10.12.2010 Meeting Notes

Angie Mullen and Crystal from student health services came to talk about a proposed tobacco ban on campus. They are currently working with the American Lung Association to get our campus smoke and tobacco free. There are already 21 campuses that are smoke and tobacco free and currently 37 that are in the process of the tobacco ban. They are looking for our help in several different areas; emailing our senators to support a tobacco free campus. They also would like our help in November for the Great American Campus. They would also like our help with getting support for their picture policy book. If anyone would like to submit their picture and a story of why they would like a smoke and tobacco free campus, please contact angela.mullen@mnsu.edu OR one of the ESG officers. (They will use these pictures/statements to show the student senate of the support they have on campus)

We also talked about promoting our informative meeting on October 26th. We are requesting that you speak to all of your health classes about joining ESG; please contact Susan if you are able to do so, and include the Class title, section number, and time; additionally, contact Susan if you would like ESG info meeting business cards to pass out to students (or if you run out and need extras!)

We still need people to sign up for the Major fair on October 20th 11am to 1:30pm and Rake The Town on October 30th 9am-noon. Please let Susan know ASAP if you plan to be involved.

Finally, we have volunteer opportunities available through the YMCA called Girls on the Run, and a Turkey 5k Fun Run in November. Please contact one of the ESG officers for more information.
