Such A BusyBody!!

Greetings Ladies!..oh and Gents!!

I must say it seems like forever since I spoke with you guys! My life has become of whirlwind of various activities including Dimensions of Learning requirements, fall break, midterms and this week, our CENTENNIAL HOMECOMING! =]

I absolutely can't forget the wondeful privilege we had to have the great Dr.Patricia Russell-McCloud, an internationally acclaimed orator and author, come and speak with us Tuesday, October 13. She spoke of an EDUCATION UPGRADE, and stated "It's better to have too much then not enough [Education]!"

Also, last week consisted of MIDTERMS, MIDTERMS, MIDTERMS!!..Eventhough I stressed, hemmed and hawed about them, I did well on them all. Two claps for me! As I mentioned above,Dimensions of Learning, its a required course of all NCCU students. It's by no means hard, but it's definately not a class you can procrastinate in!! The course consists of creating a business portfolio, and attending a numerous of on campus events!

And lastly, Homecoming is this week so there will be a plenty of stories to tell! Speaking of that, this homecoming is celebrating our university's 100th year, and it has started off wonderful and full of excitement!!..

Elections!!!

Greetings All!

Since last week I knew that this week, I was going to discuss the AggieEagle Classic. But wrong! Eventhough the game was marvelous and we were defeated by the Aggies, we had an ever so close win.

With 2 overtimes, the Aggies finally took us down by a touchdown. So we win some, and we lose....all..noo.j/k!!! We're hanging in there!

But more importantly I wanted to bring to your attention the SGA elections, and sort of inform you on the process of the elections. As a freshman, you have the choice to obtain Freshman Class President, Freshman Class Vice President, Class Secretary and also the most significant title of them all, Mr. or Miss. Freshman! To obtain a position, you must go through a sequence of events and complete different tasks.

Beginninng with attending the interest meeting, all candidates interested in running must attend this meeting to learn of the responsibilities of each title and also learn guidelines on what you can and cannot do in your campaigning. Many students this year held ice cream socials, game nights, passed out candy, and hung various flyers around the campus.

On Speech and Debate Night, you will be able to present (if running), or listen in to gain knowledge about candidates and the ideas they're proposing. When voting, and always vote (EVERY VOTE COUNTS) always cast your vote for whom has the greatest anticipations of the class and not who looks the best!!

In the mean time,

Congrats to our new additions to the SGA FAMILY! =]
