Fall is in full season on campus, and this just shows all of us why Virginia Tech is so special. There are a lot of exciting events happening on campus, be sure to take some time off from your busy schedules and get involved with all that Tech offers.
This past week, the Student Government Association has been surveying students on campus to hear about your issues and concerns.
This is important because the SGA represents all of the undergraduate students and we want you to be able to voice your opinions, which we can then advocate for you to the administration.
On Tuesday, Oct. 26, Ed Spencer, vice president for student affairs, held office hours in the SGA office to listen to students talk about their issues and concerns on campus. The next “VP is In” with Dr. Spencer is Nov. 10 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the SGA office. Please come by and talk with him about anything.
SGA is continuously working hard to make this year a great one for the students. Our committees on sustainability, transportation, marketing, diversity and inclusion, community initiatives, Hokies on Fire and student outreach are all planning and collaborating on events for the rest of the year.
We have four days left in October, so be sure to take advantage of the “30 Days of Blacksburg,” and get 10 percent off in downtown Blacksburg stores by showing your Hokie Passport.
As fall comes to an end, remember to support the Hokies by getting your Maroon Effect T-shirt at the University Bookstore or the Volume Two Bookstore for the Thursday night football game against Georgia Tech. These long sleeve T-shirts are only $10.
In addition, basketball season is almost here, so be sure to pick up our Hokies On Fire Maroon Monsoon T-shirt for $7. The Maroon Monsoon game will be played against Duke on Feb. 26 and is a huge game, as ESPN’ s College GameDay will be here in Blacksburg.
Remember, SGA is here to represent you. Please do not hesitate to e-mail us at sga@vt.edu with your ideas or concerns.
Stop by our office in 321 Squires, or friend us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/vtsga. To find out more about all of SGA’s events and programs, visit www.sga.vt.edu.
Enjoy the weather before it gets really cold and go Hokies!
Bo Hart, SGA President

Terrible title! I hope that Mr. Hart didn't come up with it.
When one advocates, it means to speak or write in favor of a particular (insert noun).
So... advocate for a better what?
