We here at the Student Government Association hope everyone had a wonderful Homecoming weekend. It was amazing to see the campus banding together once again to welcome back our alumni and celebrate with Shippensburg pride.
This week we are excited to be hosting President’s Hour, an opportunity for students to come ask questions, speak about concerns, and give ideas for campus betterment. It will be held on Thursday, Oct. 24, at 4 p.m. in CUB 119.
We will be joined by President Patterson and a panel of administrators ready to answer your questions. Provost Darrell Newton, Dean of Students Lorie Sheetz, Chief of University Police Patrick Taylor and more will be in attendance. We really hope you all will take the opportunity to join us at President’s Hour.
Our SGA committees are hard at work and always actively meeting; however, they are still very open to having new members join. Our committees are a great opportunity to be involved directly in the work we do at SGA without the full-time commitment of being a senator.
Committees also provide a space to build your skills in teamwork and learning about organizational structures. Our committees include Budget and Finance, Campus Safety and Facilities, Diversity and Inclusion, Elections and Student Groups.
We are also still on the lookout for a chair to lead the Food Service and Sustainability Committee. This committee works with dining services to represent and plan for what the student body wants from their dining experience.
If you are interested in chairing this committee or joining and others please reach out to our Vice President of Internal Affairs, Katie Huston, at sgavpinternal@ship.edu.
You can attend our next SGA public meeting on Nov. 7 at 4 p.m. in CUB 119. We appreciate everyone for staying updated on campus happenings and involvement with your student government.
