Georgetown University Student Association leaders are banking on a new type of meeting to make Georgetown students see their organization in a different light.
Starting next week, GUSA will begin a new policy of holding town hall meetings in dorms, hoping for increased interest in campus government.
“Most students aren’t going to go to a GUSA assembly meeting,” GUSA spokesman Andy Asensio (CAS ‘06) said. “Most people think GUSA is just a group of people in a closed-off room.”
Asensio said that first-years are often an underrepresented voice in campus life. He added that they will benefit especially from the meetings.
GUSA is working closely with resident assistants in first-year dorms to make sure that students are aware of these meetings.
