Letter from the President

Dear Metro Students,

Sometimes as sfudents we are so busy running around earning a living, doing research, racing to classes,and taking care of our families that we hardly get enough time to breathe. As students, we come to Metro for various reasonsand we take part in our education in a variety of ways. As a student who is fairly new to Metro, I have leamed what this school and the people in it can do for me and what I can do for Metro. A little over a year ago, I stepped onto this campus for the first time and felt lost. I had recently graduated from Arapahoe Community College and knew that I could handle it, but I felt overwhelmed by the size of Metro. Not knowing a soul on campus,I stayedfairly quiet in my classes,and spent much of my time reading in the library for most of my first semester.When I looked up from my books, however, I started to seethat the campus community was all around me. Both studentsand faculty seemedexcitedabout being here, and slowly but surely I was pulled in by their enthusiasm.There is so much happening at Metro that even I as the Student Body President only know the half of it. We are your Student Government Assembly, a grouP of students furthering the magic that every student who seb foot on this campus feels. We are composedof both traditional and non-traditional students:Parents, athletes,professionals,and activists.We work as a team to addressstudent concernsand issues,and we take our positionsvery seriously. This year has been great for Metro sfudents. We have been successful, creatingstrong relationshipswith our faculty, administration, alumni, and state representatives,and have carried the Metro student voice to the highest levels of our college administration and state governmment. Higher education is a dynamic issue in Colorado, and in order for our education to remdn a positive experience,we must continue to make our voice heard. To do this, we must know about the issues facing us. This newsletter is an attempt to educab you about some of the important issue facing you asa student. We want to allow you to becomefamiliar with a group of your peerswho are taking action. Included is information about eventsthat the Student Govemment wanb you to get involved in. It is our hope that no matter why you are a sfudent at Metro, or what your schedulelooks like, you can find the time to read our newslefterand begin to understand the possibilities and magic that comes along with being a Meho student. As your Sfudent Government we are here to addressyour needs.Stop in and tell us what WE CAN DO FOR YOU. Sincerely

The Great and GroovyStudent GovernmentExperience

{

When I was approache-d last year by an involved student who was always making class announcements, I wondered what she had in storc for me' She voiced the sufgestion that I run for Student Govemment on her ticket. At that time in my accumulated file of college life and experience I had not one document on student govemment except for what Brandon went through as Student Body President on 90210.So, with my limited idea of Student govemment, I agreed. Now almost a year later, I am looking back and writing this essay to try to communicate whai student government has done for me, and what it can and should do for all the students who want to be involved and even those who just want to listerl Student govemment is a community builder and once a community is built it gives a voice to that community. This year's student government "focus issues" from the September 14, 2000Agenda were: Goals: 1. Dispel APathY 2. Build a Community 3. Be proactive. 1. Passthe Bond Fee 2. FacilitateAccessfor Night Students 3. Get word out about SGA. Dispelling apathy and maintaining a student voice is a double role for student government to play, which requires work on more than one front at a time. Atthough ttrey are not the same, these two roles are interlocked. A community builder that Student Govemment Assembly,(SGA) participated in this year was AIDS Walk Colorado. This was done by promoting the walk, participating in the walk and by tabling on carnpus for a week to recruit students io join in thi watk. This activity enabled our student rePresentafivesto be helping in the fight against AIDS and at the sarnetime become known and connected to the campus, other students, and people in the walk. The Auraria Team raised $15,00 this yeaq,thanks to all who participated. An example of the strengthening of the student voice is committee work. Through this opportunity the student voice is heard by administration and faculty advocating student perspectives. The VP of Academic Affairs is on many committeei as the student voice. The committees of B.A.S.E, which makes decisionsabout academicstandardsequivalency,Grade Appeals Committee, and the Academic Policy Advisory Committee, which advises academic policy, are the some of the committees attended in which the student goverrunent member, and so the students, have a direct voice or vote. Since the B.AS.E. and Grade Appeals Committees are confidential, I will use the Academic Policy Advisory Committee as an example. This semester,this committee was working on the rewriting of the Grade Appeal procedure to make it less hassling for the students, faculty, and all involved. As a member of this commitEe I was able to bring to the table concems for the students about how the policy would affect the students. BecauseI was a member of the group I got to help resolve any conllicts for the shrdenb in the policy that we recommended. Altemating back to the community building aspectof student govemment I will mention the mural contest, which was sponsored this year and invite everyone to come to the office in Tivoli 307 to see the work in Progrcssby student Jessica Rouch. On the subject of student voice, another example of activities of SGA would be the Bond Fee. The Bond Fee was an issue voted on the year before we were in office and Metro students passed it- Due to events not controlled by Metro, the bond fee was killed by the higher ups, the powers that be, etc. This semester,SGA S.A.C.A.B.representativesfought hard to get the vote back to campus becauseof SGA irutitutional memory and duty to be the voice of Metro students. Our student govemnent worked very hard to make sure the voice of Metro students would not be ignored. The passing of the bond fee involved the Auraria Child Care Center, the Tivoli Student Union, and the Auraria Events Center, and of course for all you interested students extensive notes are avaiLable.The bond fee passed the second time like the first time and the Metro Student voice was heard. There are so many other functions that this student govemment strives to offer. Student govemment is a râ&#x201A;Źsource for students with questions or problerns or for students who want to get involved. Student govemment has many issues and many commitbes that need student involvement. There is the issue of the discontinuance of the African American Studies, which student government has a committee working agains! there are also the legislative issues that student govemment ie working towards, such as Metro having its own govemance board' There are events planned to connect students and the campus together. Student govemment has a lot to offer all those who corte into contact with it, as does each person who comes into contact with student govemment. Tivoli Student Union is not iust a name - it is what we make it. Your Metro Student Govemment office is located in , Tivoli 307 and is open for you. Come in and get involved, informe{ or into, in your own special way, the great and groovy student government experience.It may be different than what you saw on 90210 but isn't everything?And in the end aren't you glad it 2? The objectives were:
