What Is SGA ^
Brian Hemel
SGA is the Student
Government Association, a
group which has and continues
to maice major changes toward
the positive future of Brevard
College. This organization is led
by the SGA Senate which is
comprised of club and other
organizational representatives,
resident hall reps, and other BC
students who choose to
represent themselves. Oversee
ing the SGA and the Senate is
senior Kelly Surles, President of
SGA and the voice of students’
opinions.
Students interested in
exploring SGA should begin
reading e-mails from Julie
Robbins, SGA Secretary. Those
interested in becoming senators
need only to attend any 7 p.m.
Wednesday night meeting in
MG 116 or stop by the SGA
office in the Center for Service
Learning, Coltrane Commons.
SGA members hope to see you
there.

It is often noted that
there are basically two kinds
of people in this world: the
doers and the watchers. For
those BC students involved in
the College’s Service Learning
Program under the direction of
Linda Helms, there is no
question as to what type of
people they are. Busy
becoming leaders in Western
North Carolina, these students
are continuing to enjoy
helping others.
As featured in a
previous Clarion issue, the
to School Team, led by
Selome Bekure, is growing in
its dedication to children in
the local communities.
This semester the
team will be helping out at the
Jenkins Community Center
several days.

Other on-going projects
include the FRIENDS Program, a
joint effort of TREND Mental
Health Services and Brevard
College’s Service Learning
Project. FRIENDS is much like
the well-known Big Brother, Big
Sister organization wherein
mature citizens act as role models
to children ranging in ages from
6 to 12.
Yet another service
project is underway at the hands
of Dr. Susan Schmidt and three
environmental studies students.
They are creating a “community
garden” on campus and will work
with children on a “youth
gardening program” focusing on
caring for plants, composting,
and studying the ecology of
native plants.
So, which are you? A
doer or a watcher? Get up. Make
a difference. Help out in your
community. Go see Linda Helms
in the Center for Service Learning
in Coltrane Commons or call her
on extension 8275. You can make
a difference!
