Member ReportMonday, January 12, 2015

Week 1 - Spring

Ryan A. Rushing, Chief of Staff

1. Events Attended:a. Statehouse and Legislative Visit - 12-10-2014b. Fall Commencement - 12-13-2014c. Men’s Basketball vs. OSU - 12-27-2014d. Men’s Basketball vs. Detroit - 1-2-2015

2. Old Business:a. The Student Government Strategic Planning Core Committee

met over Winter Break and drafted the Values Statement, which are the items in which an organization use as a “filter” to see if something is worthy or not. There will be a progress report on the Vision, Mission, and Values statements at the regular meeting on Tuesday, January 13, 2015. I am happy to report that the Core Committee will be working with the Department of Psychology to formulate questions for a survey and focus groups where they will use their professional expertise to get the information that the committee is aiming to obtain: the positioning, effectiveness, and knowability of SG.

b. There are still vacant positions that we look to fill - Director of Disability Affairs, College of Education and Human Services Senator, Raj Soin College of Business Senator, and School of Professional Psychology Senator. Please promote these and get students to apply. There will be two students up for confirmation at the regular meeting on Tuesday, January 13, 2015 for Residential Senator and College of Engineering and Computer Science Senator.

c. A survey for a proposed fall break has been drafted and will be sent out in the next couple of weeks once it has been edited. From this survey, it will gauge the campus community (staff, faculty, and students) on whether or not a fall break is wanted.

d. The “Operation Freedom” planning committee met and discussed the location and flow of the conference.

3. New Business:a. I met with Mr. Spencer Brannon, Chair of the Ohio Student

Government Association (OSGA), per his request. Mr. Brannon discussed a couple initiatives that OSGA would like to accomplish before the end of the semester. Mr. Brannon said he would email both me and President Kyle Powell more information regarding these initiatives will I will further report once I have been sent those items.

b. I met with Mr. Matt Boaz, Director of Equity and Inclusion, and Ms. Kristie Marcum, Assistant Director of Equity and Inclusion, on how to make Student Government more diverse. Both Mr. Boaz and Ms. Marcum spoke on the importance of going to the community in which you wish to see in your organization. It is suggested to not assume candidates will come to you and apply, you (the organization) must go to them. Also, the manner in which recruitment materials are presented and worded are important to make them “pop”. It is my goal to work with the Office of Equity and Inclusion on recruitment materials and other items to better diversify SG membership.

4. Outreach:a. With the winter months upon us, students are obviously upset

with the closure and opening policy for inclement weather. A concern that I believe is valid is the ability for students to safety walk on campus when conditions are icy and the manner in which the university salts and cleans sidewalks, walk paths, roads, and parking lots is something that I think should be reviewed to better provide safety for students during the winter months.

4) Outreach5) Concerns

a. Students in the Medical Field complain about not being fully prepared in the physics courses for the MCAT. A suggestion was made to have a single semester class (instead of the current academic year class) that specifically covers material that is pertinent to the newest edition of the

MCAT. If you need more info, I will get you in-touch with the originator of this idea if he/she wants to speak about it.

b. The Moat has raised a lot of controversy, and students seem to like the tradition that it has instilled, but the university realizes the potential for the space aesthetically. A majority of the students I’ve spoken with are juniors and seniors and wish the moat to stay, but I believe it serves little purpose and should suit better as an overhang space for more tables and an open view of the quad as the younger students I have spoken with have said.

c. Students have heard about the plans for BACON, but have yet to see any construction or relocation occur. They look forward to an amphitheatre.

d. A group of students have commented that the light pole near the Alumni Bell Tower does not illuminate the surrounding area quite as well as they would please for they feared the possibility of malice occurring and would like to see the light bulb changed.

e. Dayton campus students are not allowed to get into the Lake campus Rec Center.

SG ReportDate: 1/9/15Name, SG Position: Max McConnell, Director of Communications and Marketing

1. Old Business: a. Made major updates to the SG website w/Kyle Powell. We

created an “elections” tab to be used during any SG election period. The page contains elections rules, forms to fill out, candidate lists, FAQ’s, and other materials. ALL available minutes, agendas, and resolutions have been uploaded and are available to the public.

b. Photoshop Training. I created a four-hour length lesson plan that covers the basic operations of Adobe Photoshop, and presented the lesson so several members of SG. This was done in an effort to enhance the marketable skills of SG members while also giving SG members the tools to make “rough-draft” images that I can polish for them.

c. Transition Binders: I completed the assigned transition binder assignment

d. Worked with Sprout Social, though on a minimal level of engagement. Sprout Social is the new social media management program adopted by WSU.

e. Five Year Strategic Plan: Worked with the Committee to finalize SG’s new Mission, Vision, and Values statements. Worked w/ Matt Almazan to create a powerpoint to present to SG on 1/13/15.

2. New Business:a. I will be continuing to work with The Faculty IT committee

(scale-up classrooms), the SG Scholarship Benefit Committee (banquet planning), and the SG Internal Affairs Committee (various)

b. I will be working with the Vice President to begin a weekly social media effort. The SG Senators will each, hopefully, submit 2-3 tweets each week to be filtered into Sprout Social. This will help ensure that our social media presence is both pertinent and representative of the entire campus.

c. I will be working on several communication request forms that came to me during the winter break (Foursquare tourney, HoR Banner, Elections Ad Rack, Salsa Samba Night.

3. Associate’s Report (if applicable): Not Submitted4. Administrative Office Report:

SG Report1/13/14Ian Kallay, Associate of Athletics

1. Events Attended:a. I have not attended any events over winter break. However, I

have followed every game via mobile applications and ESPN. b. OSU Game – Many attended.. Rough lossc. Women’s BB Vs. Green Bay – First conference game.. Tough loss

2. Old Business: a. Our teams are doing excellent this year. Two sports (basketball

and swimming) are in season. The swim teams have excellent chances of winning conference; as do the basketball teams. I have not conducted much actual business over the holidays, but I am excited to get down to business.

3. New Business:a. Upcoming Events:

i. SG is planning to have a “Student Government Night” at one of the upcoming basketball games. More details to come…

b. Swimming: i. Saturday, 1/24 vs. Cleveland State (7:00 pm)

c. WBB: i. Saturday 1/24 vs. Cleveland State (2:00 pm)

d. MBB : i. Wednesday 1/14 vs. Cleveland State (7:00 pm) WEAR

BLUEii. Saturday 1/17 vs. Valpo (7:00 pm)

4. Administrative Office Report: a. There is currently no information to offer from the athletic

office. I have meetings planned with Joylynn Brown and Marc G of marketing this week. I will be able to give a further update once I have those meetings.

5. Outreach (if applicable):a. I have begun to question students on why they attend games

(basketball primarily). I have discovered that those who attend games are truly passionate about Wright State. Very rarely will

someone attend a game because they have nothing better to do. In order to increase attendance, we need to increase “Raider Pride.” And in order to increase “Raider Pride,” we need to increase attendance.

b. Social media is an excellent tool for picking up concerns about Wright State athletics. Aside from the loss to Ohio State, people have been passionate about our hopes to win the horizon league and make the NCAA tournament. I have rising concerns that doubts will arise as Green Bay and Valpo rise in the ranks.
