Projects for the future in SGA
By Florian Peyssonneaux

The student government association gathered
on Wednesday, Feb. 22 in MG 232 for its last
meeting before Spring Break. Flalfway through
the semester it was time see what could be done
for the rest of the semester and for next Fall.
Despite the low turnout of club representatives
to the reunion, many projects were discussed.
The main project that was debated during the
meeting was about a composting machine for
the campus next year. The very high cost of this
project is going to require funds from the SGA,
and the leftover of the other club’s budgets at
the end of the semester if they haven’t spent
their money.
In order to accomplish this project, Lauren
Fowler, SGA president is going to open an ac
count that has the goal to save money for this
task. This project proposal goes along the past
initiatives made by the SGA like the solar panels
and the electric car chargers.
This project of composting for the Myers
dining hall, would help to reduce the waste
produced on campus, and at the same time help
Brevard College to be more eco friendly, and
try fully relying on clean energy by 2030. The
compost that would be created will also serve
for the future greenhouse that is going to be
built on campus.
In addition, BC student Sam Munson proposed
to create a committee that was then approved to
install a public bike station with a pump outside
the coffee house.
The committee’s plan would serve both Bre
vard College students and members of the com
munity that have a bike. When asked about the
timeline of the project, Munson said, “I would
hope that the bike station would be built by the
end of the semester.”
Both projects are going to be important invest
ments if they come to realization. An estimated
cost of $10,000 for the composting machine
and from $300 to $1,000 depends on the level
of the bike station.
Finally, for the upcoming events this semester,
the Earthfest and Grassical are now one event.
This will both take place from April 17 to 22.
The Kids Go Fest will also take place during
the same week.
All those events are going to bring a lot of
people on campus for the end of the semester.
According to the past years venues, around 700
people are expected to come to the college and
take part in the activities organized on campus.
As a consequence, a lot of planning will have
to be done.
