The Associated Students of Monmouth College, also known as ASMC, is the student government organization on campus. They meet every other Wednesday night at 6 p.m. in CSB 100. Their meetings run about 30 minutes, but they’ve added a new element in their meetings.
Last year, the administration hosted two “town halls” for the entire campus. The town halls brought many issues to light that we should all be aware of. The ASMC executive team, led by President Maggie Bruckner and Vice President Jazzmine Howlett, worked extremely hard to begin projects, documents, and plan events for the upcoming school year. The Roll Scots Roundtable was finalized a few weeks ago as Abierre Minor, Parliamentarian, created the model and questions for this discussion. There will be a Roundtable Talk every Full Body meeting for students to discuss a selected issue our student body is facing.
Last week, on September 18, the team hosted their first Roll Scots Roundtable Talk out of the series for this semester. ASMC was very articulate in the format and in setting up a Brave space for people to truly say what’s been on their minds. The discussion topic was: “What can be approved at Monmouth College? What’s missing? What could we bring back?” Almost every student in the room spoke about what they believe can improve the experience at Monmouth College. The discussion covered problems, solutions, and an overall recap of the talk. After each Roundtable, the ASMC executive team deliberates and figures out who they need to speak to and how to combat this issue. Each team member is in charge of figuring out a possible issue to one of the overall themes that were brought up during the meeting. At the following full body, each team member is responsible for reporting the progress of their particular solution. ASMC Full Body meetings are for ALL students. Please attend the meetings so that your student government can hear your voice. These discussions will help make a difference on our campus—next Full Body is October 2. Be there.
