The Daytona State Student Government Association has seen many faces
come and go over the years. As the spring semester comes to a close, it
is with a heavy heart that we prepare to say goodbye to the current
graduating members of the SGA Board. Executive Secretary Ryanne Gouveia
worked passionately to design a medallion to be worn by our graduates
now and in the future as they complete their time at Daytona State and
prepare to soar on to greater things.
The SGA board invites students from all campuses to visit the Student
Life Center at the Daytona Beach campus to pick up their respective
officer applications, so that they may be a part of the next chapter in
Student Government Association history.
The members of Student Government serve as the liaison between the
students and administration at DSC, planning and organizing events for
school morale and community outreach like the Valentine’s Cards for
Veterans campaign and the Club Banquet hosted in the spring and fall
semesters, just to name a few.
This year’s “Why Is This In My Closet?” themed club banquet will be
conducted virtually so that the clubs, organizations and the College may
have an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate their incredible
members. Students are being offered a free lunch card from METZ when
they RSVP, so students should keep their eyes peeled for the
save-the-date flyers or sign up for the Student Life course shell for
up-to-date information on what Student Government has planned next.
Despite the limitations of Covid-19, SGA is passionate about
providing the optimal student experience for incoming and current
students and our alumni as well.
Most recently, the board approved a pen-pal program proposed by the
Vice-President of the Deltona Campus, Kirsten Larson, in collaboration
with other Florida colleges to connect Florida students and alumni. Keep
an eye out for flyers posted around your campus for information on how
to register to be a part of this incredible program. The deadline to
register will be the 12th of April.
If students have any ideas for what the SGA can do in the remaining
months of the Spring 2021 semester and into the fall, they should not
hesitate to get involved. The SGA board is eager to welcome new faces
into ranks from all our Daytona State Campuses. Students are encouraged
to visit the Student Life or Student Government web pages on the Daytona
State website or send an email to studentlife@daytonastate.edu to
discover how they can get involved and be a part of the officer
elections held April 21st and 22nd.
