Apathy

Apathy is one of the main issues facing student organizations today. It seems that very few people care about the issues that face the state, nation and university. This can be very frustrating when you really care about an issue and it seems like nobody wants to help out.

So what can we do? The first thing that we as leaders can do is learn how to fight apathy. I will be attending “The Apathy Myth,” a program being put on by SIEO on Sep. 29th at 7pm in the DUC Theater. The person giving the presentation is T.J. Sullivan who offers student leaders a workshop that focuses on practical ideas. He will show us how to evaluate our events, change our approach to meetings and how we can redirect the management of our people. We need to attack apathy, but first we as leaders need to know how.

Once again I encourage you to attend this event. It should be fun.
