Executive
 Summary
 
 Our
 platform
 is
 based
 off
 creating
 a
 social
 
environment
 within
 Harper
 that
 caters
 to
  the
 diverse
 culture
 of
 the
 house.
 Our
  ultimate
 goal
 is
 to
 create
 a
 house
 that
  everyone
 feels
 welcome
 within,
 and
 that
  the
 large
 variety
 of
 events
 will
 attract
 their
  interest
 at
 multiple
 points
 during
 the
 year.

Communication
 
We
 wish
 to
 improve
 communication
 through
 the
 executive
 and
 Resident
 life
 staff
 to
 members
 of
  the
 house,
 through
 both
 increased
 accountability
 on
 behalf
 of
 the
 wing
 reps,
 and
 each
 individual
  executive
 member.
 Our
 goals
 would
 see
 executive
 made
 available
 to
 house
 members
 as
 much
  as
 possible,
 and
 investigate
 with
 a
 weekly
 or
 biweekly
 newsletter
 to
 the
 house.
 
 
 

Social
 Activities
 
We
 would
 strive
 to
 have
 weekly
 or
 biweekly
 activities,
 such
 as
 game
 nights,
 movie
 nights
 and
  small
 wing
 contests
 to
 gain
 points
 over
 the
 course
 of
 the
 year
 in
 a
 Harper
 version
 of
 the
  President’s
 Cup!
 The
 logistics
 of
 this
 would
 be
 worked
 out,
 and
 residents
 would
 be
 given
 at
 least
  7
 days
 notice
 prior
 to
 a
 point-­‐worthy
 event.
 
 
 

Wellness
 
As
 part
 of
 our
 planning
 of
 events,
 we
 would
 keep
 the
 idea
 of
 active
 living
 and
 healthy
 lifestyle
  choices
 in
 mind.
 Picking
 activities
 that
 give
 people
 the
 opportunity
 to
 be
 moving
 while
 enjoying
  camaraderie
 and
 plenty
 of
 laughs.
 We
 would
 ensure
 that
 all
 students
 understand
 how
 to
 access
  wellness
 services
 on
 campus,
 and
 help
 coordinate
 wellness
 related
 activities
 with
 the
 wellness
  rep
 and
 residence
 life
 team.
 
 

Financial
 
Events
 organized
 through
 our
 Social
 Chairs
 under
 the
 house
 would
 be
 delivered
 on
 or
 under
  budget
 agreed
 upon
 by
 the
 House.
 If
 an
 event
 or
 activity
 is
 at
 risk
 of
 going
 over
 budget,
 by
  working
 through
 the
 Secretary/Treasurer
 and
 Executive
 Team
 we
 would
 re-­‐submit
 a
 budget
 at
  the
 next
 house
 council
 meeting
 for
 our
 Reps
 to
 approve.
 This
 increases
 accountability
 on
 the
  part
 of
 the
 Executive
 Team
 in
 use
 of
 the
 House
 budget.

About
 Tim
 and
 Keegan
 

  The
 idea
 of
 running
 in
 House
 elections
 began
 to
 circulate
 through
 our
 minds
 in
 early
 September,
  shortly
 after
 we
 meet
 at
 a
 frosh
 week
 activity.
 After
 much
 bonding
 and
 many
 laughs
 through
  first
 semester,
 we
 realized
 our
 potential
 as
 a
 team,
 to
 help
 keep
 making
 Harper
 a
 great
 place
 to
  live.
 By
 the
 time
 it
 came
 to
 nominations,
 it
 was
 a
 given
 that
 we
 would
 throw
 our
 name
 on
 the
  ballet.
 We’re
 happy
 to
 currently
 be
 candidates
 in
 the
 election,
 and
 welcome
 any
 questions
  related
 to
 our
 platform
 positions
 or
 other
 items.
