During this meeting, the Student Welfare Committee shared some recent survey data on SMCC students: There are fewer students on campus this year but more students enrolled in online classes. The public-relations secretary explained that Senate is going to be emailing club representatives monthly to get updates from them to add to the CeSIL updates. Also, the Cosplay Club was granted their money request for their trip to Boston in the spring.

The Student Senate next met on Nov. 1. One major topic of discussion was a proposed amendment to  the Student Senate financial guidelines. The amendment reads, “An organization’s advisor is exempt from paying to participate in their organization’s events and activities.” This proposed amendment was passed. Also during this meeting, the Student Welfare Committee explained that they will be proposing to establish dog-waste stations near dorms, and Beacon Media (not associated with the Beacon newspaper) was granted their money request to be able to hire a website designer.
