I transferred to Roosevelt my sophomore year of college. It was a tremendous change from the first institution I attended because of how compact everything was on Roosevelt’s vertical campus. I went from having to walk 10 mins across campus to get to my next class to just having to hop on the elevator to go to a new floor!
I knew that I wanted to get involved in student activities outside of class and I was pleased that Roosevelt’s Center for Student Involvement held an amazing Student Involvement Fair. I was able to see all the organizations on campus including the College of Arts and Sciences Student Advisory Council (CASSAC). I was a little hesitant to join, but my friend Phylicia did. Whenever she would talk about it, she sounded excited to attend the meetings and interact with the other members so I decided to go to a meeting.
To my surprise the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences was there and she really wanted to hear about our experiences as students and what we thought could use change on campus. Seeing these interactions is what really drew me to CASSAC because it showed that our voices mattered. We also planned events like the Haunted Tour of the Auditorium Building, Karaoke Night and Graduate School A to Z which were fun. I’m glad I joined this organization and was able to interact with other majors in the College of Arts and Science.
CASSAC is looking for new student members for the 2021-22 school year, and I hope that you will apply!
