VI.D. THE PUBLICATION BOARD

The Student Government Association plays an active role in the program of student publications

on campus. The budgets of the several official publications are a part of the total Student

Government Association budget, and the business managers of the separate publications are

responsible directly to the treasurer of the Student Government Association. The College's policy

on student publications is one of guaranteeing freedom from prior censorship and delegation of

responsibility, under sponsorship, and within a code for responsible journalism, to student

editors. This sponsorship rests with a Publications Board composed of the officers of the Student

Government Association, the several editors and the business managers, and both Faculty and

Administrative officers.

Four publications are sponsored by the College and edited and managed by students:

Bagheera

,

the student newspaper;

Southern Accent

, the annual;

Southern Academic Review

, a journal of

scholarly and academic essays; and

Quad

, a literary magazine of student writing. All of these

publications fall under the aegis of the Publications Board.

Compass

, the journal of the Hess

Center for Leadership and Service, is also published annually.

VI.E. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

The College currently hosts a number of student-led organizations on campus. Several national

fraternities and sororities have local chapters on campus. The fraternities are organized under an

Interfraternity Council and the sororities under a Panhellenic Council. In addition, each

organization has a faculty or staff

advisor. A complete list of student organizations with their

leaders and advisors can be found here:

VI.F. MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS

The Office of Multicultural Affairs provides intentional learning experiences that educate and

support students in their own identity development. Through panel discussions, speakers,

trainings and special events, their office strives to make cultural awareness an integral part of the

student learning process, as it helps create citizens who can work, live, function and thoughtfully

participate in the global age. We work to affirm the diversity of the campus community in its

many forms by embracing a broad definition of culture to include world views formed by race,

ethnicity, gender, national origin, abilities, religion, and sexual orientation.

VI.G. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

The College supports a variety of extracurricular activities that are administered either by the

Office of Student Development, Student Government Association, or other campus

organizations.
