• ○If a concern does not yet have a solution, SGA will be transparent about ongoing efforts.

Regents praised SGA’s robust agenda and thoughtful approach. In discussion, Regent Childs and Regents explored avenues to:

• ●Connect the community service committee with development and alumni initiatives.
• ●Coordinate trunk-or-treat and other community events (e.g., October 28 in the Alumni Stadium parking lot).
• ●Align tutoring and mentoring with early alerts and academic support strategies, while respecting student privacy and avoiding stigmatization.
