What does Cincinnati chili, the Harlem Shake, Kentucky's Secretary of State, and Union College's SGA have in common? They all were present on our trip last weekend to the Kentucky Collegiate Leadership Conference at Northern Kentucky University. This conference is the first of it's kind that Union SGA has been a participant of in recent history. Brittany Burchfield (Vice President for Student Development), Andrew Long (Vice President for Business Affairs), and I hoped to find inspiration and feedback on how we can best serve students. While I still have not mastered the Harlem Shake, I do have some new ideas on how we can best serve you.
The first idea is to have a 24 hour study space. This space will be reserved for people who have late night study habits, need access to printers, and just a quiet space to meditate. Currently, no such space is available on campus.
The second idea is to have WiFi access for printers. This would allow students to have wireless connection from campus printers to their personal computers. Students would not have to worry about saving their work on a flash drive or e-mailing themselves to re-open files on a computer and print them in an academic building.
The third idea is to create a syllabus database for student access. This would allow students to view course information and teaching styles in choosing courses.
Union is also leading the way to create a Kentucky Council of Private Student Governments. This would allow student leaders from across Kentucky to communicate on important issues, and to share ideas in building stronger colleges and universities. We hope to continue fostering relationships with our colleagues, and we will continue working hard on behalf of students.
P.S. Try the three-way at Gold Star Chili, it is my favorite. Why don't we have one on Union's Campus?!
