Casino Night 2019:


Last year was the 42sd annual Casino Night and was, as always, a huge success! The Royal Affair allowed the Johnson SGA to raise over $1,200 for the United Way of Lamoille County, and had over 35 amazing prizes to auction off at the end of the night including a Vermont Teddy Bear, a Bash Badge to Smuggler’s Notch, gift baskets from local businesses, and gift cards to Burlington shops. There was something for everyone to love and choose to bid on!


What is Casino Night?


We host one of the biggest events on campus!medium2


Casino Night is an old tradition here on campus, and every spring the SGA holds the event in the Stearns Dinning hall. The night is filled with glamor, casino games, delicious food, and an abundance of fun.


Students and community members are invited to attend the event which includes music, gambling and an auction at the end of the event.


SGA members spend the first semester planning this fun filled event and then we hit the road going town to town and business to business asking for donations and prizes. All the prizes collected are then raffled off at the end of the event!


The SGA sells tickets leading up to the event, and all proceeds from Casino Night go directly to the United Way of Lamoille County.


We are very fortunate to put on such an amazing event for the Northern Vermont University – Johnson community, and to help a well deserving organization.


Last year, was the 41st annual Casino Night, a masquerade event, and was a huge success! The SGA was able to raise over $1,200 for the United Way of Lamoille County

SBA Sponsored Activities
The SBA sponsors several activities and events throughout the year. Below are the activities and their respective dates.

"I Survived the First Week of Law School Party"
Beach Day
Barrister's Ball
Halloween Costume Contest
Poker Night
Dean's Forum/SBA Town Hall Meeting
Dodgeball
Law School Dinner
In-N-Out Burger Day

"I Survived the First Week of Law School Party"
One of the first gathering of the year, this party is geared towards the 1L students! The first week of law school can be quite an experience for new students, so the SBA provides busing from Malibu and Santa Monica to this annual party after the first week of law school classes to celebrate the occasion!

Beach Day
The Sunday after the first week of classes, Beach Day is sponsored by the SBA to encourage all students to get out and enjoy beautiful Malibu at Zuma Beach.  We provide food, drinks, music, and beach activities, such as volleyball.

Barrister's Ball
Barrister's Ball is the premier social event of the Fall semester. This school-wide event is open to all Pepperdine Law Students, faculty, alumni, and other members of the legal community. Barrister's Ball is typically held at an exclusive hotel and/or ballroom in Santa Monica or Beverly Hills. Formal attire is recommended. This event combines elegance, excitement, and hours of entertainment for all who attend. Tickets can be purchased prior to the event.

Halloween Costume Contest
Each Halloween, SBA sponsors a costume contest at lunch in the atrium.  Dress up to win awesome prizes!

Poker Night
SBA hosts this poker tournament typically in the fall each year.  We provide food, drinks, and music in the atrium where you will find poker tables and friendly competition between students, faculty, and alumni.  Sign up to play in the atrium the week before the tournament is held.

Dean's Forum/SBA Town Hall Meeting
Each semester the administration will host a Dean's Forum to communicate directly with students about the current state of the law school.  After the faculty and administration have left the room, SBA will continue in the same manner to receive feedback from students so that we can communicate that back to the administration and better serve our student body.

Dodgeball
Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and DODGE!  Every Spring semester, SBA puts on a Dodgeball tournament for all students in the "Pepperdome": a huge dodgeball arena right in the middle of the atrium.  Come out to show your athletic skills, or simply dress your team up in the best costumes to win prizes.  Sign your team up in the atrium in the weeks before the tournament.

In-N-Out Burger Day
Every year, the SBA presents "In-N-Out Day" where all law students and faculty are provided a free lunch by In-N-Out. The famous In-N-Out truck arrives at the law school parking lot and stays for the duration of the lunch period.

Law School Dinner
The Annual Law School Dinner is the most highly anticipated event of the year. Attending this event are faculty, administration, alumni, members of the legal community, and students. Distinguished speakers have included Supreme Court Justices and Counsel to the President of the United States. A reception is followed with dinner. Professor of the Year and Moot Court awards are presented thereafter. Law students can purchase tickets to the Dinner at a discounted price.

In addition, SBA provides funding and support to all of our Student Organizations on campus, and we encourage you to participate in those events as well!

One of the biggest events that the Ramapo College of New Jersey Student Government Association is responsible for is Oktoberfest, a weekend jam packed with fun programs for the entire campus. Lots of planning goes into this annual event, and each year new and exciting activities are planned to give students the best experience ever. Last year, the Oktoberfest events included: Sportsfest - a night where our sports and recreation center is open for our students to participate in rock climbing, swimming, and a variety of other sports and activities, Fall Frenzy -- a night in which an outdoor basketball court was outfitted with a mechanical bull ride, tie-dye, stuff-a-plush, and other activities along with a haunted house in our administrative building, and the Family Day Carnival -- a day in which students and their families were invited to an exciting carnival with carnival games, a pumpkin patch, a petting zoo, inflatable slides, and plenty of food and other activities. Our organization looks forward to providing students with this fun filled weekend every year.

