SFSS Council had a myriad of developmental work in August as students went off campus. There were presentations by Executives on the work since the last meeting including improving and getting ready for the Society audit, furnishing the SUB spaces, creating MOUS and really celebrating the community. As the summer ended, the month of August served as an amazing precursor to the Fall semester.
