Women’s Affairs Commission Report
02/21/07
Hey everyone,
Sorry I can’t be there tonight! Please vote for the Resolution on the findings of the Retention and Diversity Forum tonight as well as the Resolution on naming the new dorm!
I’ll keep this short, but basically this past week consisted of Take Back the Night, further development of the possibility of a Women’s House on campus, and more work on spring quarter’s HPV Awareness Campaign. We are also still working on several CDAC initiatives.
Tomorrow the Sexual Assault Task Force Committee will convene, and Friday there will be a meeting to discuss Sexual Health Seminars. We are also looking into the university’s policies on rape.
If you had a chance to see The Vagina Monologues last week you know it was phenomenal! Sentaor Schuette deserves to be commended for her wonderful work and for providing a great opportunity to bring women’s groups together.
Enjoy the week!
End of Report.

Commissioner’s Report: February 14, 2007
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
The Vagina Monologues is tonight, tomorrow night, and Friday. Tonight's and Friday's performances will be held in Bakter Theater and Thursday's will be in Baker Ballroom. The doors open at 7:15 and the show is at 8:00. Senator Schuette has been working diligently on this for months and we are all very excited for this event. Our commission has been preparing this week for a Take Back the Night display that will be at the event all three nights.
This past week Commissioner Wemer and myself met with Dr. Judith Grant of the Women’s Studies Department to discuss the Gender/Sexuality RLC, a Queer Studies Certificate and POSSIBLY the formation of a Women's House on campus. I won’t steal Commissioner Wemer’s thunder on this one, but it was a productive and exciting meeting.
College Democrats attended our commission meeting last week, and we got some great ideas laid down for our upcoming HPV Awareness Campaign Spring Quarter.
The Sexual Health Seminar Committee met this past week and established some great goals.
The Sexual Assault Awareness Task Force will be convened next Thursday. This group, coordinated by Amanda Childress, will be working toward combating sexual assault on campus and developing some new strategies about how to handle this issue.
As always, TBTN planning is in full swing.
And finally, thank you to everyone who attended the Opening of the Women’s Center on Friday. It was a wonderful day and our commission looks forward to continuing to assist in its success!
Have a great week!!

Women’s Affairs Commissioner Report
February 7, 2007
Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a great Senate Awareness Week.
-We had another TBTN planning meeting today, which went really well. We
finalized events at this meeting and are now going to be working toward making
them a reality.
-This week the commission has been finalizing plans for the opening of the
women’s center which will be occurring on Saturday. You are all welcome to join
the festivities, which will include food, entertainment, etc. from 1:30-3:30 p.m.
-I am assisting commissioner Wemer with the Gender and Sexuality RLC and will be
working with Judith Grant and the department of Women’s Studies on their
inclusion in this project.
-I’ve received most of your information from the lighting walk, though I think
there is still one or two groups who have not turned it in, please get that to
me ASAP as I would like to compile our results within the next week.
-The sexual health seminar committee meets again this Friday, I am anxious for
this group to set some goals and would like to commend GSS Commissioner Brittany
Buxton for her resolution passed this week supporting changes to Hudson’s website.
-I received some great information from Morgan about HPV awareness from the
Women’s Caucus of the College Democrats of America and will be incorporating
this into our campaign, more on this soon.
Enjoy the week! |

Women’s Affairs Commission Report: January 30, 2007
This week Take Back the Night has again been the primary focus of my commission. Our next planning meeting is going to be on Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. in Baker. Let me know if you want to come.
Senators Cataline, Commissioner Wemer and myself finalized the questions today for the survey for the Semesters vs. Quarters committee; the committee is continuing to meet regularly and working diligently on this project.
This past week I was included on the committee to develop the Provost’s class on Women in Leadership, which discussed the format and content of this class as well as possible visiting speakers and other goals of the class.
I have also been assisting with the selection of the Assistant Director of Career Services, The Vagina Monologues, and other women’s programming on campus as well as continuing our work with future women’s health initiatives.
Finally, I want to thank all of you that were able to make it out on a freezing Sunday evening for the lighting walk. Don’t forget I want your reports of your findings submitted to either my mailbox or by e-mail by this Sunday, the 11 so that we may write a resolution reporting our findings.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Lee
