From the Desk of Adminstrative Vice President for Community Affairs Sumbundu

I am the AVP for Community Affairs. This is a very unique position due to the responsibilities that come with the job. Some of my tasks range from community service, awareness programs and being a liaison between the student body and the administrative body. I also serve on the Alumni Board, the Intercollegiate Athletic Board and the Daycare Board. Like many other positions, it takes a lot of work to put events together while concentrating on other task as they emerge. Being able to prioritize and having a good support team to work with, makes my job a little easier. Sometimes, the most difficult aspect of the job is getting speakers for events and also getting students to participate. As your AVP, I take the pride in maximizing outcome of student to events and minimize cost of events in order to use your mandatory student activity fees to the best of my ability.I rather not answer the questions about my personal life. 

Signed,

AVP for Community Affairs Sumbundu 

From the Desk of Vice Treasurer Britten | "I rather a real enemy than a fake friend."

I an the Vice Treasurer. I’m like the Treasurer’s “right-hand.” I know already that the entire budget and having to deal with all of the organizations on campus and their financial situation is tough. I’m excited to be able to voice my opinion and help the organizations out. I know some organizations will not be happy or agree with the decisions made, but I am willing to work as closely as possible with them. The only difficulty that I will have would be not having a good relationship with other treasurers. Hopefully I can gain a powerful relationship with every organization. Besides, we’re in this together.

Signed,

Vice Treasurer Britten

Secretary Robinson | "I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it."

I am the Secretary for USG. I’m responsible for taking minutes at all USG E-Board, Senate and Corporate meetings. When not in meetings or class I wander from office to office on the fourth floor to see what is going on and know what the up-coming events, programs and projects are.  I also give feedback and share ideas.  My job can be stressful at times because I’m a stickler for wanting the minutes accurate and I don’t want to miss anything.  The most difficult part is trying to type everything when someone is talking fast.  But I like the challenge.

I am the AVP for Academics. I create programs catered to students Academically; I meet with the provost to voice share the voice of students. The most difficult task for my position is creating programs that the students would actually come to because most students aren’t interested in Academic programs; such as spelling bees and etc.The position isn’t as stressful as the other AVP's because it doesn't entitle me actually working closely with the students as oppose to Student Life, or Communications.