Better Relations Day

Georgia-Auburn Better Relations Day

Each year, representatives from Student Government Associations of the University of Georgia and Auburn University meet to build and promote positive relationships between the two institutions, both on and off the field. 

Schedule of Events

2019 schedule will be posted here.

History of GA-AU Better Relations Day

Better Relations Day was an initiative that started in 1948 between Auburn University and The University of Alabama to encourage a more cooperative relationship between both schools despite their spirited athletic rivalry. The exchange of traditions and information has been a monumential means of increasing good feeling between insitutions. 

Since it's expansion to the University of Georgia, Better Relations Day has come to encompass a new spirit. Student Governments from both schools come together not only to learn about each other but also learn from each other. Improving the quality of UGA and AU has become more than forming relationships between peer institutions but also learning from each other.

GA-FL’s War for the Oar

The Okefenokee Oar was carved from a 1,000-year-old tree in the Okefenokee Swamp and is awarded to the winning school of the annual Georgia-Florida game.

The Georgia-Auburn football rivalry may be known as the Deep South’s oldest rivalry, but the Georgia-Florida football rivalry is certainly students’ favorite.  Historically, settlers from Georgia and Florida disputed ownership of the Okefenokee Swamp region, so the oar represents the earliest roots of the rivalry.  As students at the University of Georgia, it is our duty, our responsibility to ‘commit to the G’ and, equally important, commit to the oar.

While Georgia has won 49 of the past 90 games, the competition is fierce as ever.  The Okefenokee Oar is more than a wooden trophy — it is a testament to the Bulldawg Nation, to every individual whose blood bleeds red and black and to every student proud to call the University of Georgia home.

Freshman Welcome

Every Game Day Saturday, UGA students crowd into Sanford Stadium to cheer on the dawgs - but when do you get an opprotunity to actually go on the field? SGA's Freshman Welcome allows incoming students to get between the hedges before graduation. 

Beginning in Summer 2011, the Student Government Association and UGA Alumni Association’s Student Alumni Council partnered to start a new UGA tradition welcoming the incoming freshmen and transfer students.  More than 3,500 first-year students gathered at Sanford Stadium for welcoming words from President Michael F. Adams and Head Football Coach Mark Richt. On hand were members of the Redcoat Band, Hairy Dawg and the UGA cheerleaders. The students then filed onto the field, where they were photographed in the form of a human G.

Freshman Welcome is now an annual event, hosted the day before the first day of classes. Freshman Welcome is listed in the “G-Book” as tradition #4.  The event continues to grow each year with the help of the UGA Parents & Families Association, Dawg Camp, Arch Society, Student Alumni Council, Orientation Leaders and other groups on campus.  Before forming a human G on the field, students hear welcoming words from the University President, Head Football Coach, Student Government Association President, and Student Alumni Council President.  Additionally, students learn and practice the football cheers in preparation for their first game “between the hedges” as students at the University of Georgia.

https://www.olemissasb.org/creed-week

As students and faculty return to campus after a long summer, the ASB is pleased to host a kick-off week to welcome back the Ole Miss family. This week is focused on connecting students to the University, and members of the ASB and the Administration will be engaging in social activities with the student body throughout the week. It will also show students how to give back to the community and encourage them to take part in a Match Day with the local United Way to find which philanthropy is the best fit for their service. Students will also learn more about the University’s Creed, which serves as a guiding light for interactions with our peers, our work, and the community around us. Many opportunities to get involved with the University will be offered, through organizations on campus as well as the Ole Miss Bucket List. Join us for a week of sharing our appreciation for the student body and the Ole Miss community as a whole!

EVERYBODY’S TENT

Every football season, representatives from the Associated Student Body come together to host a tailgating tent for anyone on our campus. The purpose of Everybody’s Tent is to provide a welcoming, fun environment to students, families, faculty and staff that is not limited to one particular region or group. It follows ASB’s motto of being an inclusive and one Ole Miss. Everybody’s Tent is a great place to make new friends, learn more about ASB and enjoy Ole Miss’s tradition of the Grove.

EVERYBODY'S FORMAL

Everybody's Formal is an event that ASB hosts during Homecoming week to celebrate our Ole Miss family. This event provides an opportunity for all students to experience a formal in a safe and welcoming environment while enjoying food, live music, and refreshments at no cost. Everybody's Formal is a great place to make new friends, meet ASB members, and celebrate Homecoming week.
