Welcome Saints!
Whether you are a returning student or just beginning your journey, this book will provide you with some hints and resources to keep you on track throughout the year. Be sure you take advantage of the helpful information related to university events and campus organizations. For all students, new and returning, I know you have heard how important it is to get involved on campus – I couldn’t agree more! Use every opportunity to become a more involved member of our university community. Don’t waste a minute of your time at Marymount! University is about furthering your knowledge and expanding your understanding of the world, and that goes beyond the classroom. For our first-year students, ask any senior and they will tell you how quickly your time at university seems to fly by. It will seem like just yesterday you were buying your books for your first classes and then before you know it, you are taking your last few finals, presenting your thesis or portfolio, and walking across the stage at Commencement. On campus, we have amazing events from Homecoming, to Midnight Madness, Saintsfest, and the Student Research Conference. You are in one of the most exciting and eventful areas in the world, so take advantage of it. We will have theatre and sporting events that you should absolutely attend. Don’t forget to look outside the campus and visit the amazing attractions in DC, like the Smithsonian museum and the annual Cherry Blossom festival. There are endless things to do, so please don’t waste a moment of your time; embrace this rare opportunity. I have the honor of serving you this year as President of the Marymount University Student Government Association (MUSGA). If you ever have any problems or concerns do not hesitate to contact me or any other member of your Student Government Association. We are here to advocate for you and to strengthen your voice on campus, so please let us help. Elections for first-year senators will take place in September, and appointments for upperclassmen senate positions are still available. Even if you don’t want to join MUSGA, know that you can still be involved by voting in MUSGA elections, coming to meetings, and expressing your voice. For more information, visit us at www.marymount.edu/sga. On the subject of elections and expressing your voice, there is an important election coming up and we will be welcoming a new neighbor just a few miles away. Be sure to take part in the democratic process by voting, campaigning, or just educating yourself on the issues affecting our world. We have a chance to make our voices heard, let’s not waste it! In closing, I would encourage everyone – whether you are a resident or commuter student, traditional or nontraditional student – to get involved with your community this year with student organizations, programs, and events. This is your community and you play a vital role in making our campus truly special. The Marymount University Student Government Association is your voice; we are here to speak for you, so put us to work. Best of luck with the school year! Sincerely,
Brandan McCammitt, Class of 2017 President, Marymount University Student Government Association 2016-2017 TABLE of
