What has the ASG been doing...

The Commuter

Thursday, November 20, 2008

As we approach the end of fall term many students have asked me, “What has the Associated Student Government been up to and what are they doing for students?” I felt like this is a great time to let everyone know what ASG has been doing for the last nine weeks. Before most students returned to Linn Benton Community College, many of the ASG members were here planning for our voter registration drive. With the help of many faculty and staff members, we were able to register 607 students to vote for the Presidential election. We finished up voter registration on October 14th, and immediately transitioned into voter education on October 15th, starting with ballot measure presentations. As the voter education part of our drive came to an end, it was time to remind students to get out and vote! As a team, the ASG was able to put on three different events that coordinated with voting. While all this was going on we were also able to put on an amazing club fair with lots of help from many of the clubs on campus!

At the beginning of the year the ASG sat down and went over issues that we felt were very important to the students at LBCC. The two major issues that the ASG felt directly impacted students and would be our two main goals to tackle this year are text book prices and sustainability. In weeks to come the ASG Vice President, Patric Pici, and Student Services and Education Representative, Kim McAloney, will be letting you know about our progress on each of these goals.

I personally feel that the one of the most exciting projects we are working on this term is something we are calling “Study Jam,” which will be held December 6th and 7th from 9AM to 9PM. To find out more about “Study Jam,” be sure to read next week’s ASG update!
