This month, I met with the students of the Country Roads program to let them know about SGA, hear about their WVU experience, and ensure that they were aware of SGA as a resource to share their views as students. I also met with the directors of the program, Dr. Dan Long and Dr. Lesley Cotrell to discuss accessibility and inclusion on campus and how WVU students can be better peer advocates for other students with disabilities. We also discussed education and awareness campaigns for the Spring as well as SGA support of faculty senate legislation which would require WVU professors to expand access to accessible materials in the classroom. This month, College Senator Backus and I also met with our dean, discussing filling CEHS College Senator positions for next year, engagement with state educational policy, and student involvement.
