Habitat for Humanity – Student Organization Spotlight

April 11, 2011 by Abigail Jasinski

Habitat for Humanity (H4H) is a nonprofit, Christian housing ministry which seeks to eliminate poverty, housing, and homelessness worldwide.  Here in Springfield there is a great need for affordable housing. Some experts estimate it will take 4,000 homes to eliminate poverty in our area. We need your help. Please consider extending a hand to those in need by working with Missouri State University chapter of Habitat.

We are currently fundraising to build a home for a local, single mother in need, and we need your help! Anyone can donate and no donation is too small for our cause. We need to raise $50,000 before constructions can begin on this home.

To make a donation you may go to:

Or you may contact hendrix007@live.missouristate.edu to get more information on how to get involved. Meeting are every other Tuesday at The House By Taco Bell. We would love for you to come.

Student Activities Council (SAC) – Student Organization Spotlight

February 16, 2011 by Abigail Jasinski

Student Activities Council (SAC) is the student programming board on campus.  We are responsible for planning social, cultural, and diverse events ope to the entire student body.  Our activities our funded through the student involvement fee that every student pays, so most of our events are free.  We want to spend your money wisely, so we utilize an All Council, Executive Board and committees to make those decisions.

There are many levels to become involved and many leadership opportunities.  Not interested in planning events, but want a say in what is going on?  All-Council meets every Tuesday at 4pm in PSU 313.  Here, you get to vote on proposed events!  The 12-member Executive Board run All-Council and committee meetings and plan events.  If you’d like to gain experience working out event details and dealing with budgets, look out for applications in late March.

There’s three steps that you can take to get more involved with Student Activities Council:
1) Come to an All-Council meeting on Tuesdays at 4pm in PSU 313.
2) Attend SAC events.
3) Stop by our office in PSU 115.
4) Check out our website: http://organizations.missouristate.edu/sac/, our Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/SACMSU, or our twitter: http://twitter.com/sac_msu.

Also, be sure to check out all of our great events February 14-18 during I Heart SAC Week!

Christian Campus House – Student Organization Spotlight

February 10, 2011 by Abigail Jasinski

Since 1977, thousands of students have expanded their minds, developed their hearts and extended their horizons by being a part of Christian Campus House, which is a non-denominational community of students seeking to know and follow God.  Each Tuesday evening, CCH hosts a large-group gathering called ?8:01″ in the Plaster Student Union (from August until May–during summers it takes place at our facility), which features upbeat music, relevant teaching and lots of humor.

But CCH also offers small group Bible studies, intramural teams, social activities, and many services for international students. Many people believe and even say good things but seldom put them into action; to counter that human tendency, we offer opportunities each week to feed homeless people, spend time with elderly friends, and help international students learn English.  CCH offers opportunities to travel to inner-city St. Louis to work with kids in the ?hood; to continue helping the people of New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina (over spring break 2011), and to bless children and others in Nicaragua, Haiti, Kosova and Russia (this summer).

College is all about growing up, and as students are growing intellectually, socially and emotionally during their college years, CCH wants to provide the opportunity for students to grow up spiritually as well.  Come check CCH out!

University Ambassadors – Student Organization Spotlight

February 4, 2011 by Abigail Jasinski

University Ambassadors started out in 1973 as the Honey Bears, consisting of ten females serving as hostesses at various events and promoting SMSU. In 1986 the Honey Bears started accepting males and soon after it was renamed to the more well known name of University Ambassadors. University Ambassadors are a select group of students who dedicate their time to the benefit of Missouri State University.  As the official student public relations team of Missouri State, Ambassadors serve the University in a variety of ways. Not only do University Ambassadors give tours to prospective students, fostering school spirit, but they also participate in social and community events. UA’s are actively involved in Homecoming and Relay for Life, and they host Holiday Happenings every December, an activity designed for children. Every semester a day is reserved for showcase, when most prospective students come to campus and the University Ambassadors are the ones who make it all happen. Meetings are every other Thursday at 4:15, and recruitment occurs every Spring semester. Visit the University Ambassador’s website.
