Degree Works is a simple and student oriented program that will allow students to plan their coursework for an entire academic career, making it simpler for students to meet their graduation goals, while simultaneously allowing University administrators the ability to schedule specific classes to meet the requirements of students across disciplines and departments.
10. Partnered with the Division of Academic Affairs to empower all students with the responsibilities of academic integrity in each of the Universities colleges and schools.
14. Partnered with Provost Judy Bonner to institute a Section II University standing committee to review the significant financial burden placed upon students by the costs of textbooks and to explore and implement programs and policies to relieve students of this huge cost addition to their educations.
15. Appointed Vice President for Academic Affairs Brandon Clark to serve as co-chair of this standing committee along with Dr. Melondie Carter of the Faculty Senate.

22. Signed this administration’s fourth executive order, which significantly increased the maximum single loan amount to 500 dollars, interest free for an entire month.
23. Created a simplified emergency student loan application, accessible online through students’ myBama portal with the help of the Office of Information Technology, that cuts through the red tape of loan applications and enables students to receive their cash loans in a more efficient and timely manner.
25. Worked with Bama Dining Director A.J. DeFalco to implement a “tray-less dining” policy on campus to decrease the amount of water required by Bama Dining, thereby significantly decreasing the University’s impact on the environment and also cutting the dining costs passed on to students.
26. Partnered with Bama Dining to increase the hours of operation of Bama Dining facilities to serve student dining needs in the later hours.
27. Partnered with Bama Dining to tailor hours of operation of several dining locations to the needs of students, allowing Bama Dining to minimize operational costs passed along to students after suffering from budget cuts and increasing prices.
31. Partnered with the Division of Financial Affairs to create a simple website for students to view available options for on-campus employment and create an online profile making application for one or multiple positions simple and efficient for students.
36. Provided an even level of complete funding for the Student Legal Clinic, despite budget cuts, enabling our students to continue receiving free legal advice through the our partnership with the School of Law.
38. Provided free and convenient notary services for students for the first time through the SGA office with the help and cooperation of SGA office manager Carolyn Fulmer.
40. Partnered with the Division of Student Affairs to restructure the services available for student organizations and create The Source, a center devoted to the success of student organizations.
42. Worked with the Ferguson Student Union and the Division of Student Affairs to prioritize a renovation of the Ferguson Center to create a more welcoming and student-friendly space that will serve a central component of campus life and provide essential services to all students and student organizations.
44. Authored an amendment to the SGA Constitution, which was approved by the affirmative votes of 11,691 students (85 percent of ballots cast), to simplify the process through which vacancies in the Student Senate are filled, ensuring that all University students have the most active and responsive representation in the Student Senate.
47. Appointed the first student in the University’s history to co-chair a university standing committee, the Committee on Campus Life.
48. Increased student representation and attendance at all university standing committee meetings to provide a powerful voice representing student needs in this influential branch of the University’s advisory structure.
50. Worked diligently with members of the Alabama Legislature to ensure passage of House Bill 1, authored by Representative Jamie Ison of Mobile, legislation that protects University students from the dangers of sexual predators.
51. Partnered with the City of Tuscaloosa to support legislation that would bring new restaurants and entertainment venues to Tuscaloosa, thereby improving the local economy and offering more social and entertainment opportunities for students.
52. Continued SGA support of legislation that would ease the costs of textbooks of students of Alabama’s colleges and Universities and require those institutions to develop and implement further cost-saving policies.
54. Partnered with President Robert Witt and Vice President for Financial Affairs Lynda Gilbert to explore budget cuts and other avenues to keep tuition increases as manageable for our students as possible after significant budget cuts imposed by the State of Alabama.
55. Partnered with President Witt and Dr. Gilbert to explore tuition policy alternatives, such as graduated tuition increases for currently-enrolled students.

77. Co-sponsored the University’s 4th Annual Hip Hop Summit, which saw sell-out crowds of well over 2,000 students and showcased UA students and other local performers.
80. Created, through Executive Order, the Student Football Ticket Commission, chaired by Chief of Staff Richard Byrd, to explore and propose changes to the process through which the Athletic Department sells student football ticket packages and the policies regarding the use of those student tickets.
81. The Commission created a report, which was ratified by the University Administration and Athletic Department that implemented many reforms to student ticket policies, make football season packages more accessible to our student fans dedicated to Crimson Tide Football.
83. Authored Executive Order II, which prohibited any student who receives complimentary or automatic student football tickets packages (certain SGA officials, student athletes, members of the Million Dollar Band, Capstone Men & Women, etc.) from also purchasing a second regular student package during ticket sales conducted by the Athletic Department.
85. Partnered with President Witt and Athletic Director Mal Moore to propose a stadium expansion that would enlarge the student section to allow for a much needed increase in the amount of tickets available to our expanding student body.
