Student Involvement on the Midcoast Campus

Hello fellow students! This semester we have new groups forming and the opportunities for students to be involved in activities are opening up. As the new CeSIL Representative on the Midcoast campus, it is important to increase student involvement and provide students with fun, engaging opportunities. At the close of the Fall 2015 semester a survey was sent out to Midcoast students to see what interested them most. Well, we’ve heard your voices and are responding with gusto!

The first group students chose is Mentoring/Community Service: A group designed to help guide and counsel students in their educational field and help connect our students with the community.

The second group students chose is Art/Performing Arts: A group that will focus on students with a passion for art and a place where different art students can create masterpieces and connect with each other.

The third group students chose is Sports and Fitness: A group that is focused on the ultimate well-being of their and their fellow student’s health while finding fun in sports and activities.

The fourth group students chose is The Student Campus Activity Board: This group is constructed to help brainstorm and plan activities on campus to better student life. Events and activities are the building blocks to well rounded student life and establish connections to campus and other students.

Finally, The Science & Engineering Organization is for students in all aspects of technology, science, engineering and business. There will be an opportunity to assist with structuring this organization as it generates ideas and seeks to fill its open positions that will potentially provide interested students with the ability to compete in regional science and engineering competitions as well as provide technology that can be utilized by business and industry.

Interested students and faculty may contact Joel Messinger at joeltmessinger@smccme.edu for further information and the group assembly schedule.

We are holding a meeting on January 28th to further discuss what these groups will focus on and who the contact for each group will be. Students interested in participating in any of these groups should stop in before January 28th and speak with Cejai or Alex at the main desk in the L.L. Bean Learning Commons to confirm their interest and group designation. As the different groups gather together they will have the freedom to decide what they would like to do and how they would like to structure their group.
