Dear Wellesley,
I have a number of things to update you on this week! There’s quite a bit going on, so I’ll provide everything in list form.
1.The CG Blog is live! Please visit it at https://blogs.wellesley.edu/collegegovernment/
2. LTS has created a script that will load all student events from Live25 into a Google calendar, which you will be able to subscribe to or view. We are still working out how to make this as user friendly as possible, such as making separate calendars for different events, having some Live25 events not show up and allowing users to add attachments to the calendar items. I will keep you updated about the status of this tool.
3. Along those lines- Lindsay Barnes, as MAC, has created a Multicultural Calendar, a google calendar that you can subscribe to. If you want an event added you may reach out to her about adding that event to the calendar by emailing mac@wellesley.edu. .
4. College Government has a new spam policy tailored for Google and Sakai which you should be seeing around soon. As the student events calendar develops and is implemented, some things will change such as eliminating gratuitous spam to Community and implementing the same model that is used for other groups—writing a brief explanation at the top of the spam as to why that event is of interest to the community.
5. CG Cabinet members and some senators will be attending a conference at Mt. Holyoke this weekend to meet with representatives with the other Seven Sisters schools and to discuss issues facing student governments, specifically at women’s institutions. If you have any specific questions you want me to ask while meeting with these other representatives, email me at cgpresident@wellesley and I will ask for you!
Sincerely,
Kirstin
CG President
