SGA promotes practicing kindness around campus

SGA members discussed their ideas last Tuesday to promote random acts of kindness on campus.

These ideas included awarding raffle tickets or other items of positive reinforcement to students caught in the act of doing nice things for others throughout ordinary days.

SGA also discussed doing random acts of kindness themselves to promote kindness on campus.

After considering student opinion gathered in Scott Plaza last week, SGA further discussed the use of the Natatorium as an event space for any student groups or organizations to use.

President Adrian LeJeune discussed the benefits of an event space. LeJeune said it would be a larger space than the SUB Ballrooms.

“It would also be a space for the cheerleaders and Hawkline to practice in. Any organization or group that wants to rent the space for event purposes would be able to as well,” LeJeune said.

Chelsea Wyatt endorsed the idea of an event space.

“It’s almost like a battle to get event space, this would make things much easier to plan,” said Wyatt, a junior psychology major.

The Angel Tree has been set up in preparation for the annual Holidays at ULM event to take place on Nov. 25. New tags are being ordered to go on the tree, where students may select a child in desperate need residing in the Monroe area and buy the child gifts.

SGA will send any gifts taken to their office by Dec. 2 at 5 p.m. The last date to send gifts to Salvation Army is Dec. 15.

SGA senators moved to award the  ULM Chapter of Louisiana Society of Health-System Pharmacists a $500 scholarship to cover expenses for its weekend conference in May.

This motion passed unanimously.
