Getting involved with Augsburg Day Student Government

I am always surprised when a student comes to tell me that they have no idea how to get involved with our student government. While we are always welcoming new people, there are many who only become engaged when something they don't like get involved. And we get accused of all kinds of things.

The truth remains the same: we are open and welcoming to everyone. You just need to approach us.

Here are a couple of things you can get involved in:

You are welcome to join every senate meeting of the school year. We meet every Wednesday at 7pm in the Century Room in Christensen Center.

Soapbox at the beginning of our senate meeting every Wednesday at 7pm. Email dirie@augsburg.edu to let her know when and the subject you will speak about. You get 7 mnts to do that.

Become a senator - email martinez1@augsburg.edu - we might have special elections in the next couple of weeks, so you might be able to run. You will need 30 signatures from students in your class (senior, sophomore, etc).

Concerns Committee - join this committee to help us solve things on campus. Email negron@augsburg.edu

Of course, all student organizations have something to do with student government. Join a student organization too!
