Chief Executive Reports
Vice President Douglas Malcolm, ’26, reported he met with the Athletics department to determine how ASG can coordinate assistance with the department’s Toys for Tots fundraiser. Additionally, Malcolm reported a meeting with Allegheny President Ron Cole, ’87, and ASG president Chezka Quinola, ’27. Malcolm relayed to the GA that Cole expressed positive views of ASG so far this year.
Quinola reported that ASG started a survey, named “Why Allegheny,” to study retention rates and learn about why students decide to stay at the college. Quinola said posters will soon be put up around campus. She hoped the data could potentially be presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration in future decisions.
There will be no GA next week due to Thanksgiving Break. ASG’s next GA will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 2, in room 301/302 of the Henderson Campus Center.
