During its first General Assembly and sole summer meeting Wednesday, Penn Stateâs University Park Undergraduate Association confirmed new directors and representatives into a vast number of positions in anticipation of the fall semester.
The student government, which hopes to conduct its meetings in person next semester, hosted its summer session via Zoom.
For the four open positions on UPUAâs judicial board, student body President Erin Boas nominated four associate justices.
Andrew Waldman (sophomore-mechanical engineering), Kristine Gonzalez (senior-political science), Lawrence Corridoni (junior-mechanical engineering) and Yash Patni (sophomore-computer science) were each questioned and confirmed by the UPUA General Assembly.
The General Assembly then considered Boasâs (senior-international politics and economics) selections for directors of various student government departments.
The 16th Assembly of the University Park Undergraduate Association met virtually Wednesday night for its second meeting.
The night began with a special presentation from student trustee Bryan Culler. He spoke about his role in the Next Gen Penn State Advisory Group, a group organized with the purpose of seeking input and guiding community involvement in the search for the next university president.
Culler shared
this survey for any students, faculty, staff, or alumni interested in weighing in about characteristics, priorities, and goals that are important in the search for the next president.
The next special presentation was from UPUA Speaker Sydney Gibbard, President Erin Boas, and Vice President Najee Rodriguez.
