It is the beginning another great week here in the University Centers. I just want to give a little shot out to the Centers Services team! They washed the outside of the Centertainment office windows in the rain today. It just started pouring right in the middle of it! There are so many great people I work with here.

The student employees are what makes the Centers go round! As a manager I try to always keep in mind we are all students here. No one has more than someone else to do; we are all in the same boat.

This means there is always someone to talk to! There is such a sense of community here. A network of support and encouragement. I was thinking just yesterday how hard it is going to be for me to leave at the end of the up coming semester.

These thoughts were prompted after reading Andy's blog about getting involved in the Student Government Association.

DO IT!

I am involved with SGA in a bit of a different way than Andy is. I report about SGA for the campus newspaper "The Pointer." I never really thought I would like getting involved in "politics." I have learned so much though!

As a student at this university, this is YOUR money they are dealing with, YOUR education and YOUR environment in which you have a right to be comfortable in.

It is also a great way to feel that sense of a networking community. You will meet more great people to count on during your time here.

Not to mention being involved in student government look phenomenal on a resume!

I have an addiction to always know what is going on around me. Seems natural being a journalism student, hmm? Being involved with SGA and having professional relationships with the people directly involved provides me with a lot of the knowledge I want to know about.

This is a skill I know I will use in any of my post-college career endeavors and I know you will too.
And connecting this into employment as I have been called to do, there are employment opportunities through SGA as well. You could even run to the president or vice president of the student body!

There is some food for thought for you to chew on until next time!
