    Dear President Rawlings,

    I would like to convey Resolution 59: Increasing Sustainability and Comfort in Residential Dormitories to you.

    This resolution is sponsored by Conor Hodge and Matthew Battaglia.

    This resolution seeks to increase student comfort in residential halls and reduce carbon emissions by allowing individual students additional control over the heating/cooling in their room. The ability to adjust temperature in individual rooms will be more comfortable for students and sustainable for the university. The sponsors would like to explore changing the temperature bind with the Office of Student and Campus Life and Campus Life Facilities. The sponsors also hope to have an update on the feasibility of such a change by the first Student Assembly meeting in Spring Semester 2017.

    Thank you for the time and consideration.

    Kind regards,
    Juliana
