A word from your local ASG

The Commuter

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

The start of a new term brings excitement and opportunity. It can also bring frustration and limited parking, but that is an article for another time. For now, I want to focus on the positive and take a moment to shed light on some activities that are up and coming around the campus this term.

The Associated Student Government is looking for officers for next year’s team. This is a great chance to serve your fellow students and college while improving social and office skills. Other benefits of being on the ASG include tuition grants and leadership training. And, in all fairness, let’s not forget that this sort of stuff looks pretty good on a résumé. Applications for candidacy are available in the Student Life & Leadership office. Elections will be held during the eighth week of this term (the week of Feb. 22-26).

Also occurring this term, the ASG will be hosting a round of informational forums for students and members of the community on Jan. 20 in the Forum Auditorium. These forums will be a chance for individuals to educate themselves on ballot measures 66 and 67 through a non-partisan, informational presentation. There is to be information and presenters in the auditorium from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. All are welcome.

(This is the part of being president that I really enjoy: when I get to use my position to express a personal opinion on a platform that I might not usually have access to. And if you are opposed to or offended by this, to you I say: Fight the power! Voting is an important part of being an active and responsible citizen. I will never speak ill of someone who votes against me, so long as they vote.)

For more information about events on campus and around the community, stop by the Student Life & Leadership office for a copy of the student activity calendar. Also, be sure to check out the online version on the LBCC homepage.
