ASB plans to increase engagement

ASB+plans+to+increase+engagement

ASB aims to increase transparency and communication with the student body through upcoming winter events, a newly designed website and a revised constitution.

“We want to connect with the student body directly,” said junior Vivian Feng, ASB vice president. “Our goals are getting more direct student feedback, specifically from underclassmen, and increasing the amount of students we can cater to with our events.”

Upcoming school-wide events include Cookies and Cocoa on the Quad, a movie night and Tea with ASB. ASB is also working with a designer to create a more user-friendly site which will make ASB minutes more accessible and allow students to contact officers directly.

In addition, ASB is changing its constitution for the first time in five years to address the increased size of the class. Officers will discuss the officer appointment process and the current requirement for candidates to win a majority of the votes.

“We’re getting more informed and preparing ASB members to become more knowledgeable about the greater community outside just the classroom,” Feng said.
