The Student Government Association has revamped its opportunities for freshmen. This year is the debut of the Freshman Leadership Council, the first opportunity for incoming students to become active in Lipscomb’s SGA.
The purpose of the Freshman Leadership Council is to allow freshmen to be trained to be leaders on Lipscomb’s campus, not just for SGA, but all facets of leadership. The council members shall also serve as the voice of the freshmen class of Lipscomb University in the Senate, acting as freshmen senators.
There are five positions available, but there are other opportunities to be active in SGA as well.
The position does have some requirements. One must have a high school GPA of 2.5 or higher and then attend the SGA Retreat on August 27-28, 2010. During the school year, the student is responsible for attending weekly meetings on Tuesdays beginning at 7:00 p.m. and completing one office hour each week in the Student Government Office.
The due dates coincide with the freshman orientation schedule, so be sure to know what Advance is coming up. The due dates are: the second Advance is noon on Tuesday, July 20th, 2010, and the third Advance is noon on Tuesday, August 17th, 2010.
Also, the SGA created a website to keep the student body up to date on their activity as well as a hub for senators and council members. Visit the website and apply for Freshman Leadership Council.
