The New Year greeted The Biscayne Bay Campus’ Student Government Association with some adjustments in the cabinet. Former chief of staff, Leo Cosio, will now be assuming the position of Vice President.
This is one of several changes that the SGA-BBC cabinet has undergone. We congratulate the officers that have been appointed new positions this year and we wish them all the best for the spring semester.
SGA-BBC exercised their teamwork and communication skills at FIU’s Team Ropes Adventure Challenge. The course consisted of many team-oriented activities like kayaking, climbing and balancing. The course challenged each members’ trust in eachother and emphasized the importance of proper communication within the group.
It also required a great deal of cooperation within the group in order to complete each task. Through the exercises, the council members learned a lot about themselves and their fellow teammates. The course highlighted some ways in which SGA-BBC can improve their team dynamic to become more efficient and in turn, be more productive as an organization.
The Women’s Center and SGA-BBC partnered up to host the Lunch Learn and Lean In: Presidential Inauguration Discussion on Jan. 17. The discussion was both educational and interactive. It gave the students the opportunity to express their opinions about the recent election and our new president, Donald Trump.
The discussion covered topics such as: Trump’s voter demographic, fake news, why Trump won, the needs of the government and Trump’s promises for the country. The students engaged in the discussion with tact and respect making the event a great success.
As part of the month-long celebration of Martin Luther King, SGA-BBC showed their support at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Bust ribbon-cutting ceremony held on Jan. 12. The event was hosted by FIU’s Department of Multicultural Programs and Services.
They also attended the annual MLK Commemorative Breakfast on that was held on Jan. 13. There, council members got the opportunity to interact with various community leaders and organizations centered around diversity and multiculturalism in Miami.
Recruiting new members is a top priority for SGA-BBC this semester. There are several positions that need to be filled to complete the council.
SGA-BBC is always on the lookout for new talent and skill to add to the organization. Students are encouraged to visit the SGA-BBC office, to learn more about the open positions and other opportunities that are available.
SGA-BBC has some thrilling new events in store for the students the semester and look forward to your participations and cooperation. Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming events.
