THE VOICE OF THE our president... A LETTER FROM THE SGA PRESIDENT TO THE STUDENT BODY and myself wanted to accomplish thisyear. Here are the goals that we want to accomplish this academicyear: Our first goal is to finish up what SGA has started in the pastyears that still has not been completed such as the FM Radio Station and the Student Website. Second, SGA awareness we felt was very weak among the student population. We want to reach out to commuters and residents more—we need more outside involvement! Also, when people here "SGA" we want them to recognize and Know what the organization does. Third, we want to improve SGA internally :because without this then we won't be able to reach students as well. 'fourth. we want to have a strong Book sale to help students with financial needs in school. Fifth, we want to make students aware of THON, which is Penn State's 48-Hour dance marathon that helps kids with cancer. It is done :at University Park by the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council and is the biggest student run philanthropy in the world. Finally, we want to help improve the advising system for students so they are getting a better academic experience at Behrend. Currently, there is at least one committee that has been working hard and accomplishing much to reach these goals. We hope through these we will accomplish SGA's purpose and that is: ".... to give voice to the student body on opinions of academic and co-curricular ;to to support such academic and co-curricular activities that contribute :to the enhancement of the social and intellectual life of students; to represent the interests of the student body to the administration, faculty and staff; and to support the rights of students in all matters. In pursuit of these goals, we shall be dedicated to the principle of academic freedom and to the realization of the fullest possible education for the Behrend Student". I am very happy with all of the hard work that has been done by these students. I cannot wait to see what they will bring to SGA next semester—l look forward to it and I hopeyou do tool! Sincerely, Brandi Hovis 2001-2002 Student Government President our purpose... We, the governing body of The Behrend College student population, shall strive to give voice to the student body on opinions of academic and co-curricular affairs; to support such academic and co-curricular activities that contribute to the enhancement of the social and intellec tual life of students; to represent the interests of the student body to the administration, faculty and staff; and to support the rights of students in all matters. In :pursuit of these goals, we shall be dedicated to the prin ciples of academic freedom and to the realization of the fullest possible education for the Behrend student. What is SGA?? Well, as President of the Student Government Association, this is what I believe it is: A group of students elected by the student body that put a lot of time and dedication into helping and representing you in many aspects of your academic and social life at Behrend. As the semester has progressed, I believe SGA has been very active and successful in their goals as an organization. The senate has contributed so much to the goals that the Vice President of SGA What A paid advertisement from the Student Government Association WHO'S ON SGA? 411 it lei w iri or - : • .... , , , ..„ , . ; .r,,, Clint Lewis Vice-President . -t' *4 4 ' 'llOO l, \ ..
