Your Senate has made some progress this year on a number of issues, and lost ground on some as well. Our leadership is dependent upon your support and input, which is supplied through good communication and democratic representation. Your 3300+ votes and voices must be heard, in order to give our message to the administration the moral and ethical imperative to carry the day. Without you, our body and its work is meaningless. Without your support, we are marginalized and disenfranchised. We want to continue to serve the student body effectively and forcefully, but we can only do this with your involvement. Millenium
