We generally hold weekly meetings, create fun events, fundraise for our class, participate in influencing campus policy through Student Senate and much more. We also do community service events that have benefited groups like the Springfield Foundation, Rainbow Tables, and Relay for Life. The group is led by the Class of 2009 elected officers, and there is an application process for all those interested in joining each fall. We select a very diverse group to try to represent our entire class. No activity memberships or experience is given priority over another. For more information about what we do, applying, and who our current members are, please contact us or visit our website. We plan to get very involved next year to build up for a strong senior year, so please join us and get involved!
