Welcome Week

It's our first week back at school, and we've been kicking off our first semester as the newly reformed student government in true BSC style. Yesterday was our annual Welcome Week Cookout and we had over 400 people come through our line for brats and dogs, which is a much higher turnout than many previous years. We also changed up our radio remote that we typically have and invited our very own BSC MYX radio station to come and spin some tunes for us. We had interviews with athletes, professors, coaches, and activities advisers to let students know what we have to offer at BSC.

Today we have more great stuff lined up. We have informational meetings scheduled throughout the day for freshmen who are interested in running for our open Senate seats. We had 6 people pick up applications yesterday, so hopefully today we have at least that. It would be awesome to have a real race this fall for Student Senate! We also have a hypnotist show scheduled at 8pm with Sailesh. Students won't want to miss out a show that always pleases and entertains the students.

Finally, tomorrow we have our very popular Create-A-Critter event where students can come and stuff an animal with a little love and take it home with them. Lions, t-rex, hippos, and dogs are the choices this time around.

If you want to learn more about SGA or have concerns about campus, stop by the office, which is open every school day from 12pm to 4pm.
