SG leaders take to smaller chambers
Starting today and lasting through Friday, Oct. 31, Student Government is not conducting its regular meetings. Rather, they are participating in “Student Government Steps Out,” a weeklong initiative where officers of USC’s Student Government will attend the meetings of various student organizations.
They will reach out to the student body “in order to ensure that all voices are being heard on campus,” wrote Kaleigh Thomas, Student Government Press Secretary, in a news brief.
Members of the executive branch of Student Government, as well as some members of the Senate, are going to be participating in Student Government Steps Out. This is the first time USC has had a program like this, and is “an attempt to increase the transparency of Student Government,” Thomas wrote.
“As student leaders, SG members wanted to share what they were doing on campus with other student organizations as well as hear other students' perspectives on current issues at the university,” she said.
The list of organizations that Student Government officers will visit has yet to be released.
“At its core,” Thomas wrote, “this program is a way for Student Government members to strengthen their connections with those they serve: other students.”
