Two and a half years ago there was no fall concert at Boston College, no flat screens in the dining halls, no e-syllabi online, no bi-weekly UGBC emails, and no Director of Sustainability in the university administration. However, the previous two UGBC Administrations took Boston College to a new level, establishing traditions and attitudes that have become a defining part of the university's character today.

This year, we hope to increase the level of commitment among the Undergraduate Government of Boston College. This starts with us and will be reflected throughout our organization. We will work tirelessly to act as representatives of the student voice and will ensure that UGBC is always working on behalf of students.

While this begins with us, we know we cannot represent Boston College alone. We have chosen students for the 2009-2010 Cabinet who have a strong level of commitment and dedication to join us in our goal to improve our university.

We are ready to work on improving all aspects of the lives of students at Boston College. Our platform is divided up into five sections: University Issues, Student Life, Community Participation, UGBC improvements and Academic Life. Whether it means implementing Advising Evaluations, creating a blog to improve communication with students or adding a shuttle service to the Watertown Mall, we are committed to making the experience at Boston College better.

All Cabinet General meetings are open to the public and we strongly encourage anyone who is interested to get involved. We hope you choose to join us in our commitment - to UGBC, to students, and to making Boston College a better place.
