At a meeting last night, Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate President Mitch Robinson delivered a State of the Senate address.
In his approximately 400-word speech, Robinson said that the Senate should be most concerned with leading the community in efforts to strengthen the student experience at Tufts.
According to Robinson, the Senate will continue to focus on improving Tufts' social life, image, academics, alumni relations, career services and diversity, and will also strive to constantly communicate with the student body.
Robinson also mentioned both the death of Lily Diana Karian and the "racial insensitivity" in The Primary Source, citing them as events that could permanently harm or strengthen the Tufts community.
Robinson believes that this year's Senate is "the most capable body in the history of the Senate," and said that its performance last semester reaffirmed his belief in its members.
He urged students to remember "the successes this body and this school witnessed last semester," such as the opening of the new Sophia Gordon dormitory for the beginning of the school year and the work done in preparation for the unveiling of the recently opened music library.
Other ongoing projects include the renovations to Hotung Caf?©, in what Robinson called "a forever changed campus center," as well as improving community relations and upgrading the housing lottery system.
