  • Flagler College - SGA President, 04-05

    1. Campus traditions
    Midnight Breakfast is a campus tradition. We hold Midnight Breakfast each semester for Halloween and St. Patrick's Day. SGA cooks and serves breakfast foods to the students for free. The event was established so that students after a night of partying would not go to bed on an empty stomach. We usually have 500-700 students at the event depending on the semester.

    2. Recycling/environmental program
    We started a Flagler recycling program. We have large green bins on each floor of the girl's dorms where they can discard aluminum cans. The cans are hten discarded when needed and taken to a recycling center. The money earned from the cans then goes to charity.

    3. Campus traditions
    Formal is held each semester. The formal is free to students and is held at Lightner Museum in the fall and another location for the Spring. We have a dj and a band at the event and students begin to talk about it a month before. We usually have anywhere from 400 to 900 students depending on the location (Lightner usually has the most because it is across the street from campus).

  • Missouri Western State University (MWSU) - Recycling Efforts on Campus, 2014

    Recycling efforts on campus

    By Mika Cummins

    May 5, 2014

    Just about three years ago, the Student Government Association passed a motion 14-0 in favor of furthering the recycling efforts on Missouri Western's campus.

    Students in Free Enterprise went to SGA with the hopes of starting a recycling program on campus and were wanting to be granted $5,000 for the start-up of the program and purchase of a truck to help in the recycling pickup efforts.

    When SGA passed the motion on May 2, 2011, they granted SIFE $7,500 for the purchase a used truck with a camper shell and to cover start-up costs, such as liners for the recycling receptacles and promotional use across campus. At the time, Alison Norris had just been sworn in as SGA President.

    SIFE took the money and spent $5,500 on a used Ford Ranger, using the remaining amount to spread the word about recycling efforts to the students of Western's campus.

    Arrangements were made with Bright Disposal for a dumpster and the pickup of recycled material. Thanks to PepsiCo., Western was able to put in several blue Dream Machines all over campus.

    When it first went into effect, Dr. Jeanne Daffron, who is the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, was paying for student workers to pick up the recycling.

    While the recycling efforts is a small operation, it's still going in full force today. Mike West is the adviser for SIFE.

    Currently two to four student employees make the rounds to the buildings. The number varies depending on many hours the students can work.

    The students individually work anywhere between five and 15 hours per week. They are paid out of a small operating budget that Western set up for them when the recycling program was launched.

    According to West, the frequency of recycling pickup tends to vary.

    "The frequency varies, depending on the historical and anticipated volume," West said. "All of the buildings are serviced at least twice per week, some more often. Overall, rounds are made each day, Monday through Friday."

    The truck they bought is still a big essential for them.

    "They [the student workers] are removing multiple 55-gallon bags from each building," West said. "Once the truck is full, they must take all of the bags to the West Campus to put into the dumpster that we use for the recycling program."

  • Oklahoma State University/Stillwater (OSU-Stillwater) - Students Get Rid of Furniture, Help Others, 12-13

    Students get rid of furniture, help others

    Posted: Thursday, April 25, 2013 9:12 pm

    Students get rid of furniture, help othersBy KASSIE MCCLUNG Staff ReporterDaily O'Collegian

    Be freed of unwanted household items, and support the Stillwater community in the process.

    As students move out for the summer, the Oklahoma State University Student Government Association Sustainability Committee encourages students to donate unneeded or unwanted items to Real Pokes Pass It On.

    Real Pokes Pass It On is a program that takes donated household items and sells them for cheap to other students at the beginning of the fall semester. All earnings go to benefit a local charity.

    Rachel Benbrook, SGA Sustainability chairwoman, said the program raised $485 for the Payne County Youth Center last year.

    "We're collecting donations now, and we store them over the summer," Benbrook said. "We're selling everything in a fall garage sale. All proceeds will go to a local charity."

    Students can drop off small donation items in room 211, also known as the Campus Life area, in the Student Union from April 28 to May 2, Benbrook said. Small donations include clothes, small appliances, kitchenware, non-perishable food and other small items.

    Students interested in donating larger items, such as furniture, will need to make special arrangements by email, she said. Arrangements for pickup can be emailed to Benbrook at rachel.lauren.benbrook@okstate.edu with a description of the item(s) that are being donated. Appointments can be made until 5 p.m. today. Pickup day for big items is April 27.

    "We would really love for people to contact us," Benbrook said. "We're just really excited to do something for the Stillwater community."
