Student Government is right in the midst of it, as we set the precedent for a fresh government system during a new era …

Hey Students,

As you may have seen, there are six new Go Bikes around campus, thanks to the hard work of the Principia Bike Shop. We’re excited to have purchased new bikes and have those out and working, so feel free to grab one and take it for a spin. If you see a broken Go Bike, please take it to the Bike Shop to be fixed.

Hello Principians!
We hope you’re enjoying the beautiful winter as much as we are. 
Your student government leaders will vote Sunday night on a new model for student government. This model is the result of a quarter’s worth of conversations with student leaders, RCs, and administrators, and it includes modest but important upgrades to the structure of student government. We believe this new model will prepare us for success in the …

Hello Principians,
Student government work continues. After surveying students, we have formally recommended to the administration that the current student government office space be converted into a convenience store with 24-hour vending machines and a staffed area that will be open during the day to provide baking goods and fresh fruits and vegetables. We are very excited for work to begin on this conversion.
Presidential Board and Student Activities Board recently approved …
