Hello Mountaineers!
I just wanted to update you on last week’s Registration and Calendar Committee meeting. The committee looked at feedback from Faculty, Staff, and Students and saw that people were almost unanimously opposed to having fall break and thanksgiving break combined into one big break as well as eliminating reading day and exam week. In the latest proposal from the committee, fall break and thanksgiving break are separate breaks like they were this past fall. Additionally, exam week and reading day will still exist. Something that is different about the 2012 and 2013 calendars is that the last day of class falls on a Friday. This means that Saturday would be Reading Day and there would be no Saturday exams the following week. The committee does not have its final recommendation yet, it is currently seeking feedback on its second proposal.
Thank you so much to everyone who sent e-mails to myself and others voicing your thoughts! Your voice was heard in this process and truly made a difference.
As always, I welcome any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions about how SGA can serve you whether it is about the University Calendar Committee or anything else. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail anytime!
Faithfully,
Jonathan Meisner
Student Body President
