SGA taking efforts to launch new e ents committee

Ethan Castro
COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE MEMBER

As was previously mentioned in the
first official Illinois Tech Student Government
Association (SGA) articles of this semester,
one of the newest additions to the
body is an Events Committee V» L] hopes
to establish regular events, both ual and
professional, and push SGA as a visible,
available, and approachable organization.
Events such as the President and Provost
Forum or SGAs regular Town Hall disc ssions

vernin g

with mpus administrative bodies (such as
the ‘ce of Technolog) Support or Illinois
Tech Dining Services) would fall under
the jurisdiction and log s of this Events
Committee. This committee is still looking for
a chair to lead it, but SGA President Hamze
Leo Sukkar is confident that the establishment
of this committee, alongside the ongoing
projects of SGAs other ‘ommittees, will help
to break the illusion of SGA as a secretive and
inaccessible organization.

More specifically, SGAs executive
board has been hard at work in filling the
open position of Events Chair. Although the

process is (for now) mainly an internal process
by SG president and vice president, some
details have been shared on the progress of
thi endeavor. A mass email to all students
recruiting for volunteers sent by Sukkar
generated a satisfactory amount of interested
responses and a pool of applicants for the
Events air has been formulated. Sukkar is in
personal contact ith each of these applicants
and hopes that ‘ 1ey should be on board by
next senate, where should also be voting in
our new Events The next senate he '
will be on November 16 at 9:15 pm. in Stu ~t
Building room 113. It is here that Sukkar

hopes to see the new Events Committee finally
fleshed out completely.

Although perhaps a bit late into the
semester, having an established and staffed
Events Committee will likely prove a valuable
asset to GA movi ' d, as the sheer
logistics of creating aigeesca e events can
now be specially de ed to a dedicated
committee. The end goa be to have a much
more efficient and prolific source of regular
SGA events to help give the organization a
more visible face on the Illinois Tech campus
that is much more integrated into the lives of
students.
