It has been a long year for Rebecca Taber ’08 and the outgoing leaders of the Yale College Council. Since assuming the YCC presidency last September, Taber has spent the year meeting with administrators, speaking to student groups and spending hours each day responding to student e-mails.

Taber is awesome!!! Never before has one accomplished so much for so many.

Funny, this sounds a lot like "committees." That's how my college gets things done in its student senate - it has a number of standing committees that do a lot of work. From my high school days, I learned quickly that without committees, you get nowhere fast. I'd encourage YCC to seize on this innovation and set up some standing committees. Talk to the Senate at Tufts Univ. for ideas.

Taber's greatest accomplishment this year was getting YDN support. She is pretty similar to past presidents - some accomplishments but more talk than action. Still the reporting was just in general more positive this year, which reflects a change in YDN approach more than any change in leadership.
