed during that message.

In the past, we have voted things naturally whether that

be a pole or Google form.

Um, but in those instances, there has been information required

for those who are voting to make an informed vote

and to know what they're voting on because our Senate

is fairly new.

Um, you know, you all may not know how a

reallocation works, the contents of the budget or the specific

content When you're voting on without the provided information, we

felt like it was best.

Um, this issue was best voted on during a Senate

meeting because excuse me, even though it is in our

best interest to address reallocations at our earliest convenience, Um,

it is very important for everyone to be informed on

what would require of that reallocation or what would require

of, you know, that specific resolution or that specific topical

you're voting while we do want to vote on it

during a Senate meeting, it has to be for any

business to be addressed during a Senate meeting.

It must be added to the agenda.

Since it was not added to the agenda prior to

the agendas approval, we were unable to discuss it last

week. Moving forward this week, we will discuss this reallocation,

but I didn't want to clear up some things in

regards to why it was not discussed.

All right, we're looking forward to voting on that issue

next week in terms of professionalism, Um, according to our

bylaws, um, so much with the agenda, we are supposed

to follow parliamentary procedure in terms of adding things to

agenda, discussing business.

It just helps us keep more organized in terms of

professionalism. Um, we must be in business.

Casual attire.

Luckily, it is very easy on this platform.

You could be wearing pajama pants.

No one will know.

All right.

You can wear, you know, your most festive, you know,

holiday pajamas.

No one will be able to see it.

Um, if you wanna wear, you know, a button up

shirt, you can wear a sweater you can even wear

maybe a Farmingdale Quarter Zip or Farmingdale.

Keir, that is totally fine.

But anything past that, um, we just want to keep

as business casual is possible.

In case, you know, our meeting is supposed to be

open up, Thio.

Anyone? If Dr Jordan or even, you know, if Dr

Nadir wanted to stop by, I mean, everyone was in

casual attire or literally their pajamas.

It would not look so great in terms of how

our organizations perceived.

Even though we are students, we are a professional organization,

all right?

And I do want to go over how our office

hours will be conducted this week.

Um, and moving forward by this point, we have received

everyone's office hours.

What dates and times they would like, Which is great.

Thank you all for replying at your earliest convenience.

Like we discussed our office hours will be taking place

on Google meets.

If you have never created event during Google meat, we

will go over that now.

So once you go into Google when you're allowed into

your Farmingdale email, if you cannot find Google meets on

your applications, you can just I mean, excuse me, Google

calendar. Under your applications, you can just type calendar under

the Google search bar, and it should show up.

Once you are on your calendar, you're going to select

the deep.

You would like to have your office hours, and you

will select a new event button or create event button.

Once you hit that, this little page should show up.

And under the title you want toe type office hours

and select the appropriate date and time of your office

hours. Once you do that, you want to hit the

ad Google meet videoconferencing button.

Once you do this, there should be a link, um,

to the video conference for your office hours.

You can copy and paste that.

We would like to post this on social media so

it's open to all of our students or anyone who

would like to like to stop by, maybe ask some

questions. Um, this is also great organization allies.

Um, excuse me, organization wise, Um, if a senator would

like to collaborate with you on a resolution or if

another center had a question about what you were doing,

um, for resolution or maybe researching research you were conducting

like with the student body through a survey or something

like that.

Um, it just helps us stay more contact.

Um, during your office hours.

The other thing would like to go over is how

to use T sheets Now are T sheets.

Membership is month is monthly Because of our late start.

We're finalizing our membership now.

So the walk home about to show you this is

a screenshot from a T sheets tutorial.

It is not exactly how your page will look like,

so I will.

You know you will.

You will understand what we go through it.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Or maybe some confusion.

Then I could come from that.

Um To start, I would highly recommend downloading the T

sheets app It is free.

It is a lot more convenient to use.

You can also just go on t shirts dot com.

This page will look a little bit different, but I

would highly recommend down in the app It is for

apple or android, whichever device you have.

So once our organization is set up, you will be

invited with your farming.

Don't email.

That is what you will use the log on and

you'll create your account there with your password.

But once you do that, you are going to hit

the this job, dropout.

Drop down bar.

Under that, there'll be an option that says office hours.

You will select that option.

Um, on our page, it will not say Service item.

It'll say location.

You're gonna hit that drop down bar and select remote

because that is how we're conducting our office hours from

a remote setting.

And then you will hit clock in this little button

on the bottom.

Right? That is green.

You will clock in once your office hours begin before

you can clock out.

You have to enter a description in this notes bar

right over here.

Um, that bottom option right there.

That bottom bar.

Excuse me.

This description should be descriptive towards what you accomplished or

what you were working on during your office hours.

