Get
Involved
SGA needs to hear from students
Residence
hall representatives will be elected this Thursday to serve
for the House of Student Representatives.
This is
an opportunity for students to get involved.
All TCU
students pay fees that go to the Student Government Association.
Wouldn’t you like to know where exactly your money goes
and how it is being spent?
Invest
your precious time to get involved with SGA.
Make that
investment worthwhile.
Go to
meetings and, most importantly, voice your opinion.
It’s
easy to sit back and criticize an organization for not getting
more accomplished each year. It’s even harder to take
part in that organization. One way to hold our student government
accountable is for students to actually show up and do something.
Even if you don’t want to be a representative, go the
meetings each Tuesday and learn about the issues on campus.
The meetings are open for a reason. Besides, being more knowledgeable
about TCU is worth that investment?
If that
doesn’t persuade you, think of it this way: Committees
always need committee members. There are several remaining
committees to choose from. Whether your interest is in Dining
Services or Academic Affairs, take the time to actually ask
the questions you’ve always wanted the university to
answer.
Isn’t
there something in the back of your mind that you’ve
always wanted the answer to? Don’t just accept the fact
that you don’t know and move on. Haven’t you ever
heard the saying that the only dumb question is that one that
doesn’t get asked?
Permanent
Improvements chairwoman Chelsea Hudson said a goal for the
House this year is to increase communication.
“The
House is striving to create a presence on campus and a strong
link of communication between the students and the elected
representatives,” Hudson said.
“When
that happens, things will start to fall into place.”
It’s
time to start communicating.
Make the
time to create that link between students and elected representatives.
It’s the only way you’ll get your money’s worth.
