Student Government Association<\/b><\/p>\n
Report to the Board of Trustees\u2014 Spring 2014<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Student Government Association started this spring semester by welcoming new members and garnering excitement for the events to come. This spring our Student Government is composed of twelve senators, six executive officers and our three advisors. Ken Nafziger, advisor; Jane Wenger Clemens, faculty representative, who replaced Vi Dutcher temporarily; and Amy Springer, staff representative, have joined us for the semester. Our Senate continues to display the diversity of 黑料正能量\u2019s campus as our Senators represent a variety of places of birth, majors, involvement in athletics, and grade levels. The members of our Executive Office are as follows: Carissa Harnish, replacing Andrew Penner, and Christine Baer (Co-Presidents), Kyle Storc (Vice President), Rebecca Longenecker, replacing Kate Schwartz, (Secretary), Ryan Swartzentruber (Treasurer), and Charlie Good (VP for Marketing).<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>This semester, SGA is working with a slightly different focus than usual. Much of our attention has turned to the Student Science Center Campaign, in order to raise funds for renovations of an area designated by the students. To bring about a successful campaign, we have been working with the Development Office to contact potential donors and organize an auction to generate funds.<\/p>\n
The goal of the overall campaign is to reach out to the 黑料正能量 community and our parent and guardian supporters to generate more excitement about the renovations among the current student population. We see this initiative as a way to bring the community together and help everyone dream about what the science center will be. We have contacted parents, guardians, and grandparents through an appeal letter to request donations to this particular campaign.<\/p>\n
The auction is scheduled for April 5th<\/sup>, and we have been busy organizing the details. We plan to auction off some items from the science center, other relevant historical campus items, and business and community donations. We have sent an email invitation to approximately 6,000 people throughout Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio to come and support the auction. We are excited for the energy that the auction will generate.<\/p>\n Senators and executive officers have come together to make this campaign possible, and we love the ability to work on a more specific project. We will look forward to resuming regular SGA activities next fall, but will ensure that we properly document this event to make something of this scale possible in the future.<\/p>\n Senate Business <\/b><\/p>\n Noteworthy agenda items from the semester have included:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Executive Business<\/b><\/p>\n In addition to the Student Science Center Campaign, SGA executive officers have been working to ensure some other initiatives occur this spring.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Christine Baer and Carissa Harnish<\/p>\n SGA Co-Presidents<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Student Government Association Report to the Board of Trustees\u2014 Spring 2014 The Student Government Association started this spring semester by welcoming new members and garnering excitement for the events to come.
