学生生活及事工中心

来自ASWWU现任和前任主席的一句话...

Community, that collective belonging we all crave, is something that God created us for. 澳门线上博彩官网在一起对他很重要. 学生们需要一个聚在一起的地方. 

如果你走进Atlas, 澳门线上博彩官网的书房, 你会发现学生主持会议或学习小组, 人们徘徊在柜台边聊天. The Atlas draws students because it has a warmth that reminds us of home. 但它很快就会被填满.

ASWWU活动是校园生活的重要组成部分, yet we struggle to find venues that are large enough because our current Student Association Center and the Atlas are 太 small to hold our events. 这一点在周五晚上尤为明显, 当学生, 尤其是那些住在宿舍里的学生, 晚祷后没地方可去. 在回应, 澳门线上博彩官网的精神团队创造了“安息日叹息”,” a gathering in Bowers Hall for friends to spend time together after vespers. 但这个空间并不理想，而且是暂时的.

One of the most fun parts of being ASWWU president is simply 工作ing side-by-side with my team in the office, 一个留给澳门线上博彩官网的小空间. But the space is 太 small, and physically separate from other student leaders. 

澳门线上博彩官网在世界女子大学感到一种强烈的凝聚力. Yet none of the current settings are sufficient to meet the need for a communal space on our campus. 解决方案, 学生生活和事工中心, would create a central place where 工作 and life could mix for all students. Today’s students are still recovering from the loneliness of the pandemic, and our underclassman are more enthusiastic than ever to be engaged on campus. The SLMC would harness this enthusiasm and help rebuild a thriving campus life. 

I’ve experienced the joy of collective belonging at 沃拉沃拉大学, and it’s up to us to ensure every student that steps on this campus can experience that, 太.

Campus life at 沃拉沃拉大学 is centered around a vibrant and active student body, made up of individuals who crave meaningful connection and conversations. As a student leader, I experienced firsthand the powerful impact of bringing people together. Friendships are formed, ideas are born, and the school is drawn closer together
when time and space is facilitated and protected for students to interact. The SLMC will make a tremendous impact on campus as it will provide a space—outside of classes, 工作, and residence halls—where students can gather and mingle in a convenient and organic way. It will centralize services that are currently distributed in varying areas of campus; this will benefit students by focusing student life activities on one vibrant heart. The focus on service and ministry provides the essential underlying why of our institution, 这个空间为这个目的提供了一个成长的空间.

在我担任ASWWU主席期间, a common request among students was to create more spaces for informal interactions, 既用于学习，也用于社交. The SLMC addresses this need well and promises to further facilitate a 沃拉沃拉大学 culture where strong friendships and connections not only complement but fuel a rich learning environment.
