Last night marked the beginnings of new leadership in the Student Assembly as next year's president and vice president Jorge Miranda '01 and Chance Hill '01 got their first chance to run an Assembly meeting.
The meeting served as an organizational start for structuring the composition of next year's Assembly, as members of the Membership and Internal Affairs Committee were nominated and elected.
Those elected to the committee included Erica Berman '03, Andrew Sonnenborn '02, Dan Pollock '01 and Melissa Heaton '02.
According to Hill, the committee takes on a special role within the Assembly because it is the only one that is elected and is responsible for appointing Assembly representatives to other committees. The committee is composed of four people and the vice president, who automatically serves as the chairperson.
Miranda said he was excited about the mix of people at the meeting, and what it means for next year's Assembly.
"There's a bunch of new people, a lot of old faces -- it's a good combination," he said.
Also during the meeting, Miranda passed out both index cards for people's suggestions and an informational sheet that proposed possible changes to the roles of each college committee.
A second and final organizational meeting will take place next Monday, during which time committee chairs will be nominated and appointed for next year's Assembly.
