Members of SGMU attended two leadership conferences in the last several weeks.
Student Body President Kevin Kolb, Senior Class President Amy Bueno, Assistant Student Activities Director Matt Nelson, and two students from campus ministry attended the Indiana Campus Compact (ICC) Networking Meeting on Friday, September 30 at the University of Notre Dame.

The conference included workshops on working with state legislators to resolve issues, working with school administrators, utilizing resources on campus, and emphasizing service work.

Marian University has worked with the Indiana Campus Compact on events in the past such as ICC lobbying day, which lobbies the state legislature for the funding of higher education financial assistance.

3 SGMU sent three members to the IUPUI Project Leadership Day on October 1. Among those attending the conference were Student Body President Kevin Kolb, Vice President of Finance Andrew Kolb, and Student Representative At-Large Caleb Ringwald. The IUPUI team presented about communication, effective marketing, and goal setting.

To promote student leadership, SGMU launched a leadership library in the SGMU office, which is upstairs in the Ruth Lilly Student Center. Students can research leadership inspiration, games, and mission effectiveness to help with clubs or organizations.

Recent selections in the growing library include “Good to Great,” “Leading Change,” “Lincoln on Leadership,” “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” “The Essential Student Government Guide,” and over 20 others.

The SGMU suggestions box in the community room of the Ruth Lilly Center welcomes anonymous comments or suggestions to improve Student Government or student life in general. All comments and suggestions are checked and considered on a frequent basis. SGMU encourages everyone to have a voice heard and to “step up, speak out.”
