Welcome new students!
Orientation is in full swing and plenty of new Southern students are visiting the site. So, whether new or old, welcome! The Student Government Association acts as a governing body of the students, as well as a liason between the student body and the administration. However, we’re more than just that. We’re student leaders who improve the college experience for every student—including themselves.
We’re always looking for new, motivated members willing to think big and make things happen. Southern gives us the resources to tackle almost any challenge, all we need is ideas. Our meetings are Fridays at 1:00pm in the Adanti Student Center room 201. Feel free to drop by, talk to us, or just pop in to say hi.
This past Wednesday (March 18th) a delegation from our Student Government Association went to Hartford to lobby for the interests of Southern Connecticut State University students. The event, organized by Western Connecticut State University, feature mainly faculty and administrators. Our delegation (Cody Quinn, chair of Student Issues, Thomas Hils, Brian Pedalino, and Pete Yazbak) tried to bring a purely student perspective to the bargaining table. Overall, it was a successful event that gave us some insight to the workings of our state government and allowed us to get our message out there to our legislators, and in a time of financial crisis it is important to make our voices heard and our stance clear.
