Student Senate is the government organization on campus representing the students of Buena Vista University. In order to more actively publicize their accomplishments, The Tack is beginning a section under News specific to Student Senate.

During tonight’s meeting on February 4, 2016, the group of students discussed partnering with Team Wellness for the upcoming ACES event. The event is two separate ACES events: “Together We Can” and “Man Up?” Both events are on Thursday, February 11 and in Schaller Chapel. “Together We Can” is at 11am and “Man Up?” is at 7pm.
The first event is about sexual violence, gender, and responsibility. The second is about masculinity and popular culture. The speaker on these topics is Jeffrey Bucholtz.

In other news, Student Senate has appointed Jacob Braddock as the new Interim Vice President and Brandy Fowler as the Interim Treasurer. They also have open positions for general members. If you’re interested in applying, contact Emily Leighton at [email protected].
