The 18th Assembly of the University Park Undergraduate Association met for its second-ever meeting Wednesday night. It was a short meeting, with no legislation on the agenda to discuss and only one member to confirm.

The meeting began with President Nora O’Toole and Vice President Giselle Concepcion giving their opening remarks. O’Toole highlighted the introductory meetings she and Concepcion had with Penn State leaders and how their goals align for this new assembly. Concepcion discussed learning more about the university’s plans for dealing with potentially controversial speakers. The assembly then moved on to its only new business of the evening.

New Business

The only piece of new business was the confirmation of Deputy Chief of Staff Brandon Bixler. In his allotted speaking time, Bixler discussed the role itself and how he is going to act in that position.

There was very little debate over his confirmation, and Bixler was confirmed with a unanimous vote.
