Step Up For State

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the Step Up For State 2018 campaign. Our efforts raised thousands of dollars for the Susan Dudolski Memorial Scholarship and for the Student Emergency Fund.

At the request of President Trauth, a task force has been formed with the charge of creating a set of recommendations regarding Student Government. These recommendations will involve the discussion of: reviewing governing documents; marketing of Student Government to ensure a greater pool of student applicants in order to have a more diverse organization; and increase the number of students who vote during Student Government elections. This task force is composed of students, staff and faculty. Dean of Students Arellano will serve as chair and will meet on a regular basis starting September 7, 2018.
