The formal convenor plans and organizes the two biggest social events of the artsci year: semi-formal and formal. These events are held in November and March, and give people in all years a well-deserved chance to get dressed-up (in theme, or otherwise), get together, and have fun. The formal convenor and formal committee work all year to make sure that these two nights are enjoyed by all (and remembered by most)!

I'm an educated fool with money on my mind,
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye.
I'm a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger
And my homies are down so don't arouse my anger, fool

If you think a secretary only writes, well think again. The SASS secretary is not only responsible for the SASS exec minutes, but also keeps the fridge stocked with oh so tasty pop. Mmm. Pop.

SRA Representative
elected officer with voting rights; position created in 1985
|
|
|
|
The Student Representative Assembly (SRA) is the governing body for the McMaster Students Union (MSU). Each academic division is allocated some of the 35 Assembly members on the basis of their size; basic arithmetic has fated the job of the Arts & Science rep to be a lonely one. The SRA meets biweekly, and has extensive decision-making power as to how the MSU and its various services operate. It occasionally makes good decisions.

The 2010 SRA Ex-Officio is Jeffrey Wyngaarden
Jeffar. Like from Aladdin, minus the creepy goatee (sometimes). Still
rockin the headgear and magical powers. No current plans for usurping
the sultan's throne.

Senate Observer
elected councillor with voting rights; position created in 1983
|
|
|
|
The Senate Observer is your voice on the University Senate, and represents the views of Artscis to administrators and
fellow students. As our programme isn't granted faculty status by The McMaster University Act, 1976, we consequently don't receive a voting member. Feel free to write Dalton at premier@gov.on.ca on this matter.

The 2010 Senate Observer is Meagan McEwen
Meagan is fond of many activities involving spandex, including cycling, running, rowing, and ski racing. Some of her favourite things are reading about obscure medical conditions, viticulture, doing the crossword, and very large drooly dogs. A small-town girl at heart, Meagan hopes to live on a self-sustainable hobby farm once she graduates to be able to further explore her passions for local food, tractors, and interesting critters.

I hate writing blurbs. I detest writing blurbs. I abhor writing blurbs. I despise writing blurbs. I loath writing blurbs. I cannot stand writing blurbs. I recoil from writing blurbs. But I am mostly a positive person (when I am not being negative).

The 2010 Senior Student Programme Advisor is Olivia Lee
Olivia hails from the mythical lands of the T to the O. She enjoys etymology, the word floccinaucinihilipilification and pi. When she's not scurrying around campus, she can be found in C105, musing about avocados. A devout practicer of proper grammar, Olivia is often heard mumbling in English, French or Latin (sometimes all in one Latinglais sentence). She really likes Latin. Si hunc legere potes, linguam Latinae nimis scis.

Sits on the Arts & Science Admissions Committee where the particulars of the admission process are hammered out (i.e. the Freemasonesque process by which upper years convene and pluck future world leaders and/or bongo drummers from the tedium of high school.)
