Hi everyone, I would like to talk to you about Student Government Association (SGA).
I became involved with the student government because I like to help people in anyway that I can. As an officer of SGA I am learning leadership skills that employers look for in the work force.
I enjoy SGA because it gives me chance to deal with a wide range of people and personalities, as well as network with other students. I also like meeting the school staff and faculty and learning how the school operates as a whole. I can honestly say that over the last two years I have met the most kindhearted faculty and staff here at the Elkhorn campus.
Students should get involved with the SGA because it serves as the voice of the student body, helping students have an easier campus life, solve simple problems, promote campus events and support community projects.
The SGA also has campus events such as discounted tickets to sponsored events, community projects, and family friendly movie nights on campus!
Did you know that you may already be a member of the Student Government Association? A portion of the student fees included in your tuition goes to support the SGA, so if you are a tuition paying student- you are a member! All you need to do now is become an active member!
Elkhorn SGA meetings are held the first Wednesday of every month at noon in room 112. We also provide free lunch for the students who attend the meetings.
SGA has other school clubs that attend the monthly meetings, these clubs can receive points that add up at the end of the year. The club with the most points is able to win gifts or awards that represent their club. Students can also earn points for each meeting they attend by being a member of a club, participating in school spirit, bringing a freind or fellow student, and attending every meeting. At the end of the year three students with the most points win great prizes!
The clubs that are being represented at the SGA meetngs now are HOSA-MA (Health Occupation Students Of America Medical Association), G-CPU (Gateway Computer Professionals United Computer Club), BPA (Business Professionals of America), C.O.P. (Chi Omega Phi), TSC (The Silent Connection) and the Robotic Welders Club.
The above mentioned clubs have a bulletin board competition and every month they have a theme and deadline they have to follow, the bulletin boards are judged by school staff and the club that wins receives $75.00
This semester the Elkhorn SGA sold tickets to Fright Fest for only $15 a ticket, and now we are having a food drive to sponsor the local food pantry. We are asking all students and staff to bring in at least one non perishable food item to help us support our community.
On December 11, 2009 at 5 pm in the Student Commons, Elkhorn SGA is having a FREE family movie night and photos with Santa! Please join us and bring your family!
December 2, 2009 at noon in room 112 is our next meeting. Hope to see you there.
