Following the reading
and approval of the min

ber gave updates on the
organizations they chair.
One major topic of dis
cussion is the Centennial
of SGA, which celebrates
the 100th year of the
association. The group
would like to compile a
list of past SGA presi
dents and members for
historical records.
Online voting was
on the agenda as a dis
cussion in old business.
The campus technology
committee is expected to
make a formal decision
next week.
The discussion of
new business included
an update from Jasmine
Rose on the Vision
2K10 project, of which
Dr. Maureen Hartford
is Chair. Rose dis
cussed the vision for the
Meredith Community in
the year 2010. Rose said
that so far, the ideas that
the group has are from
discussions held during
the '03-'04 school year.
Currently, the commit
tee is gathering groups
of faculty and staff to
hear their input on the
project.
Eventually, according
to Rose, the idea is for
everyone who is a part of
the Meredith Community
to voice ideas and
visions for the future of
the college. As of yet,
the group has not sought
student input. Rose said,
however, that the visions
of students are important
to the project and will be
the focus of discussions
this semester.
The last item on
the agenda was important
announcements, which
included the Open Day
for high school seniors
that was held Sept. 17
at 8:15 a.m.'in Johnson
Hall; Family Day which
is held on Saturday Sept.
25; and the upcom
ing events with Anne
