Thoughts from the Corner Office

Issue date: 4/8/09 Section: Viewpoint
Being that this is my second to last column as SGA President I intend to recognize some of the accomplishments of this 2008-2009 academic year and save for the last column a heaping helping of advice and ever-astute words from yours truly. Though, a forewarning, I would do no such thing as to claim that those words might possess inert worth, but I will certainly do what I can. I suppose as the year runs to an end sentimentality has begun to seep in, masked by preemptive nostalgia for these last few months at Assumption. Realizing and acknowledging finally that yes, I really will be leaving Assumption in forty-some odd days; the nostalgia is fueled by what I consider to be an exemplary year for the student body. I feel a bit like (forgive the banality) a proud parent watching their child (Assumption College) move on to the bigger and better things that the world may offer, sitting, left behind, proud and aware of the impending future successes. Achieve, you all will, for your 'proud parent' has no doubts based on the efforts of this year.
I would first like to congratulate the staff of the Provocatuer on a year well done. The quality of journalistic integrity is wholly apparent in articles from front to back covering and tackling various campus issues with impressive objectivity. Joe Mascia, Editor in Chief, along with the other Provoc editors clearly produced excellence in each biweekly edition. The ability to convey humor (evident in the Prohoaxatuer and Mike Andrews' column) did not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated as well.
AC Allies has done an impressive job bouncing back from some rough waters provoked by last year's storm. Despite past ambiguities, the group has proven again and again that they can and will make a difference on this campus by facilitating some impressive events. I am confident that a base has been built for this emerging group and I look forward to their future successes.
Continuing to promote conversation regarding racial issues ALANA has encountered success in promoting their mission. The Spare Change retreat commenced a new form of racial healing and dialogue with the potential to impress change on Assumption's students.
