SGA president welcomes in new school year

Welcome to Tiger Nation!

As I walk down the aisles of Wal-Mart I can’t help but get excited as I look at all of the school supplies; freshly sharpened pencils and notebooks and folders of assorted colors. There is something about the beginning of a new school year that makes my adrenaline pump! Just like the first page of a new, 3-subject, college-ruled notebook, the pages ahead are filled with endless possibilities just like the fresh start of a new school year.

Orientation was a huge success.

From friendly chatter in the cafeteria or just a kind handshake there is no doubt why Booneville is the “City of Hospitality.”

As SGA President, I encourage you to participate in on all the fun student activities planned for this year.

From pool parties to intramural sports there is something for everyone. Get plugged in and make your experience worth while.

The first week of school you will get to enjoy the good life of a Northeast student as you experience “Welcome Week” to the fullest. “NE Life is Good” is the theme it will be evident from the events that take place across campus. All week there will be activities to welcome students back to school; free ice cream, a cookout on the East Lawn of the Union, a back to school luau and water aerobics at the pool to help us stay in shape so we don’t get too caught up in the good life of a college student.

Throughout the year there will be various activities sponsored by SGA to put a little spark of fun in the average student’s social life.

You can find these activities posted up around campus, on your NE email, and in your Student Handbook & Planner that you received.

I hope that you have a great school year!

I look forward to seeing you on campus!

Your SGA President,

Ali Ballard
