Projects Completed by the 2008 (into Winter Study and Feb. 2009) CC
* During winter study 2009, College Council brought back the snow sculpture competition. See the [[Snow Sculpture Competition]] willipedia page for more information about that competition and pictures of the entries.
* To improve communications between CC and student groups and ensure that all students groups know that CC is dedicated to supporting them, interested in advocating on their behalf and determined to address issues important to them, CC created the CC liaison program in the Spring of 2008 and continued the program in the Fall of 2008. Through this program, all CC members were assigned to be a liaison to a few large student groups. Each liaison is responsible to making contact with the groups he or she represents and determining the best way to foster good communication and effective collaboration between CC and the group the liaison is responsible for representing. Suggested methods of contact include meeting with the group’s leadership a few times a semester or attending the group’s meetings a few times a semester.
* To improve CC’s transparency and ensure that all CC members are accountable to the students they represent, CC instituted a public voting record in the Spring of 2008 and continued the voting record into the Fall of 2008. Under the old practice, the CC Secretary recorded and reported in the minutes the aggregate results of each CC vote. Now, for each official vote, the CC Secretary records how each CC individual CC representative voted. That information will be made available and distributed to the campus at the end of the full year officers’ terms (i.e. right before Spring elections).
* In the Spring and Fall of 2008, College Council worked with the Office of Campus Life and Neighborhood Governance Boards to improve the neighborhood transfer process. Aiming to increase the fairness of the process, make the process more objective, improve the chances that students are able to live with their friends, and add additional student choice to the system, CC the Office of Campus Life and the Neighborhood governance boards created a new transfer system to be implemented beginning in the Spring of 2009. The details of that proposal and new policy can be found on the [[Neighborhood Transfer Process]] page.
* In the Spring and Fall of 2008, CC worked with members of the senior staff—including the Provost, Dean of the Faculty and Dean of the College—to improve the college’s support for club sports teams, ensure that club sport coaches received fair salaries that were annually adjusted for cost of living changes, and create a formal and fair process for approving and recognizing new club sport teams. As part of this process, the senior staff and CC officially defined categories of club sports teams and outlined the support provided by the college to each category of team. See the willipedia page on [[Club Sports Policies]] for the result of this work.
