West Campus’ Student Government continues to play a vital role in the improvement of student life on campus.The 17-member organization, based in an office at the back of the Student Center, meets every other Friday or Wednesday to plan and discuss upcoming events and ways to improve student life on campus.
Their main purpose is to give a voice to the students so that their thoughts and concerns are not overlooked, as well as to give them the opportunity to share their opinions and make things happen.
Their motive is to make students feel more like a family and to get them more active and involved in the campus community.
Wendy Yang, West Campus Secretary Correspondent of Student Government, says her “personal goals are to inform students that there are fun things to do here. I wanted to get people to participate and get involved.”
When asking West Campus Student Government Vice President and District Student Governments Chairman of District Events Scott Dennis about his personal goals in Student Government, he state, “I wanted to better the relationship of the students and the school they attend.”
To become a member of Student Government, a student would have to get 25 signatures of fellow students who support the student’s addition to Student Government and then be voted in by the current members.
Recent events hosted by the Student Government include a Native American Heritage Celebration on November 9, Voice Of A Veteran on November 11, Lunch With a V.P. on November 16, and Coffee House on November 17.
