SGA encourages students to join SAC

Students have encountered many different forms of encouragement to join both SAC and Student Senate across campus and on the Portal. Both have strongly encouraged first years to apply.
"As the largest programming body on campus, SAC offers various events to all students," LeeAnn Scherbauer, SAC Chair said.
"As a member of SAC, first years help plan and execute these events. Different leadership skills are gained from being a member of SAC, and it is a great way to meet people," Scherbauer said.
In addition to hosting different events on campus, such as Muskies After Dark, Late Night Movies and a major concert on campus, members of SAC also have the opportunity to attend different leadership conferences throughout the year.
SAC also wants new members to help achieve specific goals for this year, which include hosting a vast array of collaborative events with other clubs on campus, helping to involve students in the choosing of a major concert artist and to serve studentsby hosting programs students will be interested in attending.
First years also have the opportunity to join the Student Senate.
"Joining the Student Senate will allow [students] to get an inside look at the university and its administrators," Senate Coordinator Needom Mitchell said.
"We have 20 positions on the senate and four of those are reserved for first year students to join in the fall. We are specifically seeking first years [because] they have a new and different perspective on the university than upperclassmen do, they allow us to better represent an important population on Xavier's campus, and because we need leaders for the years to come to keep SGA a vibrant part of the university community."
Sophomores and juniors can apply for SAC and run for Student Senate in the spring. SAC is also having a second selection for all students this fall due to unforeseen vacancies. More information is to follow.
