Stugov Buzz: Happy 2020, Bulldogs!

With the start of the new semester and year, we at Student Government are feeling energized and prepared to tackle lots of projects, both old and new. We have a lot in store for this semester, and we hope that you will be able to join us for our events and share input for some of our initiatives!

This spring we are incredibly excited for our third annual Women’s Leadership Conference, hosted Feb. 22, 2020. As the conference’s theme is “Purpose and Potential,” we will have speakers and panels of women in government, STEM fields, community development and more. We will also be partnering with the Career Center to offer a few professional development and networking opportunities throughout the day. All are welcome, and the conference is free to attend. Be sure to stay tuned to our Facebook for more information as the event approaches.

In addition to the Women’s Leadership Conference, Student Government will enjoy hosting a variety of themed weeks throughout the spring semester. Follow our social media closely so you don’t miss our big plans for Diversity Week, Mental Health Awareness Week, Sexual Assault Prevention Week, Earth Week and Student Appreciation Week.

Perhaps our biggest and most timely initiative for this spring semester is our continued work on our 2020 Student Vision Document. Every five years Student Government publishes a document detailing the current state of the University and our vision for the next five years. We are gathering student opinions now to include in the document as we gear up for its release in early April. If you have any big ideas for the future of Truman or want to learn more about this
project, reach out to us at studentgovernment@truman.edu. Stay tuned to our social media for more information about a campuswide release party.

As you can see, Student Government is preparing for an exciting spring semester, and we are always looking for more ways to serve you as well! Reach out to us at studentgovernment@truman.edu if you have questions or suggestions for us, and remember to follow our social media on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for more information.
