ASG’S GOALS FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR

With a new school year, MHCC’s Associated Student Government (ASG) leadership has new goals and ideas in mind that could encourage unity and a greater sense of community between students.

Many of these goals coincide directly with the goals of the college.

“We oriented these goals to be similar to the college goals so we’re all working towards a common purpose,” said ASG President Collin “Kazu” Lewis.

The ASG  held a retreat Aug. 30 to Sept. 1, and a team of about 21 collaborated to create the goals, said Chelsea Allison, the ASG vice president.

There are four main goals that ASG is focusing on this year.

Goal One focuses on increasing the amount of student involvement and engagement, both on-campus and off-campus. The leaders plan to identify areas of improvement by Nov. 20, working with Mt. Hood instructors and staff, Lewis said.

“A subgoal inside of the first goal is how to measure the goal statistically, from increasing student involvement and participation from about 2,400 to 3,000 students (total) at events,” Lewis said.

Goal Two is making students more aware of resources that MHCC and the community has to offer, working with the college staff and administration to increase awareness.

“The third goal is towards collaboration, working with college partners and clubs,” Lewis said.

The fourth and final goal is making communication around the school more effective.

ASG is also planning a few events in the evening for those students who have classes at later times, rather than in the morning.

“We are keeping in mind that evening programming is popular. Some events aren’t planned yet, but we are keeping that in mind,” Allison said.
