As a recent transfer to the Holt Program for my senior year at Rollins, I am now assistant secretary for the Hamilton Holt Student Government Association, as well as an Organizational Communication Senator.
This year HHSGA is trying its best to get more involved and to create more of a presence on campus. The members of HHSGA have been busy planning events for this school year, unfortunately, with all of the hurricanes kicking off the semester, things have been somewhat challenging.
Still, the HHSGA is committed to our goal and is working hard. In mid-September, we held a PR week in order to promote the Holt SGA by distributing highlighters, bookmarks and event calendars. There were sign ups for clubs, Community Engagement information and voters' registration.
October 20, we held Meet the President, where roughly 200 students, administration and faculty showed up to get to know President Duncan and ask questions about his new transition. Overall, it was a huge success and we all learned that President Duncan is actually very personable and down to earth. He relates well to the Holt community and even told us that his wife's dissertation was about women returning to the workforce so he really relates to non-traditional students.
The next big event coming up will be held at Homecoming on October 30, scheduled in between the men and women's soccer games. We will be holding a hot dog roast as well as promoting school spirit at Holt's very first Pep Rally. This event will mark the kickoff of Holt's whole new image.
Being more involved on campus, not only academically, but also by taking more of an interest in its student body and being involved in campus events will continue to enhance our education. There will be two more HHSGA meetings, which are open to all Holt students, November 1 and December 6 both at 5:30 in CSS room 170.
We look forward to a great year and many events to come in the spring; including another PR week, a Spring Thing, the annual Starry Night Auction and many more events to be announced! Feel free to contact me, Tiffany Valo, if you are interested in helping out or if you have an idea for an event. A big thanks to Sue Easton (our faculty advisor) for all of her help in guiding us in following through with our goals and plans to make HHSGA bigger and better than ever.
