This past Wednesday (Sept. 16, 2009), the Students’ Association hosted its first ever Fireside Chat —an informal, open-forum event for students to voice their concerns and to ask questions about the various issues facing students on campus. Thank you to all who came and for filling up every seat!

The Fireside Chat opened with introductions, a description of how the event would run, and a brief overview of what the Students’ Association has been working on. Only a few minutes in, the conversation began as students started to voice concerns over a number of issues, from major advising to alcohol policy to omelettes in Hillside.

The meeting was recorded and the minutes will be posted as soon as they have been prepared. We promise to look into every issue that was raised and to work to address every concern that was voiced.

Don’t forget that you can always leave feedback through this site, or by emailing Eric Weissmann, the Students’ Association President at sapres@mail.rochester.edu

If you did attend the Fireside Chat, we would love to hear your thoughts on how we could improve this event!
