A Message from the Editor
Student Government's (SG) main purpose is to provide a voice for students and promote involvement in student organizations. Their current goal is to help increase participation at Walsh events. As well as to, instill the importance and reward of attending such unique events through support, publication, and student interaction. Long term, they plan to coordinate at least one small event each semester, a large social event in the fall, and a philanthropy event in the winter.
Last month they held a Public Speaking workshop, which was hosted by Maggie Katz. She shared real-life scenarios, explained how to overcome common public speaking fears, and ways to prepare for varying audience sizes. Event attendee and SG Secretary Jennifer Jenks said, “My favorite tip of the workshop was the idea to plant someone in the audience who can provide signals when you are talking too fast or too quiet.”
They are also in the process of purchasing a popcorn machine which will be available to all Student Organizations for use at their events. Derek Baker, President of Student Government said, “The popcorn machine will give the student body a reason to check out the student organizations at our marketing events such as Welcome Week. It is an investment we feel is a benefit for the student organizations and the students, a win-win. We feel this is the right approach to using our budget and we plan to make similar investments in the months to come.”
I encourage you to get involved and participate in their events. When I was a student I was involved with Student Government. It was a great way to meet other students. Plus, it gave me an opportunity to gain leadership skills. One specific project I remember is implementing televisions for the Troy campus cafeteria. A team of us came up with a business plan, researched options, and presented it to the officers. It was a great learning experience and very beneficial for my career.
If you have feedback or comments, visit the Student Government web page for details.
Sincerely,
