There are many ways to get involved with MCSG, even if you are not a representative!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

– Run for a Class Representative, Liaison, or Executive Board Position<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The elections for class representative positions take place each April following the Executive Board elections, while the four First-Year Representatives are elected in early September. The Executive Board elections take place in March after Spring Break. Look for an email from MCSG announcing elections during these times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Attend Weekly MCSG Meetings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to be a member of MCSG to attend meetings. Weekly meetings of the Legislative Body occur on Thursdays from 12-1, typically in the Harmon Room. Check the MacDaily for more details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have time to attend Thursday meetings but would like more information on MCSG’s weekly activities, check out previous weekly meeting agendas<\/a> and weekly meeting minutes<\/a> for a better glimpse of what MCSG is currently working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Contact an MCSG Member to Share Your Comments and Concerns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re a member of a student organization, have a concern or an idea, or just want to chat, all of MCSG serves as a resource for you. A good place to start is by contacting via email one of your Class Representatives<\/a> or a member of the Executive Board<\/a>. Email MCSG<\/a> or stop by the office on the second floor of the Campus Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Campus Committees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Interested in getting involved but not interested in running for office? Campus committees are a great way to get involved with student academic affairs, financial concerns, managing student organizations, and much, much more! More information can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Think About Working for MCSG<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A few work-study positions allow non-Legislative Body members to connect to their student government. Check this site or the Macalester Employment Services jobs board<\/a> in the spring or fall to learn more or apply for an open position.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