What you could be working on is you could be

talking with a student.

Um, in regards to issues they're having, you could be

making a survey or, um, sending out a survey to

students to get more research to help some of the

resolutions or work you're working on This could also be

you were researching something.

Let's say your appropriate notes could be I did research

on the pastor field grading system at SUNY Oneonta and

then give a little summary of that.

And then perhaps I would recommend putting the link to

the research you were conducting or the site you were

conducting that way.

Whoever is reading the notes, we'll have a better insight

in terms of what you were discussing.

If you were writing a resolution, you could say I

worked on my blank resolution.

It's located in this file and then send a link

to the file, Um, in the team's folders.

Um, if you were talking with a student, you could

say I met with first name, last name and then

there Farmingdale email about and then talk about what you

guys were discussing.

Things like that are appropriate.

We don't want to see worked on resolution, nothing there

and then not really know what you worked on in

the past.

This would occur, and it would turn out that work

wasn't really being conducted during office hours.

We don't want you all doing like homework, things that

aren't SDA related during this time.

Um, what else would be appropriate doing?

Excuse me?

What else would be appropriate to be done during office

Hours would be committee work later this week.

Will be assigned to committees.

All right, these might require specific work.

Was that the PR committee?

Um R Budget Committee?

Um, you could be assigned work during this time.

That would be appropriate to be done during office hours.

All right, so later this week, during the next meeting,

we'll go over how to write a resolution.

But what?

I want you guys to focus on what we want.

You guys, excuse me to be focusing on is research.

Whether that be you could go on our farming, their

website. They do conduct articles of research that I've done

every year on the demographics of the school.

And a lot of those demographics have to do with

prominent issues on campus.

Okay. A Sunni, the Sunni wide.

There are research done every similiar in regards to, um,

the student body.

I know one specific one that Farmingdale has been putting

out a lot on their social media is the mental

and physical health of students.

That is a really prominent topic right now.

Um, this doesn't even have to be research.

Um, excuse me.

This isn't necessarily have to be research articles, like, demographic

specific. This could be research on things that are happening

right now, um, prominent issues, whether that be covert related

or whether that be, you know, because this, for example,

could be I'm a link to how our school, you

know, our protocols for cove it or another schools protocols,

just example.

Doesn't have to be covert related, but that's just the

first example that came to mind.

Um, if you do need help being connected with research

or you're you're having trouble finding sources for anything I

would highly recommend, Um, talking with your Senate leader charisma

or contacting Darien, you could also contact me.

I have no problem helping anyone with anything.

Um, the more research you have to write your resolution,

the more strong it'll be.

At the end of the day.

This is the benefit of student body.

So it is in your best interest to conduct as

much research as possible to make your resolution as accurate

as possible for this week.

Besides research the first task, we would like you to

do is to complete a 2 to 3 seconds Bio.

I'm just about yourself.

You know, For example, like, Hi, my name is Natalie

Rogers, and I'm the president of FSC s D.

A. This year, I am a computer systems major.

I graduated last year, and I graduated last year in

the visual communications major.

And then maybe a sentence about what I like to

advocate for you could also maybe include another sentence with

maybe a hobby.

You know, I love Grey's Anatomy.

Something like that, because of advocacy.

You know, I'm huge on inclusion equity for all of

our students.

It's been along the lines of that.

You wanna be you don't be so Vega's.

I just wanna help the student body, you know, maybe

try and find a topic that will help students connect

with you and understand what your specific goals are.

And the coup exactly.

You're representing the end of the day.

We represent the student body at large.

You do represent you know, some of you are senators

for the school business centers.

For our in science is there should be some specific

issues that you are extremely passionate about.

And then after that they should only take no more

than maybe 15 to 20 minutes for the rest of

your office hours.

I would really start researching what other Sunni schools are

doing. Maybe some issues that are happening right now on

our campus or even Sunni wide would be most beneficial

for you guys to start writing resolutions.

If you guys have any questions, like I said, please

feel free to contact me.

Contactar Senate leader Charisma Contact Arian I'm staying in communication

will be most beneficial for you, especially since we are

on a remote setting.

Um, it isn't as easy to contact everyone.

You know, I I know.

For those of you who are who are most familiar

with the organization, there will always be someone in the

office can come down.

Say hi, Thio, you know, have that communication going on.

Um, you know, you know, high.

I so and so like, what are you doing?

And you know, a lot would come from that.

The more you collaborate with your fellow senators, the easier

it is.

It will be to write your resolutions, get your work

done and better represent the student body.

If you guys have any questions?

I'm just gonna keep on saying it.

Please feel free to reach out.

Do you have a nice day, everyone?

I will see you next meeting and enjoy the rest

of your week.

Bye, guys.
