SGA session includes discussions of survey, engagement
A question about what restaurant should be included at Central Eats was on the table at the Nov. 7 meeting of the Student Government Association.
Rafael Gaza, a Central Eats team leader, spoke about the Central Eats survey about Tu Taco, a restaurant in the food court. The original idea of Central Eats was to rotate restaurants but there has been no communication from dining services, Garza said.
Garza encourages all students to take this survey to get opinions on the restaurant.

Vice president Natalie Brant encouraged all audience members to vote Nov 8.
“It’s your civic engagement and duty to vote,” Brant said.
During the house meeting, Brant talked about the protocols house members must maintain in order for their RSOs to be in good standing with SGA. Those protocols include maintaining attendance and only having four unexcused absences and being involved and engaged during the meetings.
House members then did a legislation voting simulation to practice debating and voting on legislation, for when real legislation is being voted on house members will know what to do.
