SGA president writes an open letter to students

Fellow Students,

First off, we would like to say that we hope the beginning of this semester finds you all doing well in your classes.

Student Government has been working hard all summer, and is continuing to do so, for the benefit of all students.

During this time, we have been focusing on new ideas on how to better ACC for students. These include creation of our new website: www.austincc.edu/sga. This serves as a point of access for information from SGA and a way to contact SGA. We have also created a new SGA Scholarship, which is available for all students to apply for. We are working on the possible development of an SGA sponsored ACC yearbook, and of course, SGA continues to participate in shared governance representation with the administration. We also continue to support the Dream Act, as well.

As an organization, our focus has been and will continue to be to improve student experience on all campuses. We have worked for some conveniences, such as credit card readers on vending machines. SGA has also been hands on with parking concerns at all campuses, working to try to gain improvements.

Students are always welcome to contact us with concerns and ideas, and are encouraged to become involved with Student Government. We also encourage students to come to our meetings, which are open to everyone. Our next meeting is on October 8th, and the following meeting is on October 22nd. Meetings are held at the Highland Business Center. For more information, see the SGA website, call the SGA office at 223-3116, or email sga@austincc.edu

On behalf of the Student Government Association,

Sincerely,

Jorge Amador

2010-2011 President SGA
