The Student Government Association (SGA) would like to welcome everyone to the Spring 2017 school semester!
The SGA worked hard last semester to create an inclusive and supporting atmosphere for all PVCC students, and they hope to continue to do that this semester. One way they are planning to engage students is through their Spring events.
On April 14, at 7 p.m., the SGA will be hosting their 2nd annual talent show on the main stage of the Dickinson building. The auditions will be held from March 13-31, with times to be announced closer to the date. Auditions can also be submitted through PVCC’s website, pvcc.edu. This is a great opportunity for students to show off their talents to their colleagues and peers!
One new event the SGA will be hosting is an educational seminar called Understanding Religious Diversity and Tolerance. This event will be held on Feb. 24, from 4-7 p.m.
Also in February will be the Town Hall meeting, where students will be able to directly talk to the president and vice-presidents of PVCC. The event is scheduled for Feb. 8, during college hour.
Spring Fling will be held on April 19, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is always a fun-filled event, meant to bring students, faculty, and staff together for an afternoon of fun and food!
Another new SGA and Marketing & Media Relations Office sponsored activity is a weekly social media contest. Students can participate by taking pictures of the topic for that weeks contest and posting the picture on their personal social media accounts using the hashtags for that week. “Prizes will be awarded to the first five people to enter and for best photo,” according to an article on PVCC’s website.
The SGA is also looking for students who would like to join their club and volunteer their time to events. An application is available at PVCC’s main campus. You are required to have a GPA of 2.5 and be a current PVCC student.
