Class of 2020 Thank You Video To all staff, faculty, and professors, we would like to thank you for all of the support and lessons that you've been given us throughout the past years.

Good luck with finals this week Penn State Berks. We believe in you. Congratulations to all the seniors that are graduating, you will be missed, for those of you returning in the fall we can’t wait to see you again!

We want to recognize the hard work, commitment, and positive influence that our clubs and organizations have put towards the Penn State Berks community. The Student Government Association received nominations for the awards listed above. Please applaud these groups for their outstanding work through the 2019-2020 academic year.

With the current global situation, no new campus-specific details have developed, eliminating the apparent need for the weekly virtual Town Hall meeting. With that said, tomorrow's meeting (4/15/2020) is cancelled. The meeting of Wednesday 4/22/2020 will also be cancelled unless a need arises. It is important to note the final SGA meeting for the school year will be a virtual Town Hall meeting held at 12:15 pm on Wednesday 4/29/2020. This meeting will require attendance for club senators and we highly encourage club presidents and all students of the Penn State Berks community to attend. The zoom link for this meeting will be released at a later date.

This announcement does NOT mean the business of the SGA has concluded. Much rather the SGA will continue to yield any questions you may have regarding club policies, budgets, updates on the global situation, etc, and will continue to advocate for a better Penn State. The SGA staff will be virtually attending the last weekend of the Council of Commonwealth Student Government for the school year. During the meeting of 4/29, the SGA will report the happenings of this council.

Feel free to reach out to the SGA via President Steven Filby ([email protected]) or Vice President Caitlin Morris ([email protected]).

TOMORROW SGA will be having our Town Hall !!!!! We will be informing students on up-to-date information that we have regarding COVID-19. All students are welcome to attend, and will be provided an open forum at the end of the meeting to talk about any issues they feel are important. There is a zoom link in your email from Joe Webb.

The Student Government Association welcomes all persons with disabilities to campus events. If you need assistance, please contact the SGA at [email protected] or [email protected]
