Paul Moore, director of the Honors Program, spoke to Undergraduate Student Government at its General Assembly meeting about the CUE program. The CUE program, or Connecting Undergraduate Experience, is a general education revision being enacted because the current general education system is thought to be ineffective, Moore said. The revised program will take effect when the faculty approves it, Moore said. It will incorporate several new aspects of learning, even learning that is done outside the classroom.

Rachel Drennen, of the Center for Leadership, spoke to USG about workshops and programs which the center offers students. The center uses a program CUE will potentially utilize to keep track of students’ portfolios.

During lobby time, Kim Verhoff, the president of the Resident Student Association, introduced herself to the senate and asked they come to her with any residential problems.

Corey Tuttle, USG treasurer, gave a budget report, explaining that the stipends haven’t changed much from last year. Tuttle also explained how he would like to create and utilize a standardized budget tool for himself and future treasurers to use. The tool would be a format for treasurers to use to make the budget easier to work with.
