With the second ever Academic Forum sponsored by SGA coming up this evening, we were psyched!!! There was a huge hype across campus for the release of the January Term Courses. VP of Academic Affairs, Cynthia Paterson, answered ANY question that students had concerning the academics at the university and in particular, the J Term. [...]
Since I have been a freshman I have actively participated in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. This year was no different. I woke up this morning at 3:45am in order to be at Mizner Park for the 7th Annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Freshman year I walked and ever since then I have volunteered [...]

I am more enthusiastic than ever to have my meeting today with the president. I have been looking forward to this since the beginning of the semester. The main focus of this meeting is to bring up concerns that students have addressed at Student Government Association meetings. The agenda for the meeting is:
Students Voice [...]
For the past two years the SGA e-board has been invited to the State of the University address, but this year that was not the case. It was disappointing and discouraging as I passed the news onto my fellow e-board members. A university cannot operate without students. If every student decided they didn’t want to [...]

I don’t think that you can walk around with knowing who is running for Freshman Class Representative. The competitive election among Denzel Samuel and Omar Herrera is getting heated. Both of them were in the Student Center this morning planning last minute advertisement with sandwich boards, posters, banners, and more. For the past two years [...]

I had some original thoughts to run for SGA President, but I wanted to give an opportunity to other students that may want to establish a leadership position on campus. However, when I was informed that their [...]

So the cafeteria is new and improved. It has an additional grille station, a waffle station, and the chop salad/pizza/Panini station has been centralized. It has created a more open space in the cafeteria, but lunch today was ridiculous.
It was noon time and it was raining outside which probably increased the amount of people wanting [...]
I am not doing so well with these morning classes especially when SGA plans a meeting even earlier than my morning class. I had to be up at 7:30am this morning. It was a challenge. I didn’t get to sleep until 2am and I have been going non-stop since the first day of school. Monday, [...]
