Calling all students! Is something happening at your school that you don鈥檛 like? Do you feel like you are missing important information that could affect you and your schooling? Do you wish you had a say in what happens at 麻豆视频State College? Then joining the Student Government Association or SGA should be your next step.
Everyone wants to be heard. Everyone wants to have a say in what goes on in their school, especially if it affects them in anyway. Sadly, many students are not familiar with ways to do that. Student Government Association president Jasmine Tarmine said, 鈥淲e have been getting emails out to everyone because some students don鈥檛 even know SGA exists.鈥
Tarmine believes that joining SGA is important. 鈥淲e can鈥檛 be a governing body if we don鈥檛 have a good range of student with different views and feedback. We need to hear problems from different students and how we can help them.鈥
SGA is responsible for governing student interests, advocating for student concerns, providing support and recognition for student organizations, and serving students by hosting activities and events that enhance student life. It鈥檚 also super easy to join 鈥 all you have to do is show up to three meetings and BOOM! You鈥檙e in!
In addition to benefitting students by representing their interests to administration and the Board of Governors, SGA is an excellent leadership training experience and a great addition to any academic or professional resume. Being a member of the student government is a great opportunity to meet new people and make long lasting relationships with a diverse group of students.
If you want to have a say when important decisions are made, come to SGA鈥檚 meetings every Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in the ballroom on the third floor of the Mollohan. If you have any questions, email SGA SGA@glenville.edu or its president Tarman.JasmineN@gsc.glenville.edu.
