From the SGA president
As Student Government president, I wanted to share with you how far student voices and opinions have changed the atmosphere of our school.
As students, we truly are capable of making a difference on campus and in the community. It is rewarding to see how working together allows us to reach common goals!
For instance, the collaboration between the SGA Food Committee, Sodexo dining services and all of the students who took the time to complete the survey that was recently sent out.
We look forward to hearing about the conversations and potential advancements that would benefit consumers of this industry.
We have seen a lot of students using their Beast Passes at Pico and Killington and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how successful the program has become.
Partnerships between SGA and recognized clubs have allowed the university to offer free fitness classes with times that are more convenient to students!
When I say, “come into the SGA Office at any time,” I mean it. I encourage you to keep the conversation between SGA and students like yourselves always open. We are always looking for more projects to work on, so please continue to fill out surveys and feel free to stop by the office anytime to talk to an SGA member.
Know that we are here to serve you, and we are more than happy to research and discuss the events and services you would like to see on campus!
