We heard about student govare only five or six people ernment through some on a branch that can come friends and became a comup with so much, and hav- mittee member. I went to ing students involved by the meetings and I lived giving us input and ideas where I put my ideas. I got of what can happen really to see all the plans go into helps because they think action and thought it was of things that we don't really cool, T m helping think of. We plan a Jot of do this.' So I started as a things for the fall since committee member, gothere aren't a lot of stu- ing to the retreats, to the dents here in the summer. events. It really helped me break out of my shell. Then the next year I applied for council and I got the activities chair position. And now I am doing this, which I never thought I would do. I love it. There has been a lot of learning and growing through the experience. Q: plans What at are your UVSC? A: This is my last year at UVSC. I am getting a bachelor's degree in business management. So I plan to graduate at the end of April. I could end up back here because I know they are working on the master's program for business. Q: How do you feel about the school becoming a university? It was so fun going up to the capitol. I don't know a whole lot about politics or the logistics of it, but from being on council, I knew what was going on and I heard about it a lot. The president always let us know what was happening. It was nice to be involved. When people would ask me, I would be able to answer questions. This school, if you look at the history, has grown so fast. It is something that I think will boost school spirit, especially with alumni. You get a little more pride by having university status. I have heard other people talk about how they are excited for university to be on their degrees. I am excited because I am going to graduate from a university. I love it; this is exactly what the school needed. A: I think it is fantastic. the college lime/ UVSC BOOKSTORE Editor in chief Your College. Your Needs.
