Champlain College Student Government Association

SGA has just passed a Resolution approved by Sodexo allowing “students to leave IDX with smaller, hand-held items.” Previously, only food like cookies and fruit could be taken out, but now students are allowed to take out items such as a piece of pizza, a bagel or a sandwich. So, if you are in a pinch to have a meal before class or work, we hope this change makes your dining hall experience even more convenient!

Come to the costume contest tonight at the Halloween dance!

The following is a statement provided by 1st Year Representative candidate Kolby LaMarche. This advertisement is provided as a convenience and for informational purposes only; it does not constitute an endorsement or an approval by the Student Government Association of any of the opinions of the individual.

Fellow First-Year Students,

I am excited to announce my candidacy for the position of First-Year Representative. Although there are a multitude of reasons why I am asking for your vote, my goal is to serve by using my experience to help create with you a community for everyone.

Our class is entering Champlain with a unique set of obstacles, and we require an experienced advocate who is ready to represent our class's interests. More importantly, someone who can help build a community for everyone in a time where COVID-19 makes it difficult to foster campus-wide relationships.

It is critical that we create an environment where everyone feels safe and has the opportunity to succeed in their education.

For nearly a decade, I have been a committed advocate for social justice and equity. My work has not only led me to receive an award from the Paij Wadley-Baily Social Justice Leadership Institute, but it has taught me the power of working together and using our different skills and experiences toward a common goal.

I believe we are stronger when the values of empathy, diversity, and inclusion are used to guide us forward. Each of us holds a stake in this community. We need someone who has experience bringing everyone to the table and working hard to create and develop a strong group network built for all. I happen to believe that person is me.

I thank you for engaging in this process and considering me to be your representative.

Don't forget that tomorrow is our virtual debate and mixer for the Fall 2020-2021 candidates! Come meet your potential representatives and ask them your questions! Starting tomorrow at 6PM, EST.
