Distinguishing Yourself through Leadership and Service

This week, in the context of work on our final projects, we have been talking a lot about distinguishing yourself on campus. See the following announcements for ways to be a leader and/or to help with community service initiatives planned by other INQ classes:

FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICER POSITIONS NOW OPEN!
Freshmen elections are taking place. Any student who is interested in running for a freshmen class officer position may pick up a candidate information packet in the Office of Student Life, ASC, 212. Completed candidate forms are due back to the Office of Student Life by Friday, Nov. 12 at 12:00 PM. Online elections will take place Nov. 18-23.

SNEAKER MOUNTAIN Nov 15-19, 2010
NIKE is sponsoring SCSU’s Sneaker Mountain. Donated shoes will be provided to communities in need, or recycled into playground and athletic surfacing. Donate your unwanted shoes all week under the tent in the Academic Quad. OR get a free shirt from NIKE at the men’s basketball game on Wed. Nov 17th at 7:30 pm (for the first 100people who donate a pair of shoes at the door).

ADOPT-A-FAMILY
Students from one INQ class would like to unite all inquiry classes in a combined effort to serve our community. The goal is to help those in need by donating non-perisable food items to the Adopt-A-Family organization, the Coordinating Council for Children in Crisis or the 4 C's. As a combined group effort we can provide enough food to brighten up a family's day and allow them to see the good in the world once again. The hope is that each class will be able to fill one box of can goods. The boxes should include baby food, canned meats, vegetables, ceral, hygiene products etc. The boxes are due at the Adanti Student Center by Thursday November 18th. You can pick up the boxes from the Student center anytime before that to get started. We encourage each class to participate since it is a great thing we will be doing.
