BI-WEEKLY NEWSLETTER BYVice President of Communications Corey Boone
Fellow Yellow Jackets,
This week, your SGA took the opportunity to showcase Georgia Tech to our state leaders. Nearly 50 Yellow Jackets met with Senators and Representatives from around the state to reaffirm the state’s commitment to higher education and Georgia Tech. Included in this delegation were members from SGA’s Executive Cabinet, Undergraduate House of Representatives, and Yellow Jackets from nearly every walk of life. To culminate the day, the Georgia State Senate passed a resolution acknowledging Georgia Tech and its students for contributions to the state, nation, and world. To view a copy of the resolution, please visit: http://www.legis.ga.gov/legis/2009_10/fulltext/sr894.htm.
Below are some updates on how we are working for you. For more dynamic updates on what we are doing, feel free to join our Facebook Fanpage or follow us on Twitter (@gtsga)!
Campus Affairs Board
Campus Services: At the UNC vs. GT game, this Tuesday, students will be able to use funds on their Buzzcard to purchase items from concessions. This
is a "proof of concept" test to see if it is worth it for the AA to have Buzzcard scanners at Bobby Dodd for football in the fall. If you'd like to be able to use your Buzzcard to purchase drinks and food during football season this fall, make sure that you load up your Buzzcards at https://buzzcard.blackboard.com/ and buy plenty of food and drinks at the UNC game on Tuesday!
