Unfortunately, the Earth Day campus clean-up was cancelled due to snow on Thursday. It seems silly to think that we’d have standing snow at the end April. I was looking forward to spending some time outside, especially after this long winter. Instead, they held a short meeting in room T-208, which is upstairs. There aren’t many rooms upstairs at MPTC’s West Bend campus. In fact, this was my first time upstairs. Had I not looked at a map, I would not have known the room was upstairs.
This Student Senate is a group of exuberant people. The president even brings his own gavel to meetings! They were very welcoming and happy for me to join them for the first time. There are definitely perks to being involved in this group. Just for participating in a Student Senate meeting, you get a voucher for a free lunch in the cafeteria for the day. During their next meeting it sounds like they are going to Tomaso’s for pizza. I’ve heard they go to leadership conferences, too.
While I was there, they needed to discuss a few business items on their agenda. Other clubs can ask the Student Senate for money for trips. A club from the accounting program is going on a trip to Nationals in May.
The senate was making last minute arrangements for next Wednesday’s event, Last Blast. It’s a casino-themed event. There’s going to be casino games, free lunch and door prizes. One of the door prizes I heard them talking about is a TV. The event will be in the West Bend cafeteria from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s free for students. I’m really looking forward to it.
The Earth Day clean up is rescheduled for the last Thursday of the semester. There will be more details posted later on flyers and on the events calendar on the Moraine Park website.
It didn’t fit into my schedule this semester, but I’m thinking about joining Student Senate in the fall. I think it would be fun to come up with and plan events for my fellow students.
