Bates College - Chai Chat (Signature Program)

Students Spill Tea with BCSG

March 8, 2023
By Catalina Passino and Trinity Poon

Bates College Student Government (BCSG) held their first ever “Chai Chat” on March 1. Students were invited to come to The Ronj on Frye Street, enjoy a cup of lavender chai and engage with student representatives regarding their questions or concerns about student life.

Assembly Representatives from each class year were in attendance, in addition to BCSG Co-Presidents Ali Manning ‘23 and Kush Sharma ‘23.

During the event, BCSG encouraged students to speak on stage, write their comments via an anonymous suggestion box or send in questions through an Instagram livestream, ensuring that every student had a chance to be heard.

Manning kicked off the town-hall style meeting by explaining the selection process for the college’s new president, Garry W. Jenkins. Manning indicated that there was to be more open communication and an improved liaison between students and the new president. She went further to announce BCSG’s plan to author an open letter to Jenkins, establishing a new narrative between the two.

To begin the commenting period, an anonymous student stated their desire for more senior events before the end of the school year. Student government representatives responded by directing seniors to look into the Senior Co-Presidents Committee which is looking for event suggestions. Their instagram is @batesseniors2023.

Another student requested more grab-and-go food options. Representatives from the Class of 2026 responded, saying that they are currently in touch with Dining, Conferences and Campus Events (DCCE), but for now, the food truck is the only alternative dining option for students who do not wish to eat in Commons. The representatives have suggested grab-n-go refrigerators in other buildings, but financial and staffing barriers remain.

Issues concerning water pressure and temperature in dorm showers were also brought up. BCSG expressed that they are in continuous communication with the facilities director, Geoff Swift, to address these issues. They also encouraged students to utilize facilities’ text messaging service when issues arise.

Later in the “Chai Chat,” BCSG mentioned the new addition of three ballot questions for the upcoming election. These questions will appear when a student votes for their class representatives. Though unfinalized, Sharma indicated that they may revolve around issues such as free/cheaper laundry, increased student wages, increased CAPS funding and an arts initiative.

When students conveyed their desire for more parking on campus, BCSG reps responded by saying that another parking lot was unlikely and that the handbook indicates that buying a parking pass does not guarantee parking. However, students proposed that BCSG encourage facilities and maintenance vehicles to move out of student spaces in the Merrill parking lot to free up spaces.

Next, students addressed the ongoing faculty push for a new two-course requirement that falls under a Race, Privilege, Power, Colonialism label. They mentioned that one class would have to fall within the student’s major and would differ on the national and global scale. Some classes would already fulfill this requirement, and it is proposed to be enacted within the coming years.

When asked about her thoughts on the event, student attendee, Trinity Monstwillo ‘26 remarked, “[The “Chai Chat”] was a good way to get involved.” She further expressed her appreciation for the anonymous papers as “a good way to get people to actually voice their concerns since there were not a lot of people who went up to the microphone to voice their concerns.”

BCSG has not yet announced when the next “Chai Chat” will take place, but they plan to host another. With any questions about the topics mentioned above, feel free to contact your class representatives for more information.

East Carolina University - Iris Photo Booth (Signature Program)

SGA Unveils Iris Photo Booth

Sep 17, 2025
By Jordan Adams

East Carolina University's Student Government Association has unveiled a new self-service photo booth for professional headshots. The booth was provided by the photo booth service company Iris and is completely free for students, staff, and alumni. It’s located in the Student Government Association Suite in Room 223 in the Main Campus Student Center.

SGA President Daniel Walker said that the idea was first developed during the ninth SGA session. “Professional headshots for LinkedIN or resumes can often cost hundreds of dollars,” he said. “They can be unaffordable for many students.”

ECU staff and students can take professional headshots in just under five minutes. The booth is open for drop-in sessions from 9 am to 4 pm during business days and is ADA accessible. The space is reserved for faculty and staff on Fridays and is closed during finals week and university closure.

Users will first check in with the SGA staff in their MCSC office. Three timed photos will be taken and sent to the email address provided at the beginning of the session. Users must make an official Iris account to download and further edit photos. Editing tools are provided both during the session and online after the pictures are received.

