Hey JMU!
The SGA is proud to bring you a fun, simple way to celebrate Valentine's Day this year (especially if you are Valentine-less).
GoodCrush allows students to list the @jmu.edu emails of five students on whom they have crushes. Those students then receive e-mails telling them that an anonymous student has a crush on them. If two people have entered each other's names, the website sends another e-mail revealing the students' identities to each other.
Getting involved is simple.
Log onto http://jmu.goodcrush.com/
1. Put in your name and school email address.
2. List the emails of up to 5 crushes you have (there is a link to the directory on the site)
3. If there is a match, GoodCrush will let both people know; otherwise, your identity is never revealed!
Happy Loving JMU!!!

New Mission: What can we do for you?
Last weekend on our retreat SGA created a new mission for the spring semester. We had many constructive conversations about the future of this organization and how we can better serve the students. Our new mission best describes our commitment to the JMU student body and how we want to represent your voice:
We are: a group of students committed to representing the voice of the student body.
We believe: that every student’s voice has the ability to make a meaningful impact.
And therefore we: serve the JMU community by amplifying the voices of others.
We are excited to turn this vision into actions this semester but we need your help too. Tell us how we can better serve you this semester by responding to this post. Share your voice with us so that we can amplify it to the JMU community. What can SGA do for you?

Attention Skyline Residents: Changes to the C17 (Arboretum) Lot
11/9/2009
For Immediate Release: SGA Announces Changes to C17 Parking Lot
Direct Inquiries to: Elissa Taylor, Director of Public Relations
The Student Government Association is pleased to announce the rezoning of the C17 (Arboretum Lot) for both residential and commuter use. The lot has been renamed the R5 lot.
Many residents in the Skyline area had expressed dissatisfaction regarding the imbalance between the number of spaces available in close proximity to their dorms and the number of students with cars. Recognizing this need, the Student Government actively sought alternatives for resident parking in the Skyline area.
The research completed by Vice President of Administrative Affairs, Dan Smolkin, and Parking Advisory Committee Members Tim Sewter and Susan Ghanem was presented to the Parking Advisory Committee in the form of a proposal to rezone the C17 (Arboretum) lot.
The proposal called for the C17 lot to be rezoned for residential use given its close proximity to the Skyline residence halls. Additionally, the members recognized that this lot would not substantially increase car flow on campus. With the addition of this lot, the balance of residential spaces will be increased by 101, which will meet the future demand of resident parking in this area adequately.
The proposal was approved by the University Parking Advisory Committee on Friday, October 23rd 2009.
Residents with valid residential parking passes can park in the C17 lot, now known as the R5 lot effective immediately. The R5 (Blue Ridge Hall) lot will remain open for residential use.
A copy of the proposal is available in the Student Government Association office in Taylor 203 or by email to smolkidm@jmu.edu.
