President Rosalyn Hedgepeth was noticeably absent at this week’s SGA meeting. The meeting lasted only approximately 30 minutes, but several announcements were made.
Director of Academic Affairs Katherine Street announced that her branch would be creating forums for students to voice their opinions on the subjects that matter most at KSU. Collecting these opinions will serve the purpose of upgrading general student needs in various departments. When Street asked for suggestions from summit attendees, one SGA member mentioned that in
the sociology department there’s only one internship coordinator, suggesting her college increase coordinators. Another member suggested more options on how to finance study abroad. Those with other suggestions can contact the Department of Academic Affairs at directorstreet@ksusga.com or their SGA representatives in the SGA Senate office.
The senators of the College of Health and Student Services, Jensine Tomi and Elizabeth Thomas, are busy planning for the Owl Memorial, which will be held April 9 at 3:30 p.m.. The location is to be announced. Senator Tomi said the gathering will include “call[ing] out names of fallen owls,” or any of the deceased who were affiliated with KSU from recent years. Food and refreshments will be available.
Lashelle Benta, senator for residents, announced that a sex awareness event will be held on Friday in the University Rooms. The event will begin at 8 p.m. and is expected to end at around 11 p.m. Benta mentioned Sex Awareness will be “kind of like a sex appreciation night [with] sex games, information booths and an open forum for questions.” She said the questions can be anonymous, and the campus health clinic will be there to assist with the Q&A portion.
