Attention Students
 UMDNJ Student Senate

This past August, the student leaders from all eight UMDNJ schools came together in New Brunswick for the first full meeting of the UMDNJ Student Senate.  The Student Senate was put together over the past year to advocate key student issues at the level of central administration and to foster a sense of collaboration and unity on multiple levels within students across the university. 
 
At its first meeting, the Senate passed Senate Resolution SA09-04 urging UMDNJ's Board of Trustees to approve construction of a gym facility on the Newark campus at its next meeting.  In the coming year, we hope to initiate direct dialog with the highest echelons of university administration including President, Provost and Board of Trustees on issues ranging from tuition to financial aid to student life (and everything else listed below).  We also hope to assist in the expansion of service projects statewide through multidisciplinary collaboration.  We urge you to join our cause.
 
A little background info -- the Senate consists of four committees: University Affairs, Academic Affairs, Legislative Affairs and Community Service.  Each committee has a number of subcommittees and initiatives, listed below.  All of them need your activism, service and leadership.
 
If you'd like to join an initiative or help lead it, please email the relevant committee chairs or email us.

PLEASE NOTE: The SSB Fire Emergency Evacuation Procedures have been revised. Until further notice, ALL OCCUPANTS (floors Basement through 15) will be required to evacuate during all fire alarms. A procedure for persons with disabilities has been established and is outlined in the attached factsheet.

During a fire watch, it is important that all occupants be vigilant about fire hazards.
