SGA Launches Elections Program
We’ve all been hearing the conversation around the exciting McCain-Obama race. Both tickets are poised to make history – and I feel very strongly that we students should be a part of the conversation. That’s why SGA has launched a new program called Engage 08.
Engage 08 is designed to heighten the conversation surrounding the issues, the Parties, and the candidates on campus. Exciting events, voter registration drives, buses to polling places, a nationally known keynote speaker, watch parties, and a Political Movie Series are all part of this great program.
It wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of many in SGA and without a partnership with the College Republicans, Young Democrats, the Student Sierra Coalition, and the Students for Obama.

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve heard of Obama’s “Blueprint for Change” by now. If you’re an employee of the federal government, then you should be wondering about just how this is going to affect you. According to Lois Romano and Eric Pianin of the Washington Post, there are “dozens” of proposals in his Blueprint that can change the career path for government employees. Obama plans to go through the budget line by line and eliminate waste. “I am not a Democrat who thinks that we can or should defend every government program just because it is there,” says the President Elect. While that may sound scary, and it may send many running for personal loans, don’t panic just yet: Obama has a broad domestic policy that will change skilled workers’ careers over to new programs. He also encourages the younger crowd to share in his idealism by participating through service.
