Bridging the Gap The focus of SGA this year is to ensure that we serve as the voice for the entire student body.

If your organization is interested in being involved, contact Colleen Crouch at [email protected] Campus Portal Survey Ryan Sloan, Information Technology Chair for your Student Government Association, is conducting a survey about improvements and changes that can be made to BuzzPort. We want to do everything we can to shape it into a service that meets student needs in a complete, effective manner. In order to do this, we need to gauge how students feel about a number of features and functions. Please complete the following survey to voice your opinions about what the portal should include to best serve the needs of students. https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGhyaDM4eFROZ3NXZHFRSGZESHVBSkE6MQ&ifq If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Ryan via email ([email protected]) or phone (270-210-6155) GT Night at Woodruff: THIS THURSDAY!
