"A lot of division and disenfranchisement is created when people don't know what's going on and then feel that they were denied a say," he says. "I'm going to work extra hard to keep everyone informed and involved in the council's projects."
One mechanism Gusmorino plans is a yearlong council calendar to keep track of council initiatives and deadlines. He says he'll also reform the "routine" things the council does, like postering and tabling, in order to distribute the workload evenly among council members.
Gusmorino says he plans to reorganize the council's executive committee to make it more inclusive, but has not yet worked out the details of the plan. It will involve creating a "cabinet" of sorts from both the current executive board and others from both on and off council, Gusmorino says.
He also says he will work closely with student group leaders to improve the council's visibility and reputation on campus.
Another high priority will be moving forward with the council's plans for a concert commission to bring bands and popular musicians to campus. Lee, co-chair of the council's campus life committee, will head up that project.
