The 1999-2000 Board of Governance held their last official meeting on Tuesday, and handled a variety of small issues.
At next week's meeting, both this year's and next year's boards will be in attendance to turn over duties and privileges.
The Board voted on co-sponsoring Sister Linda Kors in the Spes Unica Resource Center (SURV) office by donating $500 to subsidize the cost of lending campus vehicles for service projects. The Board approved the funds with two abstentions.
"Saint Mary's has a great tradition of students volunteering in the community and doing hands-on work," said Molly Kahn, missions commissioner. "Unfortunately, not every student has a car."
Rose Lutzka, president of Residence Hall Association said the position for National Communication Coordinator will be open for next year. The current coordinator will be going to Ireland and will need a replacement. The coordinator handles all conferences the Association attends and communicates with other schools nationwide.
The nursing department will be hosting a health fair on March 30 from 2-7 p.m., said Student Activities coordinator Angie Little. The fair will include nutrition information and massage therapy, along with information about other health related issues.
"There are going to be some amazing things there," Little said. "The fair should be packed."
Senior class president Anne Pangilinan explained that the senior class is deciding on how best to remember Kristi Morris at graduation. Morris died in a car accident on March 12. Class members will be consulted, along with the Morris family, she said. She also announced that plans for senior week are well underway.