There’s no limit to how long sessions can last or to how many times photos can be retaken. However, SGA asks for users to be mindful of others who want to use the booth. Staff will be available for any assistance needed.

“Over 150 students have already taken advantage of the booth”, said Walker.

The SGA website recommends wearing darker-colored business casual or business formal attire. The Interior Design and Merchandising Department in the Rivers Building offers professional clothing donated by alumni and the local community. It is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 pm to 4:30 pm, and Wednesdays by appointment.

Any photos taken are for professional purposes and should not be used for any government documents as it does not meet government specifications.

SGA will partner with Career Services for Headshots and Hoagies during National Career Development Week on November 20. Students will have the opportunity to take professional headshots and receive guidance on how to market themselves to a professional audience.

SGA is also developing another opportunity for students to develop their careers called the SGA Summer Scholarship for Regional Transformation. This initiative will provide stipends to support students completing summer internships in the 29 Eastern North Carolinian counties. Future professional events will be posted on SGA’s social media accounts.

For additional assistance, students and staff can contact the Student Government Association by phone or email.

Emerson College - Lion's Den extended hours (Article: March 2025)

College announces extended hours in the Lion’s Den for the rest of the semester in response to SGA initiative

March 18, 2025
By Rylie Burns

The Lion’s Den, one of Emerson’s busiest social spots, will now be open on the weekends and operate on extended hours, according to an email sent to the Emerson community by the college on Sunday.

This change is being made in response to feedback received from various student organizations, like the Student Government Association and the Student Presidential Advisory Group.

While the Lion’s Den kitchen will operate on its usual hours, the space will be open longer during the week and on weekends, providing greater access to students to utilize on-campus spaces.

“We understand the importance of these spaces—places beyond home, work, or class—for fostering connection, creativity, and collaboration,” the email read. “The Lion’s Den has been a gathering spot for students, faculty, and staff, and by extending its hours, we aim to create even more opportunities for meaningful interactions, casual conversations, and community-building.”

The email specifically addressed the needs of off-campus students in utilizing the space.

“We also acknowledge that our off-campus students require additional space to gather during the evenings and on weekends. These extended hours offer more chances for commuters to meet, relax, and engage with the Emerson community outside of class time,” the email continued.

Monday through Friday, the Lion’s Den kitchen will operate on regular hours and the space will stay open from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. The space will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturdays, and 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sundays. The kitchen will remain closed on both Saturday and Sunday.

“Increasing access to third spaces has been a huge priority for our administration this year,” SGA President Nandan Nair wrote in a statement to The Beacon. “We’re really thankful to everyone in leadership that helped to problem solve and put this into motion, and so happy that we are able to deliver on one of our campaign promises.”

Harford Community College (HCC) - "Claws for a Cause" Claw Machine

At Harford Community College, we used the remainder of our 2023-2024 SGA budget to purchase a claw machine called "Claws for a Cause," which is filled with prizes from our school store, ranging from blankets to polaroid cameras.

While the prizes attract students and staff, the real impact comes from the income generated by the machine. During its first semester, which happened to be over the summer, the machine made roughly $400. As a community college, our budgets are often smaller than those of four-year institutions. During the ASGA conference, my executive board and I had to remind ourselves that it’s okay we can’t do as much as four-year schools. Our budgets, student demographics, and retention rates differ, but our students’ concerns remain similar. They struggle with affording classes and balancing school, work, and family obligations.

What our students don’t know is that the income from the claw machine is being set aside to fund scholarships. Our students expressed the need for financial support, and we listened—but we also made it realistic for a community college setting.

Iowa State University (ISU) - Parking Ticket Relief Program

StuGov launches parking ticket relief program

September 4, 2024
By Claire Cosier

Student Government approved the launch of a parking ticket relief pilot program for students during their Senate meeting Wednesday. To be eligible, students must apply to the program and work two to three hours, depending on the parking ticket, at the Students Helping Our Peers (SHOP), a student-run food pantry on campus.

