Representatives from COGS and ASMSU were at the Steering Committee meeting Tuesday afternoon to discuss their respective contributions to the Healthy Campus Initiative. ap
Emily Bank, the president of COGS, forwarded a report to the Steering Committee addressing the presentation of Dr. Greg Holzman, who spoke at both a recent COGS full council meeting and an ASMSU general assembly. ap
The COGS report included a note to “encourage a ‘movement of movement’ for faculty, TA’s,(sic) administrators and students during long meetings and classes.”ap
Representing ASMSU was Vice President for Academic Affairs Teresa Bitner and Vice President for Finance and Operations Greg Jackson, who brought a memo from ASMSU President James Conwell. ap
COGS and ASMSU both echoed a request to extend the hours of Olin Health Center, and Jackson added that the hours of the various health centers in residential neighborhoods should be extended as well. ap
“This is a university initiative and it really needs to be bought into by the university,” Jackson said.ap
Bitner brought up topics relating to the initiative about “Neighborhoods 2.0,” and the COGS memo said, “What would Neighborhoods 2.0 do to increase health services for students?” ap
“Echoing what COGS had, we were interested in what we could provide for Neighborhood 2.0,” Bitner said. ap
Holzman also spoke at the meeting and is going to present at the next university council meeting.ap
“Let’s pull it together and bring up a synergy of strength,” Holzman said.ap
