The Dartmouth Action Network has named its Executive Student Committee which will coordinate its on-campus recruiting efforts toward its larger goal of increasing the Dartmouth community voice in College decision-making.
Action Network co-founder Steven Sugarman '97 said he hopes the student committee and other student workers, who will be named this week, will be able to solicit the "active support of the majority of students on campus."
The committee members are Coed Fraternity Sorority Council President Jaimie Paul '00, Assembly President-elect Dean Krishna '01, former CFSC President John Muckle '99, Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity President Thad Glowacki '00, Dartmouth Asian Organization President Rick Su '01, 2000 Class Council Vice-President Zoe McLaren, Tim Danford '01, Meg Smoot '01, and Shelley de Alth '02.
The Action Network, recently founded by alumni Sugarman and Richard Yeh '97 and current student David Hawkins '99, all members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, hopes to "make the Trustees accountable to the opinions of the greater Dartmouth community."
While not a single-issue organization, the Action Network will focus its initial work on opposing the Trustees' Social and Residential Life Initiative.
Sugarman told The Dartmouth the group sought to balance the Student Executive Committee between Greek-affiliated students and unaffiliated students, but 66 percent of the committee members belong to a Greek house.
