Hello Gators!
My name is Cory Yeffet and I am the President of Student Senate here at the University of Florida. I’m excited to share with you all some updates from the legislative branch of our Student Government!
Two weeks ago, as the fall elections came to a close, we ushered in a new group of fifty, eager Student Senators! As of last night’s meeting, their Orientation Series is complete and they are fully ready to take on the responsibility of representing the 50,000 students that make up the Gator Nation.
Some new initiatives that the Senate is working on this semester deal with improving student safety through increased technology and lighting all around campus, as well expanding student services such as bike repair and free printing. In addition, we hope to effectively reach out to all of our constituents through Town Hall Meetings that will be taking place across campus.
Furthermore, this semester I hope to lead Student Senate toward making a greater impact on our community. As leaders on campus, we understand it is important not only to represent the students, but also to give back to our surrounding environment. Student Senate will be partaking in community service events throughout the semester, even spearheading some of our own. To start, we will have a fundraising team taking part in Gators March For Babies, taking place this coming November. I encourage all of you to come out and support a great cause as well!
If you have any questions, suggestions, concerns, or would like to meet, please feel free to contact me at senatepresident@sg.ufl.edu
Have a great day, and Go Gators!
Cory Yeffet
