Radin, Radin, Radin!
If you missed the big concert, one of the major things SGA did, along with
CAC, was bring Josh Radin to Lehman stage. It drew nearly 500 people for
a fun evening of music. Big thanks to Doug Wandersee for his epic
coordinating abilities. Also on the concert kick, we helped bring in
Hadestown, a folk opera by Anais Mitchell, along with various other
departments.
In our continuing efforts to boost school spirit, we’ve been throwing
t-shirts at basketball and volleyball games, as well as a raffle at half
time for free EMU gear for students (special thanks to Sarah Beck and Matt
Dean). We also organized a food drive to benefit Patchwork Pantry–thanks
to Peyton Erb for her leadership.
Last Tuesday was the Join a Club Party in Common Grounds, where the USO
(Union of Student Organizations) created a space for clubs to get their
word out and encourage students to join. We hope this spring gathering of
clubs can be a annual event.
Other SGA happenings:
-Helping Maplewood students move into the renovated Elmwood
-Funding Peace Fellowship to the Intercollegiate Peace Conference, and
Sustainable Food Initiative to the Food and Farming Conference at
Laurelville, PA.
-Working with Campus Life and EMU Security to respond to safety concerns
on campus
-Volunteer at the Calling and Career Day, shout out to Amy Springer and
Jen Litwiller for making this event happen
SGA is also beginning to work with a Strategic Plan as we dream and vision
for how the SGA could look in the future. And as always, our meetings are
open to everyone–Wednesdays at 9pm, UC 211/212.
Blessings during this mid-term week.
