ASK NOT WHAT GERMANNA CAN DO FOR YOU. ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR GERMANNA. GET INVOLVED. RUN FOR STUDENT SENATE. BE A LEADER.

Germanna's Student Government Association is accepting nominations for student senate through Friday, Dec. 19. Voting for senate positions will take place during the first week of the spring semester.



Germanna Student Government Association President Catherine Knapp says it doesn't take a big investment of time to make a difference at the college. She's urging her fellow students to run for student senate.

"Being an SGA Senator requires an average of only 90 minutes per week," Knapp says, and offers an opportunity to "Learn great leadership skills... (while deciding) "where $60,000 of your school fees is spent" and attending leadership and training conferences.

Knapp says SGA senators attend a one hour meeting weekly and attend a committee meeting once a month.

Applications are available next to room 121 at the Fredericksburg Area Campus' Dickinson Building. Applications to run for student senate must be submitted to Student Activities by this Friday, Dec. 19.