“We’re not trying to give students more work; they’re already super busy as it is,” Bob Carver, director of affordability, said. “So just giving them two to three hours of good volunteer work, not adding too much stress to their schedule, they’re still getting their parking tickets paid off and they’re still able to do the most important thing here, which is being a student.”

According to Carver, when the bill was initially created last year, the minimum amount for an illegal parking ticket was $30. The relief was set to cover a maximum of $50. Over the summer, the minimum rate was raised to $50, which caused the Senate to raise the maximum ticket coverage to $60, allowing for the raised ticket prices. The program will only cover one parking ticket per student per academic year.

“The idea of this is to get people involved in the community and do something that matters,” Mytch Hagan, director of academic affairs, said. “Rather than have someone just say, ‘Okay, I’ll just pick up an extra shift at work to pay for the ticket,’ now they’re actually getting involved and doing something.”

The SHOP food pantry, which is in constant need of volunteers, provides essential services to combat food insecurity.

“Overall, this bill is strategizing to make sure our students are helping each other and creating a more vibrant community,” Carver said.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) - Period products (Signature Program), 2019

Period products absent from campus, Student Government takes action

October 16, 2019
By Madeline Wilson and Sapna Raghavan

This year, all feminine hygiene products provided in women's bathrooms—both free and paid for—are no longer being restocked by the Environmental and Site Services department. In response to student complaints, the Business Operations Committee of the Executive Board responded by purchasing period products to place in all three women’s bathrooms in the Rensselaer Union.

An anonymous student complaint was posted to Reddit on September 27 highlighting the lack of tampons and pads in Union bathrooms. A day later, Vice Chair of the Business Operations Committee Yaseen Mahmoud ’22 replied with intentions to investigate the problem and fix it as soon as possible. Mahmoud, along with Ben Volk '19, chair of the committee, immediately purchased both pads and tampons out of pocket to place in Union bathrooms, unwilling to wait for the next meeting of their committee.

In an interview with The Polytechnic, Volk explained that in order to create a more permanent solution, the committee reached out to administrators in the Union office to work towards funding and plans for long-term restocking. “We’re working with the Union to try to get more funding to continue to refill those bins that Yaseen and I put in there, as well as add additional bins to the gender-neutral bathrooms and some of the men’s bathrooms.”

Administrators were unaware of the problem, but reached out to the office responsible for the dispensers on campus for further information. E&SS responded that the reasons for removing the products were cost, ADA compliance, clogging issues, and “relatively low usage.” When asked about the future restocking for the rest of campus, Volk replied that the responsibility lies with E&SS, but he expressed doubt in the timely return of these products.

The Poly reached out to E&SS for confirmation and further information multiple times. The office responded with intent to comment, but did not.

University of California/Davis - ASUCD Aggie Reuse Store

The ASUCD Aggie Reuse Store reopens after being closed for months

By Jessica Yung

On Oct. 28, the ASUCD Aggie Reuse Store reopened after being closed for nearly half of the quarter due to hiring delays.

The reuse store offers secondhand goods including water bottles, shirts, pants, shoes, lab coats and various other items. The goods that the reuse store provides are free to all students and the larger community and are made available through donations. The store is located at Memorial Union #154 with new hours Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Kate Richards, the Aggie Reuse Store unit director and a second-year history major, expanded on the reason for the delayed opening.

“Because ASUCD hires for all their units at the same time and employs so many students on campus, it’s hard for them to process all the applications,” Richards said.

Richards described the collaborations the store was having with a local downtown business.

“Currently, we are partnering with Yesterday Vintage, so if you donate three or more items to Aggie Reuse you get a 15% off coupon to Yesterday,” Richards said.

The mission of the Aggie Reuse Store is to “promote sustainable fashion and creative upcycling by providing a source for basic needs to the overall community and therefore discouraging fast fashion,” according to their website.

Richards further elaborated on the goals of the establishment, including its unique and community-oriented business model.

“Aggie Reuse runs on a mutual-aid model, which means that everything is free,” Richards said. “We provide an incredibly important basic needs resource to many people living in Davis. We help alleviate any financial burdens students face. The other purpose is to try and make sustainable living accessible to everyone. There is no limit to the amount of things that people can take from the store.”

