SGA conducting second annual join week

October 11, 2019 by Andrew Toothman

From ACUSGA.com

The ACU Student Government is conducting a Join Week event for students that are interested in getting more involved in student organizations with the help of a new position on SGA.

The second annual Join Week began Oct. 7 and is a week long event designed to connect students to different organizations on campus and the Abilene community. Flyers were distributed around campus to show students what SGA will be doing to aid students in getting involved. 

SGA had a budget meeting last week. Lauren Wasson, senior political science major and student government president, said SGA talked about the 69 student organizations on campus, and how they would be able to fund those organizations. They decided to help over 65 organizations with their $50,000 budget.

“Join week which is an effort to bring awareness to what student organizations are available on campus,” Wasson said. “This is to encourage students as well. I remember when I was a freshman, I think we don’t always know what is out there to join in our communities on campus or in Abilene in general.”

SGA played a video  in Chapel on Oct. 11 to show students the organizations there are but also will send an email for students to get connected easily. Students can email join@acu.edu with the names of the organization they want to be involved in and information will be sent to them.

SGA created a new position of Director of Student Engagement and Improvement. Responsibilities of this position include expanding and assisting student organizations with marketing. The role is held by Daniel Sherman, a junior management major from Abilene.

SGA would like to change the personal relations with student organizations and use social media to expand its service to student organizations. It also wants to collaborate ideas and serve student organizations as much as possible.

My second year at ACU was full of opportunities that grew me as an individual and a journalist.

In my first year as editor in chief of @acuoptimist, we published six print issues, filmed a 3-hour live election show, and revamped our newscast, all while producing news weekly.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
