Activism on Campus

Prologue

At Kutztown there are many services available for students and non students. However, many students do not know about these services. The Kutztown food pantry is one thing that everyone in town should know about. Everybody enters a time in their life where it is hard to provide for themselves financially. Before Nick ever went to the food pantry he would struggle and use up every last cent to buy food. He would budget and still end up not having enough, or he would realize he would need that money for personal care items. When he had heard about the food pantry he thought it sounded like something for him. When he went there, he was able to get food and other items for free. Nick started going to the food pantry weekly after that first visit and has been able to provide for himself and not worry about providing those things for himself anymore because of the help from the food pantry.

Many of these services, clubs and organizations are posted all over campus, but that doesn’t always mean students read them. If students paid attention to the posters they would find that some clubs are for enjoyment and making friends, other clubs are based around a major, then there are organizations that aim to help students. The organizations on campus that exist to help students are part of what makes Kutztown University’s community great. Activism on our campus makes the most impact on student life. Kutztown University needs organizations like the Student Government Board and the Food Pantry on campus to make student life better.

Each of these acts will emphasize an organization on campus that helps students daily on our campus. First, act one “SGB Influence at KU” will address the Student Government Board and how they represent student opinions and oversee various KU activities on campus. Second, “ “

Act 1: SGB Influence at KU

The first time I went to a Student Government Board meeting at Kutztown University, I assumed that it would be a group of students in a classroom talking. What they would discuss, I had no idea, but I was required to go to a meeting by my internship so I went to the Academic Forum one Tuesday night and opened the door to much more than I ever imagined. The room was full of students and every seat had a name card in front of it for various representatives. They opened with allowing the public to take the floor where a nice pastor and his wife talked about their church and gave everyone pizza. Then the committees began talking about various initiatives around campus that SGB was involved in. The next student government meeting I went to featured a woman who was trying to develop a better relationship between the college and the rest of the Kutztown community. Every meeting I have been to since always features interesting commentary from individuals that are not only from our campus but also our community.

This is part of what makes SGB easily one of the most influential forms of activism on campus. The SGB is a council of students who are elected as representatives of their major program (Business, Education, Liberal Arts, etc) who participate and provide input into the university’s decision-making process. Students who are elected to the SGB also participate and help organize university events like homecoming. Currently, there are 30 student representatives on the SGB. The maximum amount of representatives the SGB can have at any time is 33. The SGB meets weekly every term usually on Tuesdays evenings. In order to be nominated for the SGB, students have to meet a few requirements first. Students who wish to be elected to the SGB must be full-time students and have a GPA of 2.3 or higher. If elected, all SGB members must attend weekly meetings as well as college meetings, join a governance committee, a subcommittee, and attend the spring retreat. The Student Government Board website states the benefits of joining as, “the ability to have your voice heard, the ability to make a difference on campus, you can meet new people as well as multiple networking opportunities when you join the SGB.”

One of the College of Business SGB representatives Pietra Hernandez says that being a part of the SGB has helped her through her college experience by allowing her to meet and interact with students from all over campus. She loves participating in the events and committees and believes that the experiences she has gained from being a part of SGB will positively impact her in her future career. “Anyone who wants to make a difference at our school should consider joining the SGB,” Hernandez says, “Not only does it look great on a resume, you really do impact and engage with our campus in a way that only SGB representatives can.” The most visible way SGB members are involved on our campus is through the events they host. The biggest annual event SGB members are involved in is homecoming. Not only does SGB participate and help organize the spirit rally, but they also work with the Office of Student Involvement (OSI) to set up Spirit Stations where students can grab some free KU gear (while supplies last). Along with event responsibilities, the SGB oversees the administration of the student activity fee and they promote “Golden Bear of the Week” awards on Instagram to members who are actively involved in helping students on our campus. These are only a few examples of how the SGB influences Kutztown University for the better. The SGB is also a part of a campus-wide initiative called “ENGAGE @ KU” which aims to get students involved in activities on campus. For more information, visit the official Student Government Board website here or search for @kusgb on Instagram.

Act 2: Political Activism On Campus

Kutztown has a lot of diversity and a lot of different people Which means there is a lot of diversity of thought on the campus especially when it comes to political thought on campus. 2019 is a very divided time in terms of politics and there is no better example of this than college campuses in America. Kutztown is no different politics do play a role on campus. But Kutztown does give you a chance to voice opinion.

