ASWU President
ASWU is excited to be done with elections and begin getting the new folks ready to serve you all next year and to be the best leaders they can be for you all! All of the new coordinators, media heads, and executives will be going through the budgeting process during Budget Committee (April 23-24) in order to learn the process of getting money from ASWU and to start creating their budgets for next year so that they can put on awesome events next year.
What else is coming up at the end of the year? Good question! Springfest of course is the event you all should attend. April 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. will be the official time for this monstrous event of fun and raising money to support BELIEF. At 10:30 a.m. there will be a Superhero themed Fun Run, 1 p.m. the craziest mentalist I’ve ever seen will be in the HUB, and at 2 p.m. the amazing Mr. Whitworth pageant will be going on. On top of all of these attractions, there will be a rock wall, lunch picnic on the lawn, smooth jazz band tunes, booths of craziness, bouncy toys (because we’re all still children at heart), shirts being sold, games and Frisbee in the Loop and much more! Rain or shine, this event is going on. Oh, and I hear there are also rumors of a car show possibly being a part of the event. Tickets will be sold in order to participate in the booth events and activities in order to raise money for BELIEF. Come support the group by scraping together all of the change you can find in your pockets, drawers, wallets and cars and come buy a ton of tickets to be able to participate.
Lastly, I would like to thank all of you who came and attended all of the town halls that occurred during the week of April 9-April 12. The administration appreciates your feedback and they love hearing your questions. Take advantage of those opportunities in the future as they come up in the coming years. It’s a great way to learn about the university and to mingle with professors, administrators, and of course, Beck A. Taylor himself.
Until next time, keep drinking water and don’t get dehydrated from all of the wonderful sunshine.
