The Push For Visibility

What an exciting time it is for us at Whittier College. Along with the many advantageous that come with a liberal arts education, the opportunities available to us are just as great. The ASWC Senate is aggressively working to continue to make those opportunities available. Unique partnerships with the LEAP Office, Residential Life, the Cultural Center and other offices on campus make these opportunities possible. Excellent programming comes from these relationships and with the many goals the Senate aggressively pursues, these relationships are very important.

Likewise, the relationship the ASWC Senate has with the student body is just as important. The ASWC Senate sees the need to be more visible and available to the students. For this reason the Speak to Your Senators campaign was developed for the purpose of improving those relationships and creating unity among fellow students. As we get each Senators schedule together, the ASWC Senate will be back in force, listening to the concerns of the student body. This proactive approach on behalf of the Senate is geared toward addressing the needs of students and improving visibility as a governing body.

Each office and department at Whittier College adds to the culture we have on campus and brings valuable, unique perspectives to the table. In the coming months, the Senate seeks to draw from the many gifted and talented resources that make up the Whittier College family. From this pool we plan to create the Senate Leadership Series. The knowledge, experience and wisdom from our students, faculty, staff, administrators and alumni is beyond compare and providing the opportunity to share these gifts with the College will educate, promote and inspire good things in the lives of our fellow Poets.

It is the Senate’s hope that the time and effort put forth by Senators go to support the student body as a whole and that actions and events planned by the ASWC Senate help to make Whittier College an improved home for a liberal arts education. As for the Senators, we will continue to enhance the student experience as best as possible and welcome any suggestions. We look forward to continued progress and thank you for your support.
