Council held a brief meeting after the Vice-Presidential Candidate Fireside Forum that consisted primarily of various committee updates. Appointments Committee has done all the interviews for appointments and has chosen a “good group of people.” College Planning Committee met and is discussing what Swarthmore should look like in 2025, and Student Council discussed ways to get student feedback on this question. Also, the computer program for organizing final times for “Thanksgiving in the Spring” is currently being written.
