The most recent meeting took place at 5 p.m. on Monday, February 15. The meeting was held in the Dyke Center for Family Business, where members of the Student Government all sat at a very long, rectangular table. Several boxes of pizza and bottles of soda were organized at one end of the table, and the other end supported a podium, where everyone directed their attention. Typically, Yury Nabokov would stand behind this podium and lead the meeting, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he was unable to attend. Fortunately, Maya Vysokikh was able to take the reigns and run this meeting in his stead.
 * BANGOR** - Student Government is an organization that is very much part of both Husson and NESCom. Every member of the organization contributes something unique that ultimately combines into the whole of Student Government. There’s a Treasurer, a Secretary, and even a Library Committee, just to name a few. Students at Husson and NESCom are, by all means, encouraged to approach these individuals if there is anything they would like to see altered or improved upon. ======

The meeting began with a review of the minutes from the previous meeting. Everyone was thanked for putting together "Winter Week", and the Treasurer and Secretary were then asked if they had anything to report. The Treasurer had nothing to report, and the Secretary stated that she was putting together a locker survey. The topic of surveys then brought the committee back to the subject of a printer survey, which may result in a new printer policy.

A slight dilemma occurred when it was discovered that the Library Committee needed one more member. Thankfully, a student swiftly raised his hand and volunteered. Thus providing a solution to the problem in under a minute.

Some new business was also briefly discussed. It was agreed upon that this year's Open House would be taking place on Saturday, March 27, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. It was also agreed that the theme for this open house would be "Heroes and Villains."

A few miscellaneous items were discussed, and at roughly 5:45 p.m., Maya Vysokikh soon called the meeting to a close. She stayed for a bit afterward, and was able to provide a brief description of the organization's objective. "We are here to serve the students, and we represent the student body," said Vysokikh. "If they want anything changed, all they have to do is talk to one of the members here."
