Wheelchair ramp to be added to Bear Paw

December 4, 2012 by Riana Sears

The Student Government Association has approved a resolution that will provide for a wheelchair ramp to be added to the “Bear Paw” of Missouri State’s “North Mall” in front of the Plaster Student Union.

The addition of the wheelchair ramp exemplifies both SGA’s and Missouri State’s commitment to an inclusive and accommodating environment. This project also places the Bear Paw in adherence with disability guidelines.

The Student Government Association is grateful to the Office of Student Affairs, as Dr. Earle Doman, dean of student affairs, has offered to fund this project in support of a movement towards a continuously diverse campus community.

For more information, please contact Riana Sears, Chief Communications Officer at Riana21@live.missouristate.edu.

SGA Places Health Fee Increase on Spring Ballot

February 10, 2012 by Paige Oxendine

Missouri State’s Student Government Association recently approved a resolution which will place a referendum on the spring ballot asking students whether or not they support increasing the Taylor Health Center Fee by $2.

Despite health care services costs increasing at an average rate of 10% per year, the Taylor Health Center Fee has not increased for the last four years.

If passed by students, the Taylor Health Center Fee would increase from $56.50 per semester to $58.50 per semester. The increase would be split with $1 going toward maintaining current Taylor Health and Wellness services, and the other $1 would be used to offer free flu shots to approximately 5,000 students.

The referendum will be placed on the spring ballot, which will be available to students for online voting April 9th through April 11th.

For more information, please contact Paige Oxendine, Chief Communications Officer, at Oxendine100@live.missouristate.edu.

The Return of the Ozarko

December 19, 2009 by

At the last Senate meeting of the Fall 2009 semester, the Student Government Association voted to support the republication of the Ozarko.  The Ozarko was the University yearbook that was in publication from 1909 until 1992.  After 1992, publication ceased.  By reinstating a yearbook, history will be recorded, school pride will be boosted, and memories will be treasured for years to come. 

The Student Affairs Committee is currently overseeing this project, and the Office of Web and New Media has agreed to help with the logistics of the project.  The yearbook will be in an online format, and campus members can submit feature stories and pictures online that will be compiled and formatted by an editorial board.  The goal is to have an issue out by the end of next semester, which would mark 101 years since its first publication.

If you have ideas on what should be included in the new Ozarko, please take the public opinion poll or contact Jon Stubblefield at stubblefield129@live.missouristate.edu.
