Secretary sends a reminder to deans who have not submitted Senator names to do so
(but this year I should do it, because I’m the one who has been meeting with the deans
and bugging them already so I’m more than just a name on an e-mail. I’m an annoying
presence.) For the College of Arts and Sciences, contact Annis Golden (Vice-chair, CAS

Final GOV meeting of the year (if necessary)
1 I managed to write April 1st in the e-mail, but technically it should be 3/28. Let’s go with the later date, and if
someone gets upset about it, I’ll wear the black hat.
2 By the way, this year we don’t have to conduct the UAS elections because they don’t have a need for it. Next year,
we should check with them again.
