The Notre Dame Student Senate met on Wednesday to discuss signature events organized by the residence halls.
Student body vice president Maeve Miller started the meeting by urging attendants to follow @ndstugov on Instagram, where important events and opportunities are announced. Parliamentarian Thomas Musgrave joined Miller in leading the meeting alongside student union secretary Eileen Burger.
“First-year class elections have been completed,” Musgrave said. The freshman class council is composed of one representative from each residence hall.
