One of Rob Hayden’s goals for Student Senate was to do more.

While Hayden, the Student Body President, said at Senate’s Tuesday meeting that he felt the senators had done a great job becoming more open and welcoming to students, next semester is “the time to take the action that needs to be taken.”

Hayden said this means getting involved and writing more legislation.

A look back at the semester

Senators granted chartered status to four organizations: LULAC, Women’s Lacrosse, Club Tennis and Baseball Club.

Senators granted probationary status to five organizations: American Society of Civil Engineers, Hip-Hop Dance Club, Institute of Transportation Engineers, PRSSA and TREAT.

Senators revoked the charters of eight organizations: Ethics Team, Robotics Club, Campus Conservatives, Cox Entrepreneur, Chess Club, Eta Kappa Nu, Chinese Club and Hindu Student Organization.
