Welcome to another exciting year at WVU! As we begin a new year, we have much to look forward to – an exciting football season, Fall Fest and Fan Fest, new and challenging classes, connecting with old friends and making new ones.
I want to use my blog to continue to lead the discussion with you – a discussion about our University, the issues we face as students, the next football game, the exciting election between Obama and McCain that is coming up, and all of the ways SGA is speaking up on your behalf.
Today, I’ve been helping new students move in. It’s been wonderful to meet so many great Mountaineers. One of the most special things about our University is the sense of community we have and the pride we all have in our University. Parents, new students, grandparents, everyone everywhere today seems to be wearing the flying WV.
As we begin the year, I encourage you to get involved on campus. Speak up on issues large and small. Become a part of the discussion. And get involved in the community. SGA has a partnership with the Center for Civic Engagement and I encourage you to find ways to give back to our community.
I am excited for another year. SGA is always here for you – to listen to your voice and to work hard to deliver real solutions. I’m committed to working hard on the issues important to all of us – transportation and safety, off campus living, and others. I hope to see you at Fall Fest on Monday night – and if you see me on campus, be sure to say hi. So, to get the discussion going – What are your first impressions of campus? What issues are most important to you now? What are you most excited about for this semester?
