Students want to be heard. They want to affect change in the University and the way they do this is through Student Government but there is sometimes a disconnect between students and Student Government. How many students know who their student senator is much less what they look like or how to get in touch with them? This is a problem. How do we fix it? By bringing students and Student Government together. What better way to do this than having a fun event that will get students out and put them face-to-face with their Student Government representative where they can hang out and start building that connection. The College Cup is the answer. It did exactly that. Hosted by SG, it brought together students and Student Government so they can start communicating. The College Cup recognized this problem and turned it into a fun and tangible solution. It is the start of a more open and positive relationship between students and Student Government. For any student that wants to have their voice heard, I encourage you to attend these types of Student Government events. Meet your student representative and share your ideas. Solutions to problems like advising, transportation and campus safety all come started with a student raising a concern to Student Government. If you are not sure where to find Student Government, just look for the Student Government tent out on the Brickyard. We are there every week. Scott Richardson Senior, business administration
