Office of the President

As the Students' Association's Executive Branch, the President and Vice President are the official representatives of the SA and act as advocates for the student body. The President and Vice President are responsible for the implementation and execution of all legislation passed by the Senate. They work with the Senate and committees to ensure student government success. Additionally, in their capacity as "the faces" of student government, the President and Vice President meet frequently with deans, faculty and other administrators on a regular basis in order to improve the quality of student services. Many SA Presidents choose to have a Cabinet of non-elected Executive Aides and Committee Aides who work with Senators in the various committees.

The current Students' Association President, Eric Weissmann, and Vice President, Brittany Crowley have several primary goals for their Administration; above all, they will emphasize students' connection to their student government. Eric and Brittany plan to communicate to the student body important Students' Association matters via Rocky's Report and SA Press Releases. They will also host monthly Fireside Chats for students to express thoughts about issues concerning the student body. Furthermore, they will implement systems for student government and environmental sustainability as well as enhance student life through school spirit events and connections with Eastman.

The Communications & Public Relations Committee has been hard at work ensuring that the Students' Association's work is publicized to the undergraduate student body. One of the methods now employed by the SA is Rocky's Report: a monthly e-newsletter sent out by the SA President, Eric Weissmann, to students that breaks down the SA's work by committee and branch.

I encourage ALL of you to read Rocky's Report and give us your feedback! The more comments we get from you, the better the SA can cater to your needs!

View the November issue of Rocky's Report via the SA website or via your Rochester email, and take the time to read and address what you feel should change on campus!

The Experience Eastman program has an exciting new addition...the first SAAC e-Form. Student organizations can now apply for Supplemental Funds through this new Experience Eastman e-Form. Groups may use an Experience Eastman program to suffice the 'Eastman Interraction' question on their Midyear Report. Read more...

Experience Eastman Supplemental Form

This program, launched in 2009, is an effort to more closely integrate the University of Rochester River Campus and the Eastman School of Music. The theory behind this program relies on the idea that the two campuses may be diverse and geographically separated, but nevertheless, they belong to a University of One.

Please contact Ben Pollack at ben.pollack@rochester.edu with any questions or contact information for student leaders at the Eastman School of Music.

Eastman and River Campus SA Leaders with Dean Paul Burgett

River Campus and Eastman SA Leaders pose for a photo with Vice President Dean Paul Burgett after an effective brainstorming session aimed at better connecting the two campuses.

Last week, a group of Student Government leaders from the River Campus and the Eastman School of Music met for dinner to broadly discuss strategies for connecting our campuses.  Many River Campus students are interested in getting more involved at Eastman, and many Eastman students are interested in spending more time on the River Campus.

The dinner was hosted by Vice President Dean Paul Burgett, who offered great insight on the history of the campuses and offered suggestions to bring them together.  Also in attendance were Anne-Marie Algier, Associate Dean of Students and Director of Wilson Commons Student Activities on the River Campus as well as Jason Smith, Assistant Dean for Student Life at Eastman.  Both offered valuable suggestions as we work toward this shared goal.

A wide range of ideas came out of this meeting, and the leaders of both campuses are looking forward to continuing to meet.  Look out for programs and events this year that bring Eastman students and River Campus students together!  For more information on what we are already working on, check out the Experience Eastman page.

Thanks to everyone who came out to show their support!  Let's keep the enthusiasm coming!
