The Student Government Association (SGA)will give rides to students around campus for Javelinas Give Back Week, which is this week.
Many students usually walk to class from their dorm or apartment which may take much time for students to get to class.
SGA wanted to give back to Texas A&M University- Kingsville and show them a great gesture of kindness.
“I think our version of philanthropy week, Javelina Give Back Week, is a great initiative because as Javelinas we are a family and stick together. The week allows us to show our appreciation to the community from staff, alumni, friends and even students who have given in some way to advance our mission,” SGA Chief of Staff Ruben Martinez said.
The Student Government Association is always ready to be involved in everything that deals with giving back to the university.
If any students have any concerns or questions, they can talk to the Student Body President and other SGA executives in the Student Union Building, Room 201. The SGA office is open Monday through Friday from 8a.m. to 5 p.m.
“SGA knew we wanted to do something for Give Back Week, and we wanted it to be something fun and different. Students dread the walk across campus from class to class, what better way to give back than to make their day a little easier by giving them a ride,” Former Student Body President Micayla Grossman said.
Javelinas Give Back Week is from Nov. 14 to 19 and it mainly focuses on everyone giving back to the university. Giving back can range from many different things, such as giving another student a ride to class or helping a professor carry their books.
It all comes down to helping others and making TAMUK a university that cares
“I think that Javelinas Give Back Week is a very important and it shows that we all care about each other in different types of ways. I really think that SGA giving rides to students is a perfect way of giving back to the students,” TAMUK freshman Keerstin Garza said.
