CAB encourages Big Event participation
CAB Chair Andy Martin congratulated new Chief Justice Coy Clark and three constitutional court justices, Zoe Leishman, Sofia Trefilova, and Nick Stokey, on their new positions.
Admissions Representative and former Eagle Justy Bullington had an announcement about New Student Orientation. Admissions is in need of Eagle Leaders to help out. It’s a great thing to add to a resume, career development, and a free way to promote clubs, she said. Leaders will get to move in early, get a free T-shirt, eat at all of the BBQ’s for free, and will get paid. Past Eagle Leaders will receive an email with the link to apply. Anyone else interested should contact Bullington at [email protected], 308-432-6011, or at Crites 218.
CAB reported $11,908.52 in unallocated funds.
The Activities Fee Board is still looking for at-large committee members in charge of the allocation of money to clubs. Anyone interested should contact Vice Chair of Finance Kelley McNabb or anyone on the CAB executive board to get the application process started.
An allocation of $3,500 for the February free bowling and movie nights was approved.
The movie night scheduled March 15, the Sunday students return from midterm break, may be moved to March 22.
CAB Adviser Laure Sinn wanted to remind students that there are emergency action guides around campus and to be aware of their surroundings.
Pat Beu, student affairs senior director, wants anyone with concerns or questions regarding the lockdown or the emergency text system to email him at [email protected].
He plans to meet with Student Services Vice President Jon Hansen, security, and residence hall personnel to discuss improvements to the system. The irrational appearance of campus was not the intent, he said, their goal was to provide as much safety as possible.
Lane Swedburg, coordinator of recruitment for The Big Event, wanted students to know that registration opens March 16 either online or face-to-face at several locations and opportunities. March 16 will kick of The Big Event Week ending with The Tower of Power event at High Rise. Every floor will have games to advance to the top floor where participants can sign up for The Big Event.
The Big Event staff is looking for pledges from clubs to get an estimate of how many students will help. Swedburg wanted people to be conscious of not pledging for more than one club and to specify which club he/she would like to volunteer with. This entire process will be done by hand since last year’s electronic organization failed.
Everyone needs to be registered and assigned to a specific location by April 21. Be sure to like The Big Event on Facebook for updates, notifications, biographies on all of the staff members, and a chance to participate in an upcoming social media challenge. The Big Event is scheduled for April 25.
Swedburg also needs students to sign up to be a part of the Nearly Naked Mile staff. Anyone interested should contact Swedburg at [email protected].
Vice Chair of Programming Chelsea Evans is still working on the Student Center PowerPoint. Any events that she has received from students for the PowerPoint have been forwarded to Vice Chair of Relations Mikayla Gallagher and should be up on Facebook and Twitter.
The spring Career Fair is 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Feb. 13 in The Pit. Twenty-five businesses and agencies are expected to attend. Students should come to learn about potential jobs, internships, and to gain valuable contact information, Martin said.
Student Trustee Jacob Rissler said student trustee applications are still available and due at noon, Feb. 9. Anyone interested must have three letters of recommendation from CSC staff. The applications can be found at csc.edu/student senate and are due to Kathy Mason’s office on the third floor of Crites, with the three letters of recommendation.
Rissler also met with Tracy Shuck, dining services director about “possible positives” to enhance the coffee shop.
Rissler suggested using $10,000 from the Student Senate’s budget to cover the initial instillation costs for a F’real machine. Anyone who does not know what a F’real is should join Laure Sinn and students at 11 a.m., Thursday to try one at Maverick. Sinn will provide a van for students without transportation and will meet them under the Clock Tower.
Martin mentioned a meeting discussing a new football stadium, track, and soccer field. The stadium’s current seating of 3,200 is projected to increase to 3,500 to 4,000 seats, he said. More information is to come.
Anyone interested in a CSC marching band should attend the meeting 5 p.m., March 27 in Memorial Hall room 104.
Student Senate is still looking for members. Contact Senate President Dillon Spies at [email protected] or Senate Vice President Taylor Strong at [email protected].
