Hello Cavs!

The semester is winding down. Where has the time gone?! It seems like we just started a week ago. But I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised after five years here. This semester has been a crazy one for me. I have recently been promoted at work to a full time position and still going to school full time, not to mention student government, friends, and fun! So I guess it’s understandable that time flies.

The Student Government has been working harder than ever. We have recently passed an allocation to support the Business Club’s trip and we are currently working on approving an allocation to support the International Club with their annual International Dinner. If you haven’t attended this event before I suggest you do. The students who help put this event on do a phenomenal job. The food is amazing and there is also plenty of entertainment throughout the night. Oh, and to top it all off, it’s only $5 for students. Believe me it is by far the best meal you will ever have for $5.

The Student Government is also working on quite a few projects currently. We are planning a Mother’s Appreciation Day event for February 18th which we are very excited for. This event was created to balance our Father’s Appreciation Day event and to honor all of the female figures in students lives that support them. Leading the Mother’s Appreciation Day Commission is Olivia Gruber, who is also our Chief Justice for student government. She is an extremely hard worker who will make this event a huge success.

Another project the Student Government is working on is building a website for ourselves. This has been a long overdue venture that has finally gathered some support and is currently in the design phase. I am very excited for this because it will allow for the WUSG to be more organized and allow for students to provide better feedback to the University. As you can tell the Student Government is always working hard to improve Walsh University every day.

I hope everyone’s semester is going well. Some good advice is to stay focused, there is light at the end of the tunnel. We all get bogged down right around this time in the semester. Luckily there is a nice break coming up just before finals. Try your hardest to stay focused, sleep well, eat good meals, and of course take some time to relax and decompress.

Have a great week!!

Fall has finally reached us and that means the beauty of summer has left. But fall is one of my favorite times of year. Although the temperatures are getting cooler, fall nights and the beauty of the fall colors make for a great time of year.

It is about that time in the semester where classes are in full force with tests, homework, papers, and projects. Being a senior and in upper level courses makes for some tough weeks. But the nice thing is all of the classes I am taking are interesting in their own ways. Certainly makes a long week better if you are enjoying the subject matter.

This weekend brings Fall Family weekend and Homecoming. This year I have been nominated for Homecoming King which is pretty exciting. The winner of King, Queen, Prince, and Princess will be announced during half time at the Walsh Football game this Saturday at Fawcett Stadium. It should be an exciting weekend!

The Student Government is gearing up to host our first annual Mother’s Appreciation Event later this fall. This event is designed to be in conjunction with our very successful Father’s Appreciation Event held in the spring. We are very excited to host this event and give thanks to all of our mothers and female role models. I encourage all students to invite their mothers or any female that has been an integral part of their lives. We owe our success to those who have helped us through our journeys and this event is a great place to give thanks.

I hope all of the students are enjoying their fall break and getting some much needed rest. This long break and short week is much needed! I wish everyone the best of luck with their classes!

As most know, college is a busy time of life when you are an active student on campus. Not only do most college students have full class schedules, but they also have meetings and programs for certain organizations, work, studying, oh and socializing if they don’t want to make themselves CRAZY. There is no doubt we as students can have busy schedules and unfortunately it never seems to slow down. But through all that craze and chaos we call college, hard work can really pay off.

In the spring time I was elected to be the President of the Walsh University Student Government. Prior to that I had been a member of the WUSG for two years in both a commission position and as the Senate Chair. The student government has become an important part of everyday life here at Walsh because if the impact we make on students lives. As the representatives for the student body, we have to voice the opinions, concerns, and praises of the students in a diverse and respectful manner. Naturally, as the President, lots of this responsibility falls on myself and the rest of the Executive Board. The Executive Board of the WUSG consists of myself, Vice President Chloe Zidian, Senate Chair Matthew Voytek, Vice Senate Chair Christian Zwick, Chief Justice Olivia Gruber, Executive Justice Kyle Garrison, Treasurer Allyson Baroni, and Senate Clerk Aleena Eigel. Without these individuals I could not do my job. I have never worked with a more amazing group of students. We as a team have set out to represent the Walsh student body in its highest regards.

The WUSG has a busy year planned with many opportunities for involvement and service. Even through our busy schedules and busy lives we have found a way to make real change and accomplish great things for the student body. My challenge to students, even though we all have busy schedules and lives, is to make a change and accomplish something great. We all have the ability to affect others lives and should do so in a positive manner. As a Catholic institution of distinction we should embrace our Catholic roots and focus on service to others.

This week begins the first official meeting of the Walsh University Student Government and all students and faculty are welcome! We hope to see you all there!

WELCOME BACK WALSHERS HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER?!?!?! I feel like a Cedar Point ride conductor lol. Anyways, I hope all is going well for your first week of school. It is always a hectic time trying to figure out your schedule, your classes, and not to mention time to hangout with your friends.

I suppose I should start with an introduction of myself. My name is Robert Pecl Jr., but everyone calls me Rob. I am a super-senior here at Walsh, Biochemistry major with two minors in Chemistry and Philosophy. I am originally from Lakewood, OH near Cleveland. My story with Walsh is somewhat unique because I came to Walsh as a freshman, stayed through fall semester of my sophomore year. After that time I transferred to Muskingum University where I spent one whole semester playing baseball. After my short hiatus I came to the realization that the WU was the place for me and planned my return for the fall. I learned a lot in my time away including how great of a university Walsh really is. My hope is that all of the students here come to realize what a great place they chose to receive their education from.

The first week of school is always killer and I know not too many professors give homework, but I have already had homework, a quiz, and an hour test. Believe me it’s been rough. One thing about me is that I love to tutor students in science. So if anyone needs help I am always willing to help.

Until next time, ENJOY YOUR LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!
