Senator Alex Engstrom announced he contacted Sodexo about the ability to use declining balance on vending machines. However, vending machines are operated by an outside company.

Senator Engstrom is now making efforts to resolve the issue of leftover declining balance. Every year there are about 50, 000 dollars left over from the declining balance that goes back to Sodexo. Senator Engstrom suggested SGA could request some of the money back to NSU to be used for food insecurities or donated to the Food Pantry.

Senator Mary Scruggs announced she met with Lisa Harris, director of human resources, for updates on the recurring issues with John S. Kyser Hall elevators.

Senator Tullos announced she is working with the Office of Accessibility and Disability Support to start an organization on campus for students with disabilities.
