Excitement Within the SGA

As a new member of SGA I want to discuss what I think it means to be a senator. Few actually understand the expectations and responsibilities of SGA senators. I for one had no idea what I was getting myself into when I showed to my first meeting. Despite my impulsive decision, SGA has opened up doors of opportunity for me that I never even knew existed. By the end of my first meeting as a senator representing the class of 2011, I knew that my decision to run for senate was a good one. As a senator for your class you serve as the voice of the Trinity community. You also are responsible for joining at least one of the many SGA committees. So far we’ve brainstormed quite a bit on things we’d like to see improved or implemented within the Trinity community. The amount of amazing ideas that surfaced when we did this was quite impressive. The ideas are then separated into the various committees by subject in order to be discussed and then possibly pursued.

Additionally each committee is expected to develop and pursue their own ideas. I sit on the student life committee. I also ran for the budget committee as a senator and ended up getting elected. Students really fail to recognize the amount of power they have. By being on SGA I am experiencing the amazing opportunities that Trinity has to offer, many of which go unnoticed by the majority of Trinity students. If anyone reading this is interested in hearing more (and there is alot more!!!) about what its like to be on SGA please please please do not hesitate to contact me. As a brand new member who is involved quite a bit from the get go I think I can offer anyone interested, a unique perspective. Call me at 8589228277, or just email me at Timothy.Stiefler@trincoll.edu
