SGA Beat: Campus Reports

HAW 

The Student Government Association will participate in Homelessness Awareness Week 2012 events, which kicked off Oct. 8 with an introductory conference in the Student Center. The week will conclude with the 42-hour sleep-out event from Oct. 11 at 6 p.m. to Oct. 13 at midnight. Students will take on the roles of homeless individuals and must find shelter and food while maintaining outside commitments such as school and work. Faculty, staff and students will also play the roles of police, court personnel and social service workers in a mock arrest and trial. All events and information can be found at https://web.kennesaw.edu/csl/ haw.

LGBTIQQA Awareness 

The Student Safe Space program is designed to educate students and staff about the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, Questioning and Ally community and create a comfortable, informed and safe environment for individuals of all sexualities and gender identities on campus. The program has four more training sessions this semester, which will help familiarize students with LGBTIQQA perceptions, identities, laws and resources. More information and the training schedule can be found at www.kennesaw. edu/safespace/student.

Dining Changes 

Previously On the Fly, the Commons take-out service, will be relocated to the Student Center. The new location will afford more space and food and a more efficient take-out system. Students will pay a one-time $5 cover charge for a food container. Everything else is operated like the Commons except students can leave with food in their container.

Presidential Report 

The Meet the President event last Wednesday was a success. Almost 200 students got the chance to meet Dr. Daniel S. Papp and other faculty on the Campus Green. Based on positive feedback, the event is scheduled to return next year.

SGA Webisode 

The Student Government Association will host a recurring “webisode” that will keep students and staff up to date on SGA events, news and other information. The video features SGA senators and is located on SGA’s Facebook page.
