SGA Update The SGA group is well rested from the holiday break as well as the various snow breaks and is ready for an exciting spring semester. The first event for the new semester was a “Welcome Back Lunch” that was held on the first day of classes. Free lasagna and desserts were enjoyed by more than 300 stu dents, faculty & staff. A special thanks is extended to the cafe staff that catered this delicious lunch. In addition to the free food, students were also given the opportunity to play bingo for free and win some great prizes from Wal-Mart. Other events that were offered in January included the “Amazing Fantasy Photos” and a ski trip to Appalachian Ski Mountain. Lots of students and employees had a fun time having their pictures made in various “amazing photo scenes” that were placed inside of snow gloves or key chains. These globes and key chains made a perfect souvenir for students to keep for this semester or a great Valentine’s gift. The ski trip provided students with a low cost opportunity to enjoy the slopes at Appalachian Ski Mountain. Students only had to pay $15 for a lift ticket and equipment rental for a night session of skiing. February has been packed with lots of exciting activities.
