Elections and Concerts

Much of my time for the past week has been spent working on assignments for other classes, as well as JMC 410. However, I have managed to keep tabs on stuff happening through the Student Activities office.

The big news in the Student Activities office is the 2010 Student Senate Elections. Matt VanDriel, former student trustee, will be taking over for Justin Puckett’s position of Student Senate president. Taking over VanDriel’s position will be Michael Johnston, the vice president of finance. Ryan Shucard and Azhia Long both keep their current positions, vice presidents of university and diverse relations respectively. Check out the rest of the election results here.

There was also the Boys Like Girls concert that happened on April 11; it was one subject I briefly touch on in an upcoming story about the University Program Council, which put on the show. At the time I had interviewed David Nawrocki, he talked about how he originally wanted to host a big music festival but didn’t have the budget to pull it off. He told me that if he couldn’t do that, he wanted to have at least “one solid band to hang out hats on.” While I didn’t attend the concert, I’m pretty sure it was something that students will not be forgetting.