However, Aggie Reuse does have policies on their donations: “No rips, holes, [and] stains. Please wash clothes before donating,” according to their website.

Richards further explained these donation policies in detail.

“You can stop by and drop off donations anytime we’re open,” Richards said. “We take everything we can but are unable to accept undergarments/bathing suits, large furniture, children’s clothing, technology — such as computers/phones/headphones, although we will take phone chargers or cases — and anything torn, stained or excessively dirty.”

Mileyna Soo, a fourth-year computer science major and a sales volunteer at Aggie Reuse, discussed the store’s changes in advertising and decorations, including being featured on the Unitrans buses.

“I just know that [the bus advertising] is a project that Aggie Reuse was working on last year, so I thought it was really cool to see it when we came back to school,” Soo said. “ I think the decorations in Aggie Reuse highlight the juxtaposition between the store and the rest of the Memorial Union. Since it’s so different, people walking by get curious and take a peek inside.”

The volunteer staff is composed of “Data Analytics, Design, Social Media, Sales, and Marketing,” and applications are open to anyone, according to the Aggie Reuse website.

Richards talked about the process of becoming a volunteer for the organization.

“We hire volunteers at the beginning of each quarter, and our spaces are almost full, but you can apply at any time, and we’ll let you know when there’s space on the team,” Richards said. “The volunteering info/application can be found on our Instagram.”

Richards encouraged anyone who is interested to reach out and join their cause.

“If you have any questions about donations, volunteering, potential collaborations or anything else, feel free to email aggiereuse@asucd.ucdavis.edu,” Richards said.

University of Georgia (UGA) - Clothes

The clothes are free. The confidence is priceless.

SGA Professional Clothing Closet now open for students and accepting donations

After two years of student-led planning, shining scissors cut bright red ribbon on Thursday, Nov. 21, celebrating the grand opening of the Student Government Association Professional Clothing Closet in Milledge Hall.

Students and officials including (L-R, from blonde male) SGA Sen. Matthew McDaniel, President Jere W. Morehead, SGA President Rachel Byers, Vice President for Student Affairs Victor Wilson and SGA Sen. Sabina Ashurova cut the ribbon at the opening of the SGA Professional Clothing Closet on Reed Quad.

The SGA Professional Clothing Closet provides professional attire to students at no cost and on short notice. Students may keep the clothing for future use.

Students Sabina Ashurova and Matthew McDaniel recognized the need for access to professional clothing after giving out their personal dress clothes to their colleagues.

“If colleagues in our spheres need this, then I bet there are a ton of students out there that need this too,” McDaniel said. “We started our research phase, and with 1,200 responses, 75% showed overwhelming support that they need professional clothing.”

While McDaniel said he expected the need for professional clothes to be greater with business majors, the research showed the need across all majors.

“At the beginning of each year, students need professional clothing for student organization executive board interviews, then career fairs and networking events come soon after,” he explained. “They may learn on Monday that there is a potential employer coming on Thursday and need the attire on short notice. We saw this closet as the missing puzzle piece for students to have professional success.”

SGA also directs students to the Career Center for resume critiquing, mock interviews and professional advice, he explained.

Alumni, staff and community partners donated more than 2,000 articles of clothing to jumpstart the closet.

“This initiative is expansive and requires ongoing support,” said Patrick Femia, Grady College of Journalism & Mass Communication SGA senator.

“They understand the need and are willing to forfeit some of their clothing to donate, and it shows they do whatever they can to give back,” said McDaniel. “Everyone is committed because it is more than a suit…it is the first resource you have as you walk into an interview.”

Hannah Payne, SGA Senate communications director, explained how it also comes down to providing students with confidence.

“When you walk into a room in a good suit, it changes how you feel about talking to the person across the table,” said Payne.

SGA represents all UGA students, and this is a way alumni can partner in making an impact, she explained.

“Everyone needs a champion … someone who says, ‘I believe in you,” and we believe in you at UGA,” said Payne.

Donors and UGA administrators showed their support at the ribbon cutting ceremony on Reed Quad, which featured speakers, a professional clothing fashion show and a tour of the new closet in room 101 of Milledge Hall.

