Senate Speaks

Well it has been awhile, but here is what Student Senate is currently up to. We have been working on getting the "Adopt an Angel" program started. "Adopt an Angel" is a program that Senate has been sponsoring along with the Learning Services for the past couple of years. The program benefits under-privileged children from Lancaster by providing them with holiday presents. Etown students simply pick a name off the angel tree, purchase a present, and return the wrapped present to the tree. Then senators, along with Shirley Deichert and Diane De Arment from the Learning Services, will drop off the presents to children.

Each of the individual classes has been busy too. The senior class continued to support Etown athletics and sold their famous bright orange Messiah shirts. They also recently finished selling holiday candles. The seniors are also talking about 2003 hours and minutes along with other graduation related topics and events.

The junior class has been working hard planning this year’s Junior-Senior Formal to take place March 22. Look for more details about the Junior-Senior Formal at the start of the spring semester. Also come out and support the junior class at their annual Turkey Triathalon on Nov. 26.

The sophomore class successfully hosted the first Halloween Star Gazing event on campus. They are now selling "Cups of Cheer," cups filled with hot chocolate and candy canes that will be delivered the Sunday before finals week.
