"I will be doing the things I care about the most," said Heather James as she signed up for the STARS Committee during the Student Government Association involvement meeting. James cited the reason for joining as her desire to go into the schools and help students with supplies and classwork.
On Thursday, September 8th, the SGA held the involvement meeting to encourage students to sign up for various committees. During the meeting, Jessica Firestone head of the SGA's Residence Life and Facilities stated her goals to have wireless Internet access in all the dorms and lower dorm fees. She also wants more visiting hours in the daytime.
Lindsey Crow, along with other members of the SGA's Concert Committee took surveys of music the students prefer. They will use the information to bring different groups in for concert night. Past acts have been Hootie and the Blowfish, Pat Green and Rascal Flatts.
Chauncey Slater, head of Constitution and Code, set his goal to help the student body understand the significance of the constitution. It helps the students know do's and don't's of the university and how to abide by the rules.
"The reason I joined Athletic Support Committee is because I was captain of the dance team in high school," sad Tiffany Deardorff. "I wanted a way to support my team at JSU."
The next on-campus event for the Student Activities Council is Family Day on October 15th. The purpose of the event is to allow the student body a chance to invite their family to JSU. It is a day of fun and activities for adults, students and children. Face painting and teddybear stuffers will be on-hand for kids. Sodexho is catering lunch.
