On Monday April 5, the Student Government Association welcomed Emily Eldridge to present the Gary Chapman request. Eldridge spoke to students about the power of an idea and how it can mobilize people to accomplish amazing things. She discussed topics from Harry Truman and the media, to the passing of environmental laws in the government all because of someone’s powerful ideas.
Students were encouraged to always keep in mind, while working in government, what the American people care about. These suggestions and ideas can be used to help better the SGA of Lipscomb and the students that make up the student body.
Other topics discussed at the meeting were the upcoming elections for the new executive officers of Lipscomb’s SGA, The Bachelor of Ugliness and Miss Lipscomb Nominations and the American Red Cross blood drive on campus.
SGA is constantly striving to make the Lipscomb experience better. From influencing policy change like open-visitation, to fighting for capital investments like recycling, to voting on money requests by campus organizations, SGA is looking for students who want to help improve the campus.
Voting for the new executive office began online on Wednesday, April 7th at midnight and continued until Thursday April 8th at midnight. Senate elections will begin next week.
SGA is also partnering with the American Red Cross in a blood drive on April 7th and 8th. The donation center will be in the student activities center from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm. All students are encouraged to go to the American Red Cross website and make an appointment to donate.
