Student Association President Nicole Capp joined the news team last Tuesday afternoon to update GW about the progress of the organization. Capp spoke about the newfound advocacy of the Student Association, as well as events around campus.
Capp shed light on the recent controversy regarding the GW FEED program and the legislation that she vetoed that would fund the program because some rules may have been circumvented. Capp emphasized the need to maintain the SA rules for passing legislation even in extenuating circumstances.
The new SA President also talked about the upcoming Colonial Invasions, the pep event that traditionally introduces the GW Basketball season. The event was cancelled last year due to nearly $900,000 in budget cuts to the student and academic support services, according to the Hatchet. During the show, Capp also announced that the special musical guest will be New York rapper, Fabolous.
The SA Senate is currently experiencing a rebuilding period, following the resignation of senators Nina Perdad and Richard Fowler. Eight seats are currently up for grabs.
To fill the vacancies, the SA rules committee will consider applications and nominate one applicant for each seat. The nominees will then be voted on by the entire senate.
