The 2009/2010 Student Senate commits to encouraging and supporting the Redeemer community through a constant two-way stream of effective communication.
In order to aid communication, Student Senate has combined the Student Affairs Committee and the Communications Committee. They were combined so that we could more effectively identify and communicate about student opinions on issues being discussed by administration to the administration. We have also appointed non-Senate students to the Student Affairs Committee in order to have a larger opinion base.
Student Senate has also submitted the first faculty evaluations and we look forward to a second stream. These forms allow students to voice their opinions on the performance of their professors and the Academic Senate considers these evaluations as a part of each professor’s academic review. Each professor comes up for review every four years. The evaluation forms students receive in each class at the end of the semester are also considered in the academic review process.
We approved our budget for the 2009/2010 year at the end of September and would like to welcome several new clubs to Redeemer, as well as congratulate the many reoccurring clubs that Student Senate supports each year. We have posted a record of the full budget on the Student Senate bulletin board located just outside of Williams Café.
SASC, Spiritual Activities and Services Committee, is prayerfully considering the spiritual needs of Redeemer student. Knowing how fast Redeemer life can move, we hope something like reading through the New Testament in the academic year will remind us to slow down and take time in the Word.
Both SASC and Activities this year are looking to plan events that appeal to each individual on campus. It is important to Student Senate that all the students feel they are a part of the community and can contribute to it.
Finally, Student Senate hopes to see Redeemer University College unified as a witness to the community of Ancaster and Hamilton through our love for one another and our community. We are excited to see what God will do through Redeemer Students in our direct community, as well as in Ancaster, Hamilton, and throughout Ontario.
