It’s that time of year again… Mr. and Mrs. GCSU elections! With Homecoming only a weekend away, the fate of the future of Mr. and Mrs. GCSU is certainly in question. Are you interested in becoming Mr. or Mrs. GCSU? Apply to run for the prestigious position anytime before this coming Monday, Feb. 5. Have any questions? Come by the Student Government Association Office in the Student Activities Center today for more information.
SGA passed a bill this past Wednesday to allocate money to renovate the Greek benches on Front Campus, between Atkinson and Parks Hall. These benches, the property of some of the African American fraternities and sororities on campus, are in great need of repair, and SGA has made it possible to help the beautification of the GCSU Front Campus by giving these benches a new look. Be on the lookout for a new bench to sit on within the semester.
Are you afraid you won’t graduate on time? The topic of the graduation Commencement ceremonies that most graduates attend is now in question. Presently, a motion concerning Commencement specifications is on the floor of the GCSU University Senate. If passed, this motion will limit those students who have at least two or more classes to complete after the Commencement ceremony. Interestingly enough, this issue is on the floor the same year Georgia College decided to no longer hold a December Commencement ceremony. Sound crazy to you? SGA is looking into the matter, but we also need your help. Send your thoughts and views to student.government@gcsu.edu, and talk to you teachers, advisors, and administrators about how you feel. This could effect your walking in May.
Lastly, make sure to remember to participate in Homecoming on Feb. 10 in the Centennial Center. It is going to be big – and we want you there. See you then!
