The State of the (Lancer) Nation
The Grace College Student Government has been extremely busy this past week. One of the major projects has been club and organization approval which has been led by Rachel Israel who serves as the Senior Class Representative as well as the Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Clubs and Organizations.
Here is where we stand on club and organization approval:
Scribblous Company has been approved. I’m impressed with this organization’s mission to the Grace College campus and proud of their effort to find alternative funding through a grant. Senate looks forward to supporting them in any way possible.
Circle K Club has been approved and will continue to be an incredible asset to the communities of Winona Lake and Warsaw.
Young Americans for Liberty was approved. They will host several campus events and continue to raise political awareness on the Grace College campus.
Student Veterans Organization was approved. Senate is honored to partner with this organization in its effort to create one of the best Student Veteran Organizations in the region. This organization is a treasure at Grace College and an incredible resource to those who selflessly served our country.
Fellowship of Christian Athletes has been approved again this year to continue its mission to act as a resource to Grace College athletes as well as an outreach to Warsaw schools.
Rugby Club is an organization I’m ecstatic about Senate partnering with. Their first season occurred last year and Rugby Club proved popular with high attendance even in less than desirable weather. Rugby Club was approved by the Senate.
Grace Sports Management is an incredible organization and is important to Grace College, but I, and the subcommittee, have raised some concerns regarding Senate’s role in the amount of funding needed to keep the club operational as well as its overall mission. The club’s approval request was removed from the agenda and will meet again with our Subcommittee on Clubs and Organizations.
The Grace College Student Government also appointed committee members to several Senate Subcommittees.
JT Jacobson, the Junior Class Representative, will chair the Subcommittee on Campus Dining. The mission of this subcommittee is to hear students’ input on campus dining options and then funnel (I just used food imagery…get it!?) those concerns to the appropriate individuals.
Jackie Seal, the Sophomore Class Representative, will chair the Subcommittee on Campus Safety. The mission of this subcommittee is to organize the process for ticket appeals as well as serve as a liaison between the office of Campus Safety and the Student Body.
Kayla Salchert, the Freshman Class Representative, will chair the Subcommittee on Research. The mission of this subcommittee is to fully research campus projects as requested by the Grace College Student Government.
On behalf of the Grace College Student Government, we absolutely love representing you. Keep us up to date on your thoughts and ideas!