86. Worked with University administrators to ensure construction work on the stadium is scheduled in a way that causes the least impact on current student seating for the 2009 football season and created a plan to address all seating needs of students if expansion does impact the student section during a part of the actual football season.
88. Worked with Vice President for Student Affairs Louise Crow to completely redesign the block seating application process, creating a more fair, open, and objective system that rewards organization with traditions of scholarship, campus involvement, and community service.
90. Worked with ACTion Card Services and Vice President for Student Affairs Louise Crow to develop a waitlist system in which students could be notified via e-mail and admitted to fill unfilled at the end of a football game’s first quarter.
91.
92. During the 2008 Football season, I worked with Vice President of Student Affairs Louise Crow, and a small group of students to improve the number of tickets being donated to the student ticket pool. Due to the number of unused tickets we saw at the beginning of the football season, we formed this group to increase the ticket usage. We recognized how important it is that every student football ticket be used every week. Using as many communication avenues as we could, we encouraged students who were not going to the game to donate or transfer their ticket to another student. Furthermore, we worked with administration to formulate ways the maximize the number of students in the stadium. We were successful in improving the numbers. We look forward to seeing further improvement with the maturation and acceptance of the new paperless system.
93. I worked with SGA President Cason Kirby, and high ranking UA officials to ensure that student interests are not only protected, but enhanced with the new expansion of the south end-zone.
94. Most recently I have worked with Louise Crow to improve the communication about how the 2009 purchasing process will be conducted. While the process will remain largely the same, we want to ensure that all students are aware of the most minute details including dates, times, technological information, prices, and secondary options. We have worked with athletics to create written information with screenshots, along with a video explaining this information for students. We want students to be completely prepared when buying football tickets for the 2009 season.
95.
96. After we had spent hours in discussion and brainstorming, combined with determination from the SGA President and a student oriented administrator, we were able to secure the funding for the 24 hour library through a partnership with Buffalo Rock Pepsi. While this was not the final step in accomplishing this platform item, it was the biggest obstacle in our way.
97. Several times throughout the past year, I went to Montgomery along with other SGA representatives to advocate student interests to state legislators. The focus was on bills regarding student safety, university funding, which directly effects the tuition students will pay, and taxes on university textbooks.
98. I served as an ex officio member of the university standing committee on Parking and Traffic. I voiced student concerns and represented the interests of students on the committee which sometimes can forget about the impact their decisions have on each of us. While many times I was in the minority, the voice of the students was heard.
99. Shortly after being inaugurated, then SGA Executive Advisor Jesse Woods, SGA president Cason Kirby, and myself were successful in implementing a laptop rental program in the Ferguson Center. The Ferguson Center is the most heavily trafficked building by students, and we felt that a laptop rental program would be appropriate.
100.
101. This past year we founded an unprecedented Office of International Involvement. This office served to represent the needs of the underrepresented international students, and also to encourage them to become involved with their SGA. The office reported directly to the SGA president and myself. Under director Will Thomas, the office hosted the first annual Week of International Involvement in which the SGA partnered with other campus organizations in activities such as forums, games, and informational events. The office was able to bring a new face to the SGA, and I look forward to watching its potential growth in the future.
102.
103. As Chief of Staff I held all SGA Executive Council members accountable. This is obviously a full-time task. I planned and lead the executive officers meetings, meet with Vice Presidents on a regular basis, and instituted a system of director accountability for office hours. I continually asked officers where they were on completing their platform and in what areas they were experiencing problems. Having a productive group of executive officers made this part my job a pleasure.
104. It was my job to facilitate communication and streamline resources across the SGA. The SGA is a large organization and always has many things going on. I served to minimize the repetition of processes and make certain that resources were being used in an effective manner
105. It was my job as incoming Chief of Staff to guarantee that our administration had a smooth transition. I did this by clarifying expectations to all SGA members in the weeks leading up to our inauguration. This took a great deal of learning and commitment on everyone’s part.
106. I regularly served on various other committees and attended meetings in place of the SGA President. These committees included the Media Planning Board, and Campus Violence Task Force among others.
107.
108. During the 2008 fiscal year, the FAC allocated the entire $120,000 budget for the first time in the organization’s history. This money helps cover expenses for student organizations on campus. Theses allocations were confirmed by the SGA senate.
109. Prior to the fiscal year 2009, the precedents used by the FAC were changed to more efficiently allocate funds and to prevent the erosion caused by increase prices in travel. The most significant changes were increasing the travel precedent from $1,200 to $1,600 and removing the advertising, copying, postage, and office supply precedents while replacing them with a $500 general supply precedent.