“We are always looking for opportunities to remove barriers for students,” said Victor K. Wilson, vice president for Student Affairs. “With this initiative, students can focus on being their typical best – and not how they’re dressed.”

Christina Thomas modeled an outfit at the event featuring a blazer and skirt through the student modeling organization, the Agency.

She said she felt confident walking across the quad in front of everyone because of the clothes. She wanted her walk to communicate regardless of where a student is financially or academically, they can feel confident because of this closet.

“When I wear something like this, I feel like I can kill any interview,” she said.

Reminiscing on the closet planning process, McDaniel shared the impact he saw during the closet’s trial period. He saw one student at the Career Fair who was able attend because of the closet.

“The student got an interview from the Career Fair and is interning with the company this summer,” he said. “If it made a difference even for that one student, this project paid off.”

“I am very proud of the way our SGA is meeting an important need for our students, and I congratulate them on what they have done,” said University of Georgia President Jere W. Morehead.

University of Michigan/Ann Arbor (UM) - CSG Pop-up Thrift Store

CSG hosts free pop-up thrift store in the Michigan Union

March 13, 2023
by Ryan Kersten

The University of Michigan Central Student Government organized a pop-up thrift store in the Kuenzel Room of the Michigan Union over the weekend of March 12. Hundreds of students stopped by to browse a collection of donated clothes and take home free new ‘fits.’

CSG partnered with the National Panhellenic Conference, the Residence Halls Association and the U-M Interfraternity Council to arrange the event. For the past month, CSG has had collection boxes where people could donate their old clothes in residence halls, fraternity and sorority houses and some Ann Arbor apartment buildings.

LSA sophomore Bipasha Ray, CSG chief programming officer and one of the event’s organizers explained the goals of the event to The Michigan Daily.

“The whole point of the event is to increase sustainability, reduce clothing waste and bridge the accessibility gap for clothing,” Ray said.

Ray estimated that CSG collected about 1,000 articles of clothing during the donation period. Ray also said CSG is planning to donate any clothes that were not thrifted by students during the event to For Days, a sustainable fashion business that buys and sells recycled clothing and promotes a circular fashion industry, or an industry in which clothes are reused or turned into new types of textiles from rags to rugs.

“We’ve been collaborating with this company (called For Days),” Ray said. “Any extra clothing that we aren’t able to distribute (is) going to be turned into housing insulation.”

LSA junior Marguerite Courtney, who stopped by the thrift store over the weekend, said she enjoyed the convenience of being able to pick up new-old clothes in the Union.

“I always find it cool when they have like the little thrift store that pops up in the Unions,” Courtney said. “I know a few other groups have done it before. Especially because I noticed, like me as a student, I have a bunch of random clothes I don’t wear anymore, and then it’s also fun to get new stuff.”

LSA sophomore Giana Maniaci, who also attended the event, said she hopes CSG will do another pop-up clothing shop in the future. She said she could see CSG getting more students involved in the future, meaning there would be even more clothes to choose from.

“I think it’d be good to get the word out about it a little bit more just so they get more clothes in, more clothes out,” Maniaci said.

Ray said she looks forward to offering similar events in the future with the support of CSG.

“I feel like oftentimes people don’t really know what (CSG) does,” Ray said. “I think events like this (are) so successful, and so many people are really happy to see these kinds of events and are happy to take part in (them). I think that’s the whole point of student government.”

University of Missouri/Kansas City (UMKC) - SGA 30for30 Campaign, 21-22

30for30 Campaign
The 30for30 Campaign is a part of the 2021-2022 SGA board's mission to increase the student body's engagement in their activities as well as students' exposure to student government. The campaign aims to show support for as many student organizations as possible (while reducing the burnout of those student government representatives). SGA members pledge to attend at least 1 student organization's meeting on behalf of the entire board on average every week.

This Campaign has been accompanied by other initiatives, including SGA's involvement in UnionFest, an event that exposes students to new student groups. This was in addition to SGA recording participatory videos in the First Semester Experience course required for all freshman attending the academic institution.
