The governing body of Wiess, which we call Cabinet, consists of seventeen voting members. Cabinet plans events, makes decisions and spends money. Meetings are every other Wednesday night at 10 pm in the Upper Commons and all Wiessmen are encouraged to attend. Meetings are fun, complete with free food and costumes relevant to the week's theme. This is an opportunity to hear what is happening at Wiess. Most importantly, it's an opportunity to be a part of planning what happens at Wiess.
