LSA Student Government seeks to improve and enhance the undergraduate experience for the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.

If you are interested in running for a representative position or on a presidential/vice-presidential slate in the upcoming election, you must read the Winter 2009 Election Packet.  It is posted under “Important Documents” on the right side of this screen, and is also posted under the “Documents” section of this website.  This packet contains a Declaration of Candidacy Form that must be turned in to the Election Director by Sunday, March 8 at 5 pm.  If you have questions relating to the election, please contact the LSA Student Government Election Director, Dana Isenstein, at disen@umich.edu.

The Student Health Sub-Committee will focus on issues relating to the well-being of all students. This includes smoking restrictions on campus, sexually transmitted infection awareness, and mental health. Partnerships with CAPS and UHS will be maintained through this committeee. If you are interested in this committee or have an idea for a health project, please let the Chairs, Mark Chou (markchou@umich.edu) and Brandon Kappy (brkappy@umich.edu), know. The first meeting is on Wednesday, March 4th at 5:30pm in 2001 LSA Building. We hope to see you there!

There will be a meeting for involved LSA SG representatives, associated representatives, and executives who are NOT planning to run in the upcoming election to discuss how we are going to publicize the election and educate voters on the candidates, the new system, and LSA SG in general. This will take place immediately after this Tuesday’s LSA SG General Meeting (2/17) in 2002 LSA Building. Hope to see you all there!

We need to celebrate the Town Hall event, Night of LSA, BAC Day, and, most importantly, all of our NEW members!

All SG members and friends are invited and encouraged to attend this semester’s Retreat.

It starts at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 7th at the Union.

First, we’ll all head to Whirley Ball of Ann Arbor (750 Phoenix Drive, Ann Arbor) where we will play some games, eat some pizza, and compete in some intense bumper car action. We will then return to campus and officially end the Retreat.

Stick around because the fun doesn’t have to stop.

Email John Monaghan at jpmon@umich.edu if you would like to come.

Wednesday, Feb. 4, 6-8pm in the East Hall Math Atrium.

Free food. Great performances. Awesome auction items. Ralph Williams.

Bring your friends. Spread the word.
