The Student Government Association has many new projects underway for this semester and future semesters, according to organization leaders.
One of the projects SGA is working on is the strategic plan, according to Bill Staley, a Hendersonville, Tenn., senior and president of SGA.
The strategic plan is a document being created by many different departments within UTC, for the purpose of guiding the campus into the future, according to the Web site www.utc.edu/StrategicPlan.
"Right now each of our senators have a packet that they have to complete on the strategic plan," Staley said. "They'll be pooling any corrections they see or anything that needs to be updated in that plan back to me and I'll forward that on to the [strategic plan] committee for final reviewing."
SGA also is still working with the community and Mayor Ron Littlefield's office concerning the proposed homeless shelter, according to Staley.
"That's died down since February, but I'm still on the committee on the city-wide level and we're still in talks about the different proposals," Staley said.
Staley said SGA is also working with the bookstore to get a letter out to all professors to go ahead and let the bookstore know what books they'll need for the spring semester.
They are working on this to help with the expensive prices of some textbooks, Staley said.
"If the professor is using the same book again, the university bookstore will know [they] can buy back way more than we planned on, and that way we can sell back more used books and save students a lot of money," he said.
SGA is also working on internal matters that students outside of SGA might not see, according to Staley. Right now we are working on a constitutional review that is required every two years, Staley said.
"We are trying to create a new position for our executive board," Staley said. This new position would be a chief of staff.
"Our executive board hasn't grown, from the records that I saw, since the late 80s, early 90s," he said.
