SGA Senate, Let me first say I am sorry for missing the retreat this weekend. Personal problems arose back in New York that I could not ignore. These same problems will be consuming a vast amount of my time over the coming months and I will be spending a lot of time travelling between areas. After much internal debate I feel it is necessary to focus what remaining time I will have upon my research and classes. Although I do not wish to sound selfish circumstances dictate that my attention be turned to graduation and returning to NY immediately afterward. Although this decision was not easy i have chosen to resign both my internship at Merril Lynch and my position as senator at the sga. I hope you can all understand and I truly thank you for the opportunity you gave me. Aaron Brodeur
