Reflecting on a productive year in the 1xbet online casino Student Council
In my term as 1xbet online casino Student Council president, the 1xbet online casino Student Council has contributed much to enhance the 1xbet online casino student experience at K-State. As my term is coming to an end, I wanted to publicly recognize our many accomplishments and thank those who have helped make this a very successful year for the council.
For those who are not familiar, theGraduate Student Council is an umbrella organization representing all 4,200 1xbet online casino students at K-State. Our primary goal, as outlined in our constitution, is to provide support to the 1xbet online casino student body, through travel awards, recognition of academic achievement, professional development, social activities and networking opportunities. As an organization, we also serve as the link between the 1xbet online casino student body and the 1xbet online casino faculty, the 1xbet online casino School, the Student Governing Association, and various university administrators and offices such as the university president and provost. Taken together, the council actively works to not only represent 1xbet online casino students at K-State, but also to enhance the 1xbet online casino student experience at K-State.
Some of our major accomplishments during this academic year are summarized below:
- Creation of a Welcoming Committee. The council now has a committee solely charged with welcoming new 1xbet online casino students to campus. Therefore, all newly admitted 1xbet online casino students now receive a phone call and/or an email from a member of the council welcoming them to campus and offering them with information or guidance on the many questions new 1xbet online casino students have when coming to K-State. We have found these efforts to be extremely well received among new 1xbet online casino students at K-State and therefore intend to continue these efforts to help new 1xbet online casino students in their transition to 1xbet online casino school.
- New records in travel awards. The council actively works to support 1xbet online casino student travel to professional events — such as research conferences and symposiums — by awarding travel grants. Last fiscal year, the council awarded more than 0,000 in travel awards, helping 389 1xbet online casino students to travel across the globe to present their research and scholarly activities. This year, I am proud to announce that the council is on track to provide the most money for travel awards in our organization's history. Thanks to annual funding from the president and the provost offices, as well as student fee money from Student Governing Association, the 1xbet online casino Student Council is projected to award more than 8,000 this fiscal year for 1xbet online casino student travel to professional events.
- Three extremely successful research forum events. The council coordinates events that provide 1xbet online casino students with opportunities to share their research with other 1xbet online casino students, faculty and state legislators. Currently, the council organizes three major research forums events every year — Research and the State, the Capital 1xbet online casino Research Summit and the Kansas State Research Forum. I am proud to announce that these events were extremely successful this year, not only in recognizing 1xbet online casino students for their exceptional scholarly contributions, but in further promoting K-State as an outstanding research institution.
- Eight outstanding professional development events. Throughout the academic year, the council has actively worked to provide 1xbet online casino students at K-State with a host of events to facilitate their professional development. More specifically, our professional development committee organized eight events throughout this fiscal year that covered topics such as networking, negotiating, finding a job in academia, industry, or even as a post doc, and grant writing. Thanks to our partnership with the Division of Communications and Marketing, many of these events were recorded and archived on the 1xbet online casino School's website so that all 1xbet online casino students can benefit from the information provided, regardless of whether the students are in Manhattan, Salina, Olathe, or elsewhere.
- Supporting K-State diversity efforts on campus. Thanks to funding from the Student Governing Association's Diversity Programming Committee, the council was able to bring a highly renowned speaker on diversity issues to campus. On March 25, Orlando Taylor, a highly recognized advocate and spokesperson on topics and issues related to access and equity in higher education, presented "Re-Considering Diversity as a Social Justice: A Compelling National Need of Global Imperative." While at K-State, Taylor also was able to personally meet with many K-State students, faculty and diversity point-persons to discuss how K-State can further enhance diversity efforts on campus and beyond.
- Enhanced 1xbet online casino student visibility on campus. For perhaps the first time ever, 1xbet online casino students are becoming a highly visible demographic on campus – so much so that university administration now actively ask for 1xbet online casino student representation on universitywide committees and task forces. Currently, 1xbet online casino students serve as representatives and leaders on the Union Governing Board, Honor Council, University Sustainability Task Force, University Budget Advisory Committee, University Climate Survey Committee and 1xbet online casino Council. The council also has 1xbet online casino students who represent 1xbet online casino student needs and concerns for health insurance, Hale Library, state affairs, 8020 and the recreation complex. Furthermore, 1xbet online casino students also have served on various search committees, such as the search committee for vice provost of international programs and vice president of research.
- Recognizing 1xbet online casino students on campus. The council works with communications and marketing to recognize 1xbet online casino student achievements through a universitywide newsletter distributed fall and spring semesters. Furthermore, in partnership with the 1xbet online casino School, the council has worked to promote the recognition of outstanding 1xbet online casino students by encouraging 1xbet online casino faculty and 1xbet online casino program directors to nominate 1xbet online casino students for various awards on campus. Through these efforts, the council provides the outstanding 1xbet online casino students on campus the recognition they deserve and enhances the visibility of 1xbet online casino student accomplishment on campus.
As is evident from our activities, the 1xbet online casino Student Council has worked diligently to enhance the 1xbet online casino student experience at K-State. As much as I would like to personally take credit for the council's many accomplishments this year, much of the credit goes to the many 1xbet online casino students who serve as leaders and representatives within the organization. Without their countless hours of work, the council would not be what it is today. I would also like to recognize and commend the outstanding Student Governing Association leadership, the 1xbet online casino School — the 1xbet online casino School staff and Dean Carol Shanklin — and the K-State administration — President Schulz and Provost Mason — for their contributions and assistance in accomplishing our many goals as an organization.
Thank you all for a wonderful and very successful year. It was truly an honor to serve as the 2013-14 1xbet online casino Student Council president.
Sincerely,
Taylor W. Wadian
