The Student Government Association is actively pursuing new ideas for this school year.

Caleb Smith, an SGA senator and a senior marketing major, came up with the idea to get opinions from other senate members on new things the SGA can improve at Tech.

“Senators involved in SGA, are leaders on campus and they care about Tech,” Smith said.

He also said the senate came up with the idea to help students learn the alma mater and the fight song.

“I look forward to promoting school spirit by reprinting Tech spirit cards, creating T-shirts and finding other creative ways to teach students the fight song and alma mater,” Smith said.

Lindsay Mencacci, SGA president and a senior biology major, said she thinks it is awesome to hear new ideas from the senate.

“All the ideas that were given at the meeting were astounding,” Mencacci said. “Now the next step is to go forth with the planning.”

Mencacci said the meeting was a great brainstorming session.

“We don’t get the opportunity often to just sit and talk about ideas,” Mencacci said. “We have to realize these are just ideas and it will take hard work and dedication to see some of these ideas develop.”

Mencacci said the brainstorming meeting was something they have not done before.

“I think it is a great idea, being an SGA member, for students to say what is on their mind,” Mencacci said. “A lot of the time people have the wrong idea or don’t understand something, so it gives me a chance to clarify what is going on and resolve some of the rumors.”

The SGA says it is open to other suggestions. To voice an opinion or a comment, e-mail the SGA at sga@latech.edu.
