A CTIVITIES AND O RGANIZATIONS
The need for new friends
and new interests may
be fulfilled, in part, by
becoming involved in one or
more of the activities, clubs, or
professional organizations on
campus. Fellowship, leadership
opportunities, fun, and
rewarding experiences come
from such memberships.
Combined with the formal
education on campus, these
organizations help students
prepare for the challenges of
tomorrow.
Students are encouraged to
become active early in their
collegiate careers and continue
their activities throughout their
years at Lawrence Tech.
Faculty and staff members
advise the clubs and organizations,
and the Office of
Marketing and Public Affairs
offers help with publicity and
reports news of activities on-
sored and supported by the
Student Government.
Student Government business
is conducted twice monthly.
All interested students are
encouraged to attend meetings
and express their views.
Contact the Student
Government through the
Office of Student Activities
and Recreation. The Student
Government actively endorses
all Lawrence Tech clubs and
organizations that are beneficial
to personal and scholastic
achievement.
The Student Government is
composed of three interacting
branches working in cooperation
with each other. They are
the Student Administration, the
Student Senate, and various
committees. The Student
Administration consists of a
president, vice president, and
treasurer, who are elected in a
spring campus-wide election.
A secretary and various committee
chairmen are appointed
by the president and approved
by the Senate. Students
become eligible to be members
of a Student Government committee
by simply attending the
meetings. Members of the
Student Senate include official
representatives from each reccampus
and to the media.
To be eligible to run for
office in any campus organization,
students must have a
cumulative grade point average
of at least 2.0. They will
be requested to withdraw from
office at the end of any semester
in which their semester
grade point average falls
below 1.8. In order to hold a
Student Government office, a
student must maintain at least
a 2.3 grade point average.
Students interested in forming
new organizations should contact
the director of Student
Activities or Student
Government president for
assistance and for membership
in the Student Government,
whose approval is necessary
for official recognition and
funding assistance.
