Happy Monday, Vikings! Days are getting shorter and the air is getting cooler. Hard to believe we're almost to Halloween. There's plenty to do this week, below is just a sample. Also, make sure to check out the news section, SGA has some great initiatives and you can nominate a student organization to be featured in the newsletter!

From October 19- 23, 2020 join the Center for International Services and Programs for the National Student Exchange Virtual Fair. This event will provide an opportunity to explore the array of options/campuses available through National Student Exchange.

Each presentation will last approximately one hour. Each campus will present for 2-3 minutes to highlight their campus. Then, for the remainder of the hour, each coordinator will go to a break-out room so you can go visit the different campuses. This provides you with a unique opportunity to ask the host campus coordinators questions before you apply. Find the perfect NSE location for you!

National Student Exchange (NSE) provides accessible collegiate study away to undergraduate students at member colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

As part of their #VikeTheVote initiative this year, the Student Government Association is hosting a live event on October 30th, aimed at highlighting civic engagement. For the month of October, students are invited to use SGA's Vike the Vote IG story filter to make a plan to vote in the upcoming election. Students who create a plan and share it on their stories will be entered to win a number of grand prizes, including air pods, CSU spirit gear and more. The winners will be announced during their Vike The Vote--LIVE event.

Their livestream will include messages from speakers like Justice Michael Donnelly of the Ohio Supreme Court and a few celebrity guests. As part of the event, SGA would like to highlight a few organizations on campus that have worked to register and educate student voters. They invite you to submit a video for their highlight reel, talking about your organization’s civic engagement efforts on campus to celebrate the work you’re doing for students.

Please limit your submissions to 30-45 seconds, and submit them to SGA at SGASecretary@csuohio.edu by midnight on Friday, October 23rd.
