So as I sit to write this, I have completed my time at JMU and am currently an alumni. The SGA has been a great organization for me, and I wish everyone gets the opportunity to understand what it is all really about. In life sometimes you don't understand what everything is because you don't give it a chance, and I beg of you to open your eyes and ears to your student representation strictly because they have some say in what seems to be important to your time at JMU. If you don't care to be heard, then don't care to listen.
Tommy Bluestine is the new Senate Speaker, Larson Thune is the president. Those are two of the figure heads of the SGA for next year. Find out who they are and look out for them, it can be worth your while...
In regards to covered business, contingency money ran out by the last meeting, and it was stock piled to something around $20,000 for next semester, so it shall be an intense and selective process for your group/organization to ask for contingency money. The program grants were handed out as well to 2 groups, and of course as you know FEB night was deemed complete and set for next years budgets. So the only thing left is the program and representation aspects of SGA, and for that I challenge the SGA members to find a way to appeal to students that might not care, because the ones who do care are generally opinionated...
The JMU experience is one that can never be repeated or replicated, it is unique in its own way and manner, so enjoy it while you have it. Tootles, I wish everyone at JMU next year the best of luck, pay attention to your lives and be mindful of your existence.
I have no idea what comes next for me, but I hope someone takes this blog and continues the work to sprinkle in a little awareness into the daily regimen of us students...
