  • SGA Credit By Toni Saddler Associate Editor This fall, several Student Government Association members including the president, the vice president, the cabinet members, and all senators will be able to receive credit hours for their work in SGA in addition to attending several seminars throughout the semester. This course, PSC 483 (fall) and 484 (spring) will hopefully enable SGA members to become more proficient in the area of government and also enable them to better apply concepts of governmental leadership to their work in SGA. The seminars that the students will be required to attend will consist of a combination of presentations by political science professors, and a number of visits by practitioners in the area of city government congressmen, city managers and/or mayors. Also, during one of the seminars, Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs Glenn Stillion will make a presentation about the interrelation of governmental units on campus. The seminars will generally meet about one-and-one- half hours before the weekly senate meetings on about nine different occasions. The course is not mandatory for the SGA members, but it is hoped that it would be beneficial for everyone involved. Another part of the course will be a term paper that will be written on their experiences in SGA in relation to some of the things that they have learned about government during the seminars. The tentative number of credit hours that the senators and cabinet will receive is two, and the vice president and president will probably receive three hours credit because of the number of hours that they put into their jobs. Plans, however, are subject to change because the course, although to be implemented in the fall, is still in its final planning stages.
