It’s not often that the Student Government Organization (SGO) gets praise for doing a good job. If anything, we never seem to think they do a good enough job. However, this year’s SGO is off on the right foot. With a new ad campaign to promote events and a new event mascot (Blanda the non-propaganda Panda), SGO has finally gotten the campus community involved in clubs and activities.
There is finally an active e-board that actually cares and works efficiently. No controversy. No gaffes. No stalling. It’s quite rare to see an active campus fighting to get involved with SGO, a true testament to their power and influence, but it’s happened. Not only have students gotten involved with clubs, elections, and events, a lot of club presidents have been giving nothing but praise for this year’s e-board.
Though we would love for them to talk to us one-on-one (they have a “gag” order forbidding members to speak on their own), SGO has been transparent in their intentions and their agendas.
Kudos to SGO for finally working together with clubs and finally functioning effectively.
One does beg to question, “Then again, isn’t that their job?”
