Students to choose from mascot names

SGA Executive Board to open communication avenues

After the swearing-in ceremony and the gavel officially passed, the 2005-2006 Student Government Association Executive Board is poised to take on t he challenges that the year brings and meet those challenges head-on to better serve and represent the student body. So here it goes.

Recently, the Student Government Association polled students, faculty, and staff to find a name for our school mascot. The results are in and four names made it to the finals. Drum roll please… Blaze, Outlaw, Wildfire or Spirit will eventually be chosen to be associated with everything that is North Lake College.

The Student Government Association will once again bring the vote back to t he students to make it official. Details are still forthcoming, so be on the lookout for more information on where and when we will be able to cast our votes. This is our chance; this is our opportunity to leave a lasting impression of our voice, our choice. Which one will you choose? We will soon find out and the rest will be history.

Knowing the importance of student involvement, North Lake’s 2005-2006 Student Government Association Executive Board will be opening up multiple avenues of communication in order to allow the student body better access to information about decisions and issues that will have a lasting impact on us and the campus.

In the coming weeks, The Executive Board will establish a series of Student General Sessions, for ums, and polls to al low the current SGA administration to inform and tap into the pulse of the student body, laying out upcoming projects, proposals and events.

Every student is invited to attend and participate in the opportunity to ask questions, bring forward proposals, and lend your own thoughts and ideas to shape the direction of not only t he Student Government Association, but also North Lake itself and the future of our education. These proposals are not limited to academic pursuits but incorporate a variety of issues which are important to all NLC students (i.e., the Student Life Center, sports, extracurricular activities, etc.)

Remember, the Executive Board was elected by the student body for the student body. We work for the advancement of our educational experience at North Lake. The SGA meetings are not only for SGA officer s and for student senators, but a re also open to the participation and input of the students at large. If you happen to be on campus on a Monday at 4 p.m., join the meeting in K-216 and let us work together toward a better future.

--Aaron VanAudenhove is president of the Student Government Association.
