Going into the 2012-2013 school year, Hood’s Student Government Association has centered its focus on academics and the student-professor relationship.
Students should keep their eyes out for a couple key changes in the classroom this year.
For first years, this year marks the exciting new First Year Seminar Program, with topics ranging from culinary expertise to the possibility of life after death and psychic encounters. First year seminars were added to the Hood College Curriculum because of the smaller class sizes and opportunities offered to first years to form close-knit relationships with classmates as well as professors.
In addition to announcing the First Year Seminar Program, SGA is happy to announce and officially welcome the new director to the CAAR Center, Herbert L. English, that Hood students had a voice in selecting.
The final two major academic changes SGA has had a hand in involve students declaring majors. The Student Government Association is currently in the process of planning and advertising a “Major Fair” where students will have the opportunity to discuss different career options as well as class requirements with professors, current students, and alumni of each particular program.
The final academic note is the change in the design for the t-shirt students receive when they formally declare their major. If any students have thoughts on the design of the “Major Decision” t-shirt they should contact Katie Hayes upon our return to school.
Overall, SGA is looking forward to an exciting year full of promise both academically and socially, so remember to speak up Hood College because “SGA has your back!”
