Improv Group Shadows Student Senate Resolution Hearing
Last Wednesday, Texas A&M improv group Home Improv-ment attended a weekly Student Senate meeting to observe senators as they debated passing resolutions on behalf of the student body. Home Improv-ment’s attendance is part of an initiative to develop its members’ improvisational skills by shadowing other student organizations where much of the work is made up in the moment.
The Senate hopes collaborating with Home Improv-ment will increase engagement with students that have had little exposure to the governing process or the senators themselves. Many student interactions with senators are limited to invasive campaigning and soon-to-be-defunct Instagram accounts during the week of voting.
At the end of the meeting, the resolutions passed included “Condemning Recent Winter Weather” and “Support of Squirrel Population Management.” Much to some senators’ dismay, the “Thank You Former President Michael Young” resolution failed to pass.
While this past meeting marked the conclusion of the 73rd legislative session, senators are already looking forward to future grandstanding opportunities when the next session begins this Wednesday.

That’s when he gets you. 4.0 & Tow feeds off your desperation and despair as he gladly hooks up what’s left of your pride before happily driving off, waiting for you to come groveling back to him like you always do.