All the time there are people who come on campus to inform you about things going on in politics. For example not too long ago I was walking to class and I saw a group of people handing out flyers. But when I walked past them a lady with a megaphone ran up to me and handed me a flyer and behind followed a person dressed as baby Donald Trump. I took the flyer and proceeded to go about my day but when I looked at the flyer it was for the local election. What this showed me was that political activism is a thing on campus.

This is a good thing for incoming freshman with an interest in politics and getting involved. There are many different clubs for people of differing opinions. For example, there is a Democratic club and a Republican club on campus. This is good because having these different clubs does not single out any one opinion and it allows students to express themselves without being judged based on their beliefs. Kutztown is a great place for getting involved and just spreading the word about politics.

the Democrats club statement says its to advocate for and promote the principles of the democratic party of the united states and to help aid and promote Democratic candidates. An incoming freshman with democratic beliefs can join this club and try to promote democratic ideals. The Republican club’s statement is The Kutztown University College Republicans is a recognized campus affiliate of the Pennsylvania Federation of College Republicans, and of the College Republican National Committee. Our purpose is to make known and promote the principles of the Republican Party among members of the Kutztown University campus and community.

If political parties do not interest you there are different activist clubs like the feminist majority leadership alliance and the black student union who also contribute to political activism on campus. I talked to a friend who is in the black student union and I asked her a couple questions. I asked why she joined the BSU. “I joined the BSU because I wanted to get involved on campus”. Then I asked her what are somethings the BSU does, “The BSU just does events and holds educated conversations to promote equality and togetherness for students of color”. So if a person does not feel comfortable with choosing a political party just yet there are other ways for people to contribute to activism on campus.

ACT 3: KU Food Pantry for Anyone and Everyone

As a student myself, I learned about the food pantry from friends who had started here before me. I would see signs from time to time, however I never got full information about it. The first time I went to the food pantry was my second year of school. The first time I went to the food pantry I honestly did not have high expectations because how good can free food be? I quickly learned how wrong I was because the products they offered were actually good quality. I was able to pick up large boxes of cereal and even fresh produce. They even offer stuff like toothbrushes and tampons for those who struggle to provide toiletries for themselves or others. I thought it was really great that they offered feminine hygiene products, for free especially, because even in public bathrooms on campus they cost money. I now go to the food pantry pretty frequently because I am never disappointed with the products I end up getting. I also tell as many people as I can about it because it helped me so much as a student so I always think that it can help anyone.

Here at Kutztown, there are many groups and organizations the community doesn’t know about; especially students. Everybody struggles at some point in time financially and it can be hard to provide for themselves and others. Because of this, the Food Pantry, a satellite of Friend inc., is available to students and community residents. It is a free service for those who need food and other personal care items. The food pantry as a variety of foods; including fresh produce and baked goods, but it does more than that. The food pantry really does help not only students, but people who live off-campus in the community as well. The food pantry is also open to volunteers from time to time so if anybody wanted to help out make sure to check in every once in a while to see if there are any spots available.

I decided to interview a student here at Kutztown to see what they had to say about the food pantry. I had asked them just a simple question “Do you know what the food pantry is?” and with that they responded, “I have heard of it from a few people but honestly I never went because I feel like they wouldn't have anything good.”. After hearing this It made me think that so many people do not know what the food pantry about and that they offer great things.

The food pantry is a service for anyone and everyone. Some people think that this is just free cans of food for people who are poor. That is the complete opposite of what they provide. Everybody struggles at one point or another to provide food for themselves and that is ok. The food pantry offers a selection of different foods and personal care items. Overall the food pantry is here for a reason and it is something everyone should know about.

If anyone would like to look into the food pantry more or get in contact with anyone they can stop by or email at [email protected] .

» Charity Gym Day to Help One of Our Own

As we all know the gift of giving is the greatest gift of all. We recently found out that one of our Shanghai Gymnastics families has been going through tough times and we will be hosting a Charity Gym Day on January 22nd in the hopes that our amazing community can pull together and make a difference in the lives of these people.

Who are we helping? Matt and Kari Alligier have been friends since 11 years old and eventually married in 2010. They have 2 beautiful children, MJ and Harlyn. MJ was born with profound hearing loss at birth and has had surgery to get 2 cochlear implants, which have changed his life. Recently, baby Harlyn has also been diagnosed with profound hearing loss. In order to give her the best chance of hearing, she will also need to undergo surgery for 3 cochlear implants. Unfortunately, the surgery is extremely expensive. It is going to cost the family close to 20K USD with further costs for follow up treatments. This has caused much hardship and financial stress to the family.

