Student Government recently held its second meeting of the spring 2023 semester, covering a club recognition, fund request and a constitution change.
To begin, Morgan’s Message returned for Week 2 of 2 to be recognized as a club by the council. Morgan’s Message strives to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health within the student-athlete community and offer outlets and solutions for help. According to the corporation, only 10 pecent of student-athletes seek professional help.
The club plans to hold dedication games along with watch parties and also hopes to have ambassadors among the collegiate teams on campus to offer a stronger impact. Currently, there is no club or organization like it at Wilkes and 39 students have already joined. A motion was made to vote and the vote passed, recognizing the club.
Next, a fund request was voted on for Club Day 2.0 which happened on Jan. 26 during club hours in the MAC.
For the 55 clubs that signed up for the event, the total request was $3,400, which was approved in full by the council.
Finally, RHC presented on constitution changes. The group is changing the RA fund request so that RA’s are able to fund events that they have. They also added a hierarchy system as follows: president, vice president, treasurer, recording secretary, corresponding secretary, parliamentarian and RHC advisor.
RHC will attend next week’s meeting where the council will vote on the changes.
Student Government will meet again on Feb. 1.
