As students, our experiences, ideas and leadership have significantly shaped Heritage into the University it is today. As SGA president, I will enhance this foundation that those before us have worked so tirelessly to create as well as empower our student body to meaningfully contribute in building an even better student experience , promoting new ideas and developing leadership for those to

As a student affairs practitioner I believe I am a cornerstone of the higher education experience. I have made it my mission to help students be the best version of themselves for the benefit of not only them, but of society at large. I work to help create not only educated students, but also engaged members of a global society.

Being a student at Selma High School, I continued to stay out of trouble and remain focused. Also, I decided to become a member of SGA (Student Government Association).Being a member of SGA I knew that this would be an opportunity for me to stay out of trouble and focus on my schoolwork. As I continued being a member of SGA, I enjoyed helping others and putting my ideas in activities. Another thing that I did while being in SGA, was that I ran for secretary. The secretary makes sure that everyone is on time and in order.

My passion towards working with students every day has led me to the decision of pursuing a doctoral degree in Student Affairs in Higher Education at Miami University. I have chosen this program to prepare myself for a future role as a professor or a senior level college administrator. This program will allow me to become more proficient within the students’ educational experience and therefore better engage students in active learning.

Associated Students provides a direct outlet to change the lives of the students and faculty here at UCSB, with creating lasting impacts on the decisions made. Focusing my energy towards a positive impact. Using my peers thought and concern to help usher in the future of UCSB and the community around it. This also gives me the opportunity to view how each branch of government interacts with each other directly as it occurs. Along with that it will give me an the chance to meet like minded individuals to are as driven and hard working to make a lasting impact on the school.

Higher Education between 1945 and 1970 was known as the “Golden Age” and SPPV (1949) came right at the beginning of this era (Thelin & Gasman, 2011). In 1945 the federal government used the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act (GI Bill), to offset the pressure of hundreds of thousands returning war veterans into a job market that was not able to handle them all (Thelin & Gasman, 2011). The GI Bill provided a policy for increasing the diversity of student at both colleges and universities (Thelin & Gasman, 2011). The influx of students stressed many campuses because they did not have enough faculty and staff to accommodate the students as well as the physical environment to house all the students (Thelin & Gassman, 2011). The stress involved with the increase of students even further shows the need for SPPV (1949) pushing the separation between student services staff and faculty, because faculty simply did not have the time to advise and work with every new student now enrolling in the higher education system. Parker (1978) shows that during the 1960’s most colleges and universities had whole divisions dedicated to student affairs professionals, which were not present in the past and directly reflective of SPPV (1949). SPPV (1949) laid out 17 services of a student personnel program that became divisions by the 1960’s (Parker, 1978).

Ms. Kayana Janae Millie, is the president of the Student Government Association (SGA) for East Tennessee State University. Her office is the official line for communication between Faculty, Staff, and Administration as well as source for accessing BUC fund for students travel and programs for the student government. Coordinating homecoming each Fall, Civility series each spring and major concern and event throughout the year.

My last involvement with SGA was when I was a senator. As a senator, I held various town halls that had a high number of participants from students and teachers. I engaged the students in various topics in those town halls, such as what we could do to make the school of business better? How we can implement what we learned in

Hello! My name is Ja’Quayla Baker. I would like to describe one of the memorable days in my life. I am a student at Blue Ridge Job Corps, which is a trade school. This is an all-girls’ school. Being in a school full of females can be difficult. In my case, it was very difficult. I felt left out, depressed and lonely. However, Blue Ridge has a group called SGA, which stands for Student Government Association. I learned about the various positions that were open and I was interested in getting involved.

My name is Andrew String and I am a freshman majoring in Government and Politics and a CIVICUS associate. I was interested in perhaps joining in a committee group for SGA and I was directed to email you. I have done my research and was interested in the Student Affairs committee. Before committing I was wondering what kind of time commitment the Student Affairs committee is and where they would meet.

I know SCA is looking for women who are confident, outspoken, and have integrity. People have recognized me as a leader, and I believe that I can bring these qualities to the program. I’m very assertive when it comes to stating my opinions. Even if there is a possibility of me being incorrect, I’ll take the risk and voice out my beliefs. However, that does not mean that I overlook others or disregard what others think. I believe that everyone has a voice, and that voice must be shared.

I believe that they both had 3 committees a peace with representatives from all over campus and the university. I also liked that the SGA president was present at the University Senate Meeting because it showed his responsibility to the student body and his duty to the University itself. Other similarities include that they had several Ad Hoc committees working on various policies at that time and while they didn’t all report. I think they reflected each other in way. I think that both the SGA and the University Senate care very much about what’s going on at Ball State and they want to make it the best they can for as many people they can. The biggest difference as I mentioned before was the SGA was much more unorganized than the University Senate. I felt that University Senate understood what was going to happen at their meeting and wanted to get through it without a bunch of unnecessary arguing and in fighting. The SGA seemed more relaxed but didn’t have a very concrete notion of time because several of their speakers and topics went too long for their allotted time. The SGA also had a ‘7 minute’ break. The SGA was also made up of students while the University Senate was made up of faculty and staff of the

Zuckerman has been in contact with other university student government presidents and she has noticed that UISG is really empowered and historically they have not taken advantage of that to bring the most change possible. UI administrators have been making strong efforts towards diversity now more than ever before and Zuckerman is trying to set the foundation for the present and the future. Moving forward. “This is the time that student leadership matters more than anything. Students should not underestimate their power, not in politics and not on this

It was during the 1920’s where the Student Affairs profession got national coverage. In 1924, the National Association of Appointment Secretaries (NAAS) was founded (Gordon, 2015). It was the Precursor to the ACPA, American College Personnel Association. NAAS renamed National Association of Personnel and Placement Officers NAPPO was founded in 1929. Which led up to the Student Personnel Point of View in 1937. This was a guiding document for Student Affairs Professions. It stated that, “one of the basic purposes of higher education is the preservation, transmission, and enrichment of the important elements of culture the product of scholarship, research, creative imagination, and human experience” (The Student Personnel Point of View, 1937, p. 1). They wrote in this report that the colleges and universities are responsible for those elements to take place as well as other educational purposes that would assist the student in developing to their limits. They were tasked with helping the student realize their potential in making contributions to the betterment of society.

Upon identifying programs available on various college campuses as they relate to first year students; it has become noticeable that university leaders are concerned with the retention of students within their first and second year of college. Therefore many universities have developed programs that are focused on the success of the freshman student and ensuring that group of students’ matriculations throughout their degree programs. As quoted in “The Dynamics of Organization in Higher Education (Kuh, 1996) “the frequent and increasingly predictable accusation that institutions of higher education operate in “silos” is based on their various schools, colleges, and athletic programs operating in parallel with one another, more focused on promoting than on adhering to or accomplishing broader institutional