110. The FAC forms were updated accordingly removing obsolete information and updating them with the new precedents and new Coordinating Council for Student Organization guidelines. These forms were then posted on the SGA website and in the SGA office in order to ensure easier access to all students.
111. The SGA student loan program was continued with over 700 loans given totaling over $241,000. This program provides students with interest free loans for thirty days and helps students in tight circumstances with utility bills, rent, car trouble, etc… This program was expanded in January by increasing the loan amount to $500 and will be launched online during April. By increasing the amount, almost any student’s rent can now fully be covered. Furthermore, placing the program online allows for easier access and less hassle for students needing a loan.
112.
113. Installing the GIN System to serve as an inter-office means of communication.
114. Posting “Headlines,” or information regarding the University that pertains to student life, as well as various forms used by the SGA throughout the year and information regarding elections and positions within the SGA.
115. Working with Brittnie Mabry and the Office of Communications to create the SGA Brochure for the current administration.
116. Working with the webmaster to add various items to the website. The website, active August 2007, has provided a more professional format of information to students, faculty and staff.
117. Updating the website to include all Executive officers information, job description and goals for the year.
118. Updating the website to include all Senator’s information. In addition to their profiles, this year I added information pertaining to the resolutions each Senator authored or sponsored as well as uploading a Senate journal with every Senator linked to his or her page.
119. This year I also worked with the Department of Environmental Concerns to create the first Departmental webpage. I believe this is something that every department will eventually have. The role of the Executive Secretary will continue to evolve as technology advances and information becomes more reliant on the Internet. Thus far, it has allowed the SGA to better connect with those the SGA strives to serve.<br />Patty Ann Green<br />Director of Communications<br />The Office of Communications has now been in existence for two years. When I began the year, I strived to implement effective communication to benefit the entire University, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The Student Government Association provides a variety of programs, resources, and initiatives to benefit the entire UA Community, and the Office of Communications seeks to inform all members of the University of Alabama about these programs. The Communications Director is responsible for ensuring the entire campus is informed of all opportunities and programs of the Student Government Association at the University of Alabama.<br />Goals Accomplished<br />Get On Board Day, held in August 2008 and January 2009, recruits students to a variety of organizations. The SGA hosted three tables recruiting freshman and other students to become a member of the SGA during this all day event. T-shirts, cups, coozies, and door hangers were all distributed by members of the SGA. The membership drive received many qualified applicants, and this event was the beginning to an exciting year! <br />Each Friday before Alabama home football game days, the Crimson White releases a supplementary publication called Gameday. The Gameday publication highlights the upcoming football game in addition to events on campus. The Office of Communications coordinated various advertisements each week highlighting SGA initiatives, including the 24-hour library at Rodgers Library, the MyTicket football program, and the newly created E-Bus route. <br />When the SGA office relocated to the second floor of the Ferguson Center, the SGA gained a new bulletin board space viewable by people in the Ferguson Center. The Communications Department designed the materials posted on the SGA bulletin board, and upcoming events and news are updated as necessary. <br />Each year, the SGA produces a brochure to distribute for visitors to the office and students interested in becoming more involved. This year’s SGA Brochure highlighted the executive officers and various programs of the Student Government Association. Working with the SGA Executive Secretary, this brochure creatively displays the many resources available through the SGA.<br />The MyTicket Football Ticket Exchange Program is the student ticket purchase program created through a partnership with the Action Card office and the SGA. Working with the Vice President for Student Affairs office, the Office of Communications distributed flyers, handbills, and emails to inform and remind students about opportunities to purchase football tickets with ease. This program was largely successful, and will be a great program for the University to use for years to come.<br />The Communications Department publicized the partnership with the UA Civil Law Clinic and the SGA. Students were informed through CW announcements and on the MYBAMA homepage.<br />Town Hall meetings were created this year to inform students about hot topics on campus. The first meeting addressed recommended changes to the football ticket purchase system. A panel addressed questions from the audience, and guests from the football ticket office assisted SGA executives with the meeting. The meeting was very successful, and proved to be a great way to pr

As I’m sure you will soon come to see, this has indeed been a very busy and beneficial year for the 27,052 students that serve as the lifeblood of our state’s flagship university.<br />In the face of difficult economic times, our student government has worked tirelessly to provide the support our students need to do their jobs both inside the classroom and out. We are certainly proud of our headline achievements; however, we equally understand that often times the small services are those which make the truly fundamental impact on the everyday lives of our students.<br />Our government has been driven by the empowerment of this student body and a sense of responsibility for all of our fellow students who do and will call the Capstone home. For one short year, we have been entrusted to lead and to represent what I know is the world’s greatest student body. The thoughtful and diligent team that has comprised this government have dedicated themselves to leaving our storied institution stronger than ever before for the next generation of student leaders.<br />278130054610<br />Roll Tide,<br />Cason M.
