The State of the (Lancer) Nation
The year all of us, in one way or another, have been anxiously anticipating is finally here. The innovative changes that have been talked about by the Grace College administration for the past couple years are now in full swing.
Grace has been reimagined.
I am ecstatic about the opportunity to represent the ideas and concerns of the Grace College student body and guide the Student Government into a position in which it can act upon your ideas and concerns during the 2011-2012 school year. The Student Government is already hard at work.
- GraceFest for the Class of 2015 was an incredible success. I’m not basing that on the number of freshmen that showed up, but on the smiles on everyone’s face after playing tug of war in sauerkraut, jalapenos, and vinegar (among many other disgusting events).
- The Senate Subcommittee on Clubs and Organizations has been given clear direction that better fosters the creation of new clubs and organizations and allows the club approval process to be more efficient.
- Stricter attendance policies for members of the Grace College Student Government have been enacted.
- Inquired into Campus Safety’s rea- sons for purchasing a new vehicle.
- Named chairs to the subcommittees on clubs and organizations, campus safety and dining.
- Collaborated with BrandPoet on the creation of a new Student Government logo.
- Created a Facebook account as another avenue where you can con- nect with the Student Government (facebook.com/gracestudentgov)
This is just a taste of what the Student Government will be doing over the course of the year. Now we just need your ideas and concerns to act upon!
On behalf of the Grace College Student Government, we are excited to represent your ideas and concerns to the institution!
