Enhancing the student experience and working for the students are just some of the responsibilities of a member of Student Government. Organizing events to bring together the community has been the top priority on the Student Governments list of things to do.
The Student Government, which relays information from the faculty and staff to the students, has been working hard to increase student involvement and raise class spirit. Each class has organized numerous events around campus to achieve this goal.
Starting with the freshman class, the Class of 2009 has definitely proven themselves campus-wide. The Freshwear sales, where freshman can buy clothes to represent their class spirit have definitely been a success. The Class of 2009 has also organized a recycling program, as well as fundraisers on campus such as "You got Shu'ed."
The Class of 2008 has definitely had a busy year and plans to further their success within the student body as well as the class as a whole. President Amanda DeMatteis, along with the Class of 2008 board has been busily organizing events such as the Kickball Tournament taking place on April 2, as well as the raffling off of a $100 American Express Gift Check, also taking place on April 2.
With the summer just around the corner, the sophomore class is also selling towels, flip flops, beach bags and footballs in an effort to spread school spirit even throughout the summer months.
"2008 has been busy. Everyone should come down to the kickball tournament. It's going to be a blast and teams could win $180 to Joe's American Bar & Grille," says DeMatteis, sophomore, Hamden.
A huge Class of 2007 event is also occurring on April 3. Mr. SHU, which is possibly one of the most popular and anticipated events on campus. Packing the Edgerton Theatre, Mr. SHU attracts the students, faculty and staff to enjoy a comedic evening of the quest to determine the most charming and talented man at SHU.
"Last year, I went to the Mr. SHU competition and had a blast. I think that it is awesome the students put on this events because it definitely brings together the student body. I'm looking forward to this year's Mr. SHU to cheer on my best guy friend," Francesca Grasso, sophomore, Northford.
Along with Student Government, the Student Events Team (SET) has also been busy in occupying the students. With weekly events, ranging from comedians, movies, bingo and the much anticipated Black Eyed Peas and Pussycat Dolls concert on April 26, there is no excuse for any student to be bored on campus.
"We have a lot of great things going on in student government this semester and the more involvement the better," says DeMatteis. With all of the activities offered to students on campus, there is no reason for students not to join in. The class boards are working hard to raise participation in events, so show your school spirit and get involved.
