The Ides of May
Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! I know it is the middle of summer and there probably won't be many readers at this time, but as I'm finishing up my internship with Carl Levin (D-MI), I thought I'd enumerate some of my plans for the fall. As always, I am extremely open to suggestions/criticisms/hate mail, so any feedback anyone has is more than welcome.
1). Intern program- I think the MSA should have a more explicit, publicized program for freshman or other people new to the Assembly to be able to get a better understanding of the governing body and how they can get involved. I plan on talking this plan over with the President (Jesse) to see how it could be implanted. I'm thinking right now about internships with the committees/commissions, or the front office staff. But we'll see how it turns out. If anyone wants to be my intern, let me know. ;)
2) Work more with student groups. Student groups are the lifeblood of MSA, and I want to make sure I can touch base with as many of them as possible, so MSA's potential is better reached.
3) As I've mentioned earlier, I want to utilize my position as the External Relations Chair to get this campus more active and engaged on the higher education/tuition freeze front. Plans include, but are not limited to: a large lobby day in the fall, bringing together multiple campuses; work with the alumni association; calls and letters to state legislators; and media hits. I haven't talked much with Tim (the vice-chair) yet, but I'm sure he has some great ideas as well.
So that's about it. It should keep me very busy this fall, but if anyone has any kernel of an idea for a way to improve campus life, either in or outside of Ann Arbor, I'd love to lend an ear. But please, no Israel-related issues. We have more important things to do.
