within the university. Edgar Carreño, an ASCWU staff member, has been essential in supporting this office and creating events and gathering information that supports these efforts for students. The importance of these committees and student representation as a part of the shared governance of this University has often been overlooked, and these efforts hope to move this into being a priority of the office and Executive Vice President for the future. In meeting with CWU Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs Joel Klucking, Kane has had discussions regarding parking, the New York Teriyaki building, and the Wildcat Farm that have supported student understanding and thoughts in decisions being made.