A message from Kari: "Our lives have been blessed with two beautiful children, MJ and Harlyn. Though it has been quite a rough road, cochlear implants have completely changed our son's life. The fact that we can look at him and say "we love you" and for him to hear his favorite songs or read him a book, it's a miracle and the most indescribable feeling. We want our daughter to have this same advantage and be just as blessed as her brother. MJ is currently in pre-K and is reading and doing amazing in school! We know that with the help from these doctors, this will be Harlyn in 4 years too. It's a long road ahead, but nothing will stop us from getting there for our baby girl!"

The Charity Gym Day is for children of all ages and skill levels to come into the gym for a 1 hour session. All proceeds from this event will be going to the Alligier family to help pay for the medical bills for little Harlyn. We sincerely hope that we can all open up our hearts and give Harlyn a chance at a healthy life.

Date: Sunday, January 22nd

1 - 2PM (First session)

2:15 - 3:15PM (Second session)

3:30 - 4:30PM (Third session)

Cost: Each session is 150 RMB Location: Shanghai Gymnastics Jinqiao (2622 Jinqiao road, #59, building #1) 40 children per session maximum so please send RSVP to [email protected]

Reminders

» Carrying Copies of Passport and Visa

We have been informed by Public Security Bureau that policemen are being sent to different locations like supermarkets or streets to check people's passport and visa. We would like to remind our community that carrying a copy of your passport and visa in your wallet is recommended so you are fine if you are checked. Please note that the policemen will show you their working ID when they stop you. If they don't, please ask. If you forget to carry the two copies, they could take you back to their office. In this case, we suggest you contact your employer who can confirm your passport and visa information. They may also stop unaccompanied students so I would recommend that you review this procedure with them as well.

» New Residence Permits, Work Permits or Passports?

Whenever you or your family members receive new residence permits, work permits and/or passports, please be sure to send copies of your new documents to the Admissions office, in the Welcome Center (1st floor High School). Or, email soft copies to Admissions. Keeping your children's files up to date helps us keep in compliance with Chinese governmental regulations.

» Health Office Information

Concordia's Health Office has put together this useful list of emergency telephone numbers and addresses in both Chinese and English. Click here for the list or contact the Health Office for more information. Flu Shots For information on Flu shots, contact the Health Office. Contact Jenny or Yukki directly.

» No Bicycles for Children Under Age 12 on Public Streets - Shanghai International Schools Association (SISA)

The following information regarding bicycle riding in Shanghai is shared in an attempt to be helpful to all its member schools. For safety purposes, the regulations in Shanghai allow for bicycles to be ridden on public streets only by children age 12 and above. This regulation is strictly enforced in Puxi, but is unevenly applied in Pudong. The immediate danger is that families may assume that local protections for bicycle riders may be the same as in their own country, but they are not. It is important to be aware that if a child under 12 is involved in any kind of accident on a public street or crossing, the parent may be held responsible. Sidewalks and bicycle paths along public roads are considered part of the public roads. In addition, as accident insurance is relatively new to China and there are not many precedents with these situations, your own accident or medical insurance company has the right to refuse cover in the event of violation of the local law. We hope that better understanding will result in better safety for younger children.

The Community Bulletin conveys school and student-related information and supports community, volunteer and charitable organizations. The classified section and driver/ayi notices, are meant as a service to parents. With the exception of sharing information and offers from Concordia's official corporate partners, we do not support commercial ventures or for-profit organizations. The Community Bulletin editors reserve the right to omit submitted content deemed to fall outside the scope of the Community Bulletin.

» Parent Directory Privacy Policy

At Concordia, we are very protective of family information and data. The school emails only information that is important and directly related to the school and student issues. Internally, we carefully monitor what is emailed to parents and ensure it is appropriate. The use of email addresses from the parent directory for non-school related or commercial reasons is a severe misuse of the directory.

» Submitting Community Bulletin Items

The Community Bulletin is a bi-weekly newsletter. Please submit text in final format by Wednesday at noon in Arial font (maximum 100 words or 5 sentences in paragraph form with a headline) to [email protected]. Based on the schedule of the next bulletin, submissions may be included the week they are received or the following week. Any submission received after this time on the week scheduled for publication will be included in the next bulletin in two weeks. Submitted items may run for a maximum of two consecutive publications.
