Student Orgs Connect Beyond the Bounds of Campus

I’ve mentioned before that being a part of your major’s student organizations is a really good thing for a lot of reasons: it plugs you in with your peers and professors, it opens doors for you in terms of job networking, it will frequently include an element of service that will build you up as […]

Student Government Association: The Quick and Dirty

 Comments Off on Student Government Association: The Quick and Dirty Tags: , , , , ,

I feel that it’s very fitting that I write my first post of the 2014-15 school year about the UW-Stevens Point Student Government Association, since it’s probably the only thing I seem like I care about. In all fairness, I did become a student blogger in great part to share what I experience in SGA. […]

Hey, CPS! I’m just checking in to do what I like to do at least yearly, which is to introduce the students, staff, faculty and supporters of our college to their student representatives through the Student Government Association. Especially in the case of College of Professional Studies students, I’d really like to help build an […]

Alternate Spring Break 2014: Minneapolis

 Comments Off on Alternate Spring Break 2014: Minneapolis Tags: , , ,

Although Spring Break ended nearly two weeks ago, it’s only now that I’ve made the time to write about what I did with mine. I mean, sure, a good deal of it was still wasted on Netflix and my Harry Potter re-read marathon—but the first half-week of it was spent someplace much more productive. This […]

Alright, so in the chronicle of my signing up for more and more things, I’ve written my love songs for my very first campus involvement, SPAFCS, and my third, the Cupboard. But the second thing I ever got involved in definitely merits mention, because it’s one of the most phenomenal campus resources for ANY STUDENT […]

Coming up really soon is election season (March 7-13). You’ll be voting on the 2014-15 SGA President and Vice President, selecting who you want to represent you on the Senate, and, among a few other things, VOTING IN A HUGE IMPORTANT REFERENDUM. I’m gonna try to say some things about that which I hope will […]

Meet your CPS Senators

OK, so remember those five other times I’ve mentioned the UW-Stevens Point Student Government Association? Well, guess what I’m going to talk about right now. Crushed it. SGA again. (They in no way sponsor my writing and have nothing really to do with this post other than this post being about people who are in […]

Seriously, join SGA

 Comments Off on Seriously, join SGA Tags: , , ,

This past Friday, Valentine’s Day, was the deadline for 2014-15 applications for our Student Senate. The CPS turnout was weak! What is up with that? I mean, there weren’t as many applications in general as I would have hoped, but since I became a part of SGA we have had a very small caucus in […]

Campus Feature: The Cupboard student food pantry

 Comments Off on Campus Feature: The Cupboard student food pantry Tags: , , , , ,

One of the most popular associations with the phrase “college student” is “poor.” There’s a variety of reasons for this, but one of them is that while paying massive school bills, a lot of students try also to scrape by supporting themselves either on or off of campus. And in the case of many people—not […]

The down-low from SGA: Proposed parking structure

 Comments Off on The down-low from SGA: Proposed parking structure Tags: , ,

Alright. I’m gonna lay down some Student Government Association business on you right now. The first thing you need to know is that as a senator representing the student body, I do not have my own opinion about this. This isn’t an op-ed piece; I’m just making this information available to you all. All two […]
