SGA encourages Baltimore-themed freshman seminars
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers an SGA meeting about first-year seminars and COVID-19 safety.
- According to the article, the Sept. 22 meeting included discussion of the undergraduate academic experience and COVID-19 safety, while Mudrak introduced a resolution recommending more optional first-year seminars linked to Baltimore; the resolution passed.
- The paper reported that Mudrak said, “There’s a pretty strong sentiment that our education about the affairs of the city, generally speaking, is lacking,” about students’ education on Baltimore.
- The article adds that a student compact promoted health measures including face coverings, social distancing, symptom monitoring and discouraging discrimination; Mollin said it was meant to be “from students, for students.”
- The reporter writes that SGA members considered promoting the compact, but no formal resolution was voted on.
- The News-Letter reported that the meeting included confirmation of six Student Activity Committee officers, with the committee serving as the SGA’s funding board.
