Dear President Pollack,

I would like to convey Resolution 3: Approving the Student Assembly Budget to you, along with Appendix A for reference.

This resolution approves the Student Assembly budget as outlined in Appendix A, crafted by our Vice President of Finance, Gabriel D. Kaufman.

Thank you for your time and please let me know if there are any questions.

Dear President Pollack,

It is my pleasure to convey Resolution 5: Approval of the Fall 2017 Elections Rules to you, along with the Elections Rules itself. 

The Elections Rules link makes clear which changes were made. Most changes had to do with clarifying language of the document.

Best,

Jung Won Kim
