Student Council Mixer October 5th 2011

Some words from the Student Council 2011-2012.

Education Committee Coordinator - Wesley Beeks

It was a pleasure to meet so many returning students who have reaffirmed their commitment for education with family, personal and professional commitments. We have heard your overwhelming desires for more fiscal support for tuition and academic and have placed a program on the table for the administration to consider. I have created and proposed a scholarship/ grant program to defray the cost of tuition. We are asking for interested students to sign up for this with their facilitators and student council representatives. We want to execute this program this semester and will need everybody and that includes the professors, administration, staff and instructors to make this happen.

The challenge is not showing up to meetings but in building programs staffed with students and staff who are concerned, committed and ready to expedite opportunities towards the transformative power of education. I look forward to working with the student, staff and academic community to make this happen. For any suggestions or to get involved simply contact your student council representative in your colloquium class you voted in. Make your vote count and elect a representative that will reflect your values. Thank you to the students that did sign up for the scholarship/grant program and will present this to the board and staff to expedite this program.



Student Council Recreations Coordinator-Celica Camarena-Butts

The social mixer was a big success. The Student Council was motivated and were able to accomplish the jobs given to them. Each member introduced themselves and what they represent being in the Student Council. Everyone was friendly, kept conversation going and were interested to know what other events are going to happen next. Boricua College Students were excited to know which projects the Student Council were bringing to the table and were eager for upcoming events. The food section was very sanitary and no complaints were given. There were 65 students who signed up for the scholarship program and the Student Council membership program so that they are updated for any information that needs to be passed on. There were great pictures taken from everybody being active. Now we can successfully move on to the next step. I look forward to creating events that we want. Stay active and get involved to continue this!
