The freshman class has been hard at work this year, in an attempt to establish themselves as a full participating member of the University community. And they have succeeded.
During their first semester, freshmen members of student government did not let their "newbie" status or lack of experience hold them back.
"Class of 2009 is very busy. We recently launched a website which provides information about who we are, what we have done and what we are doing to continue making this a great year for Class of 2009," said Jason Guberman-Pfeffer, freshman class president, Stratford.
As class President, Guberman-Pfeffer led the 16 freshmen members of Student Government to accomplish all their primary goals of the first semester.
The class of '09 helped fundraise with Family Weekend Baskets, participated in the Homecoming Parade, co-sponsored Final's Week Free Massages, and worked with the student Senate on the "You Got SHU'd" community service project.
"Over 80 dorm doors where "SHU'd" and over $250 was raised to benefit the Julia Davis Foundation," said Guberman-Pfeffer.
In addition to assisting other campus groups with fundraising and community service, the freshman class also took on many projects of their own.
"We created various 'meet and greet' events in West Hall, including floor points and a raffle for a gift certificate to the mall," said Guberman-Pfeffer, "our goal there was to introduce Student Governement to the freshmen and gain their awareness and support."
Two major projects the class spearheaded last semester have also been set into motion. The first is a community service project that goes above and beyond their participation in the "You Got SHU'd" project.
They are working with The Green School Project and Professor Grant Walker to collect old print cartridges and cell phones.
"The idea sprang from the fact that the freshmen class is very concerned about the environment and is looking for tangible ways to put this consensus into action," said Guberman-Pfeffer.
