Logistics for Harrisburg trip announced at TSG meeting

Temple Student Government Student Body President David Lopez announced the final schedule for Owls on the Hill Day in Harrisburg planned for today, March 19, at Monday’s General Assembly meeting.

The group of students is scheduled to depart Main Campus at 9 a.m. today, hear from Senior Vice President for Government, Community and Public Affairs Ken Lawrence upon arrival in Harrisburg, meet with legislatures for about two hours and return to Main Campus about 4 p.m.

Following the Owls on the Hill logistics, Director of Academic Affairs Patricia Boateng announced the creation of an academic affairs round table that will be held March 28, at 4 p.m. in Student Center Room 220.

The round table will focus on academic advising, transfer and non-traditional student experiences, the general education program and requirements for undergraduate majors.

The academic affairs round table idea stemmed from a meeting Lopez and his fellow officers had with Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs Hai-Lung Dai.

At next Monday’s meeting, the candidates for the 2013 TSG elections will not only kick off their campaigns, but will also be introduced to the General Assembly.
