The Student Government Association hosted its final meeting of this semester last night in Comanche Suites of the Clark Student Center.
This meeting was shorter than most due to the rare occasion that all proposed changes were unanimously passed.
Lindsey Shelley, student regent, gave a presentation regarding her student regent position. The deadline for new student regent applications is Friday, Dec. 9.
Shelley mentioned some of the job responsibilities with being a student regent.
“You are a non-voting member of the Board of Regents, but you are there to present the students’ voice and opinions,” Shelley said.
Mentioning that the student regent position requires the applicants to be service-minded, as well as be willing to serve the state of Texas.
Shelley, being an MSU alumni with a nursing degree, has taken on the student regent roll on top of being an ER Nurse at United Regional.
The time commitment,with no compensation, is a true testament to the dedication the student regent holds.
The room fell silent when she asked about interest regarding the student regent position this coming year, followed by a small joke about keeping their interest in the position secret, as the position holds a very competitive application process.
