APCA Midwest Conference 2012 – Day 4

Goodbye, awesome view from my hotel room

Because we are Wisconsinites, we had to leave Iowa early Sunday morning so we wouldn’t miss too much of the Packer game in the afternoon. The day was much sunnier than when we arrived, and it was a really nice trip back. There were some pretty cool land formations around the Wisconsin/Iowa boarder.

It was a long but amazing weekend. I would recommend any Student Senate member to attend APCA, and I highly encourage MPTC students to join Student Senate so they can take advantage of opportunities like this.

Over the weekend we saw over 40 acts perform. We got a chance to talk to all the acts in person. They are some really talented, interesting people that love what they do and they really enjoy performing and talking to college students. I enjoyed talking to some awesome students from different states, learning from them, and just getting to know them. I got a lot out of attending the educational sessions. They were very helpful in providing advice and tips, and I plan to discuss what I’ve learned with the rest of Student Senate so we can start implementing ideas and create a better student life for our campus.

It’s not too late to join student clubs or Student Senate. If you’re not involved already, check them out now or at the beginning of the spring 2013 semester. Our next conference for Student Senate is NACA (National Association for Campus Activities) Northern Plains Regional Conference in the spring.
