The newly-inaugurated Undergraduate Students Association Council kept rolling along, appointing additional members to important campus advisory boards and committees.

On June 11, USAC named students to the Associated Students of UCLA board of directors, Communications Board and several student programming committees.

Maggy Athanasious, a fourth-year political science and psychology student, was named to the BOD, which oversees the operations of Ackerman Union and all ASUCLA facilities and services.

Athanasious, former chief of staff for current President David Dahle, said she will leave the position now that she is on the BOD.

Fourth-year sociology and political science student Christopher Hauck, third-year communications student Lauren Manalang and third-year political science student Helen Seliverstov were appointed to the Communications Board, which oversees all Student Media operations including the Daily Bruin. Seliverstov is a former Daily Bruin News contributor.

General Representative runner-up Allende Palma-Saracho will now sit on the Student Fee Advisory Committee, which makes recommendations to the chancellor on student fee levels and uses.

Additionally, appointments were made to the Community Activities Committee, Campus Programs Committee and the Community Service Mini Fund, which provides supplemental income to outreach and community service programs.

Dahle made the recommendations to council, which were then reviewed by the Appointments Review Committee – consisting of Academic Affairs Commissioner Chris Diaz, External Vice President Chris Neal, General Representative Adam Harmetz and non-voting Finance Committee Chair Hrug DerManuelian.

But the final decision rested on a council vote, which could choose not to abide by the ARC’s consultation.

The council unanimously approved all recommendations except for Athanasious, who was appointed by a vote of 6-2 and with abstentions.
