Letter from 1999-2000 ASEWU Executives
Your ASEWU student government is ready to soar and lead Eastern’s university community into the new millennium.
The ASEWU Council has established its goals for the 1999-2000 year.
v Our first goal is what we refer to as V.I.A. --Visibility, Interaction, and Accessibility. As a Council, we want students to know who we are and feel comfortable about approaching us about issues on campus. So if you don't come to us beware because we just might find YOU.
v The second goal is to work with the City of Cheney to make Cheney more student centered. We see the need for the city to incorporate more student related entertainment and programs in Cheney and improvements toward this end need to be made.
v Our third goal is to involve more student and faculty interaction in non-academic settings. Eastern provides numerous events for students to learn and to have fun. These range from guest speakers, plays, music concerts, athletic games, and activities provided by Eagle Entertainment, the Department of Student Life, and the residence hall system. These varied events and programs present an excellent opportunity for learning outside of the classroom, which is extremely valuable.
As a University, we need to support each other and together we can ascend above area and state universities.
