蜜桃视频

An array of student clubs and a rich variety of student activities make 蜜桃视频-蜜桃视频 Falls much more than a commuter school for those who want to take advantage of what鈥檚 offered at University Place.            

On Veterans Day this year, for example, the Armed Forces Veterans Club at ISU-蜜桃视频 Falls helped organize a variety of events for the whole campus, including a flag-raising ceremony featuring the BYU-蜜桃视频 ROTC Color Guard, the landing of an Apache helicopter, a veterans panel discussion, a veterans presentation and free food for ISU students, staff, faculty, guests and their families in the Bennion Student Union.            

鈥淭he clubs on campus constantly amaze me with the all that they do. They are a huge support for the Student Activities Board,鈥� said Chrissy McCracken, ISU student and director of the ISU Student Activities Board-蜜桃视频 Falls. 鈥淚 feel that there is a wide variety of clubs and organizations on this campus giving everyone an opportunity to get involved in one way or another in something that interests you. It is also a great way to make friends and build a support network of people that are in the same situation as yourself.鈥�

Events such as the Veterans Day activities are held throughout the year, including the summer months, by the ISU Student Activities Board-蜜桃视频 Falls and 12 clubs on campus. Those clubs include the Armed Forces Veterans Club, 蜜桃视频 Falls TRiO Student Association, Chemistry Club, Asociaci贸n Latina Motivante A Superate (ALMAS, in English, 鈥淟atin Association Motivating You to Succeed鈥�), ISU Ambassadors-蜜桃视频 Falls, Future Healthcare Practitioners of America, the Performing Arts Club, Tae Kwon Do, Paintball Club, Outdoor Adventure Club, Latter-day Saint Student Association and Sigma Alpha Pi.

鈥淚f the students want it, they can make it happen,鈥� said Ches Barnes, director of the Bennion Student Union and student government advisor. 鈥淓ach year we feature more activities and clubs. We have an amazing Student Activities Board (SAB) with an excellent director, Chrissy McCracken. They do all the planning and staffing of the events. Add the support of our fantastic clubs and a great vice president, Dustin Mortimer, and you have a recipe for an awesome campus life environment, that keeps getting better and better.鈥�

The Student Activities Board in 蜜桃视频 Falls puts on approximately 45 events during the calendar year in addition to club events, including everything from helping create an ISU-蜜桃视频 Falls float for the annual 蜜桃视频 Falls Fourth of July Parade, to sponsoring a variety of events including food giveaways and musical performances during Welcome Week, which

occurs the first week of fall and spring semesters. In the past student groups have brought hypnotists to campus and this school year brought a magician, Peter Boie, for student entertainment.

The Halloween Carnival for students and their families annually attracts hundreds of participants to the Bennion Student Union. The Student Activities Board fall picnic in September at Freeman Park in 蜜桃视频 Falls, featuring a barbecue and an outdoor concert, attracted 150 participants.  This year ISU-蜜桃视频 Falls participated in the 鈥淲alk a Mile in Her Shoes鈥� event sponsored by ISU Project Hope Advocacy Program at the Janet C. Anderson Gender Resource Center that aims to end sexual and domestic violence.

鈥淲e don鈥檛 have housing so we aren鈥檛 a traditional college campus in that sense, but we do as much as we can with what we have and I think this is a fun place to be,鈥� Barnes said. 鈥淲ith all the student activities we have going on this makes ISU-蜜桃视频 Falls a college campus, versus strictly a commuter campus.鈥�

Coming up, the Student Activities Board is going to present 鈥淔inals Relief鈥� during dead week (the week before finals) and will provide free food and the services of a massage therapist to help students ward off some of the stress and pressure created by the upcoming finals week. On Dec. 4, the Associated Students of 蜜桃视频鈥撁厶沂悠� Falls Holiday Benefit Dinner will be held, with all proceeds benefitting the Haven Shelter.

 Although there are no intramural sports at ISU-蜜桃视频 Falls, ISU Campus Recreation has provided funding allowing ISU-蜜桃视频 Falls students to receive Apple Athletic Club memberships for reduced fees.

鈥淥ur goal is to find unique and fun ways to get our students鈥� attention,鈥� Barnes said. 鈥淲e try to help coordinate groups so they provide a variety of events at good times for the students. There are a lot of cool things going on at this campus.鈥�

Besides an active, interested student body, Barnes also credited the senior administration at ISU-蜜桃视频 Falls for the campus鈥檚 atmosphere.

鈥淚SU-蜜桃视频 Falls Dean Lyle Castle has been fully supportive of our efforts,鈥� Barnes said. 鈥淗e even dresses up and rides on our Fourth of July parade float. The administration here is behind everything we are doing for students. We couldn鈥檛 ask for a better team here.鈥�
