A message from your student body president
IPFW Student Body
President Kody Tinnel
It is only summer but already the Indiana Purdue Student Government Association, or IPSGA, is busy preparing for the coming year. The newly elected executive officers, myself included, are getting settled into our positions and preparing goals and plans for the 2008-2009 school year here at IPFW.
For those unfamiliar with IPSGA, it is an organization comprised of four branches each designed to serve the students and improve life on campus. The Student Activities Board (SAB) plans various events on campus such as guest speakers, free food giveaways, and Spring Fling week. The Student Senate charters student organizations, allocates money, and makes recommendations to help better the college experience for the student body.
The Judicial Court makes rulings and decisions concerning actions that come up in student government throughout the year. Last but not least, the Executive Officers, who are elected each April by the student body, help organize and oversee all aspects of IPSGA. The elected officers are the President, Vice President of Legislation, Vice President of Programming, and Vice President of Finance.
The IPSGA office is located on the second floor of Walb Student Union. The members of student government can be great resources when trying to better understand what we do, how time commitments is needed, and all of the benefits of being involved.
Many students don’t quite understand the purpose or the benefits of IPSGA. The student government here at IPFW actually plays a very important role. We are in charge of putting on student life events, funding certain student services, lobbying the administration to make changes that benefit the students, and many other activities aimed at bettering the campus and making the IPFW experience the best it can be for the students In addition to the campus- wide benefits there are also numerous other perks of being a member of IPSGA. Student government can help people make connections, learn to work with diverse groups of people, better understand governmental structures, and gain valuable experience that can help with future career goals.
When getting back into the swing of things here at IPFW make sure to consider joining up with IPSGA to help make positive changes.
