Advisor Announcements 

• Maritza: Thanks for helping out with the homecoming dance/football game volunteering. We were able to support the basketball fundraiser and football team. DASG was able to contribute $200 as we gave out concessions. Tomorrow there’s a planned cleanup during the senate meeting (4-6pm+) (senators are highly recommended to volunteer). Do real cleanup, nothing on the floor. Joint community effort to get it cleaned. Do better in maintaining with the clean in the future. Pizza will be distributed for those volunteering for the cleanup.
