From the Desk of Treasure Lipka | "Be yourself with passion and intensity"

 

My position is the USG Treasurer. My duty is to manage USG finances ensuring that the students’ mandatory activity fee is spent properly. I also oversee the USG member organization's treasurers. This job is stressing in many ways but it can also be extremely rewarding. Besides the entailment of the job itself being a challenge, I also find having to say "no" to Orgs, or having to deal with the fact that most of what I do deals with time sensitive matters a bit challenging. But I have it pretty well managed and I have done a lot of great things in the name of USG. 

Signed,
Treasure Lipka

From the Desk of Rules and Regulation Chair Campbell | "There are certain shades of limelight that can ruin a girl's complexion".

My position is the  Rules & Regulations Chair. My duties are to create and propose legislation for USG, to recognize and re-recognize organizations within USG, and also help allow new organizations to enter USG. It can definitely be a lot of work, but it's work that I enjoy! The most difficult thing is to create limits with certain deadlines and circumstances. Click the read more link to read more!

From the Desk of Senator Pro Temp Rogers | “Treat others like you would want to be treated”

My position is the Senator Pro Temp. My duties are to make sure Senators are doing their job. As well as doing the job of EVP Huggins if he is not present, updating committee and contacts list, and also chairing the food service committee. It’s hard figuring out when or when not to give out absences. Especially when I want to treat everyone fair, but some circumstances are different or when I continuously tell senators what they need to be doing, yet they don’t do it and I don’t want to be a mother and dictate them about it. Some days are more stressful than others, but I get the job done!

Signed,

Senator Pro Temp Rogers

My position on USG is Executive Vice President. Some of my duties are to assist and take on the duties as president in his/her absence. Be the direct supervisors to the AVPs'. Lastly, serving as the communication link between the E-Board and Business Staff. The most difficult thing to do in my position or any position on USG is the failure to remember that I am too a student and that comes first.
