It was the last senate meeting of the academic year as members of ASUCR tied up last-minute reports before a trickle of audience members in the galley. Vice President of Internal Affairs Johnny Ta delivered his last remarks about the Green Campus Action Plan Committee and Vice President of External Affairs Kareem Aref spoke of a candlelight vigil at UCR to mourn for victims of the mass shooting near UC Santa Barbara. To top the night off, Senator Sean Fahmian assisted a member of the audience by taking a group selfie along with the rest of ASUCR. As a new cohort of faces and nameplates appear in the Senate Chambers’ horseshoe, this year’s senate will leave behind campuswide projects such as the installation of solar panels and the food truck initiative (now into its second year) for its student body. The 2014-15 ASUCR senate was sworn in on Saturday, May 31.
