Members of the Saint Mary's Board of Governance held their first meeting of the year Monday. Student body president Sarah Catherine White welcomed Saint Mary's new president Carol Mooney and talked about the history and background of the College. "These pictures remind us that we will lead this history together," White said. "We must show respect, and keep in mind that others have led us to guide here, for they see our ambition. We are called to lead with our talents." White later discussed the first draft of the new BOG constitution. She asked board members to edit their contributions and be prepared to vote on the changes in the next few weeks. Treasurer Molly Welton said the excess money the board had expected would not be available since the enrollment decrease resulted in a budget cut. Susan McIlduff, chief of staff, also said freshmen elections would begin in the next few weeks. "Hopefully we can spread the word and get some really great freshmen involved with BOG," McIlduff said.
