Caf Fast, Senoir Campaign discussed in senate

Another thrilling session of Student Senate occurred on Tuesday, 13 Nov 2007. Some of the highlights include:
  • A presentation by Matt Fedde from Partners in Annual Giving. Fedde is looking for nominations for the Senior Campaign. If you know someone who would be good for this committee, please contact him with your nomination. Anyone can nominate a senior for the committee. The Senior Campaign is a great way for the Senior Class to show their support for St. Olaf, and having a high participation rate helps St. Olaf’s ranking in various annual reports.
  • Voting on CAF Fast proposals. The Senate is in charge of choosing what organization gets to organize the CAF Fast each semester. Thursday Night Bible study was the only application we received. They will be organizing the CAF Fast in the next few weeks as a fundraiser for their Spring Break Mission Trip to Nicaragua.
  • A report from the Multicultural Sub-Committee. The sub-committee wants to find ways to increase attendance at multi-cultural events. These events are always fun and interesting. If you have a chance to go to one, do it! You will not regret it!

  • Student Alumni Association is hosting a “Kitchen Skillz” Session on Saturday from 2-4 with Bon Apetit’s own Peter! There are only 20 spots! Sign up by emailing kitchen-skillz@stolaf.edu.
