The Associated Students of Fort Lewis College met Wednesday night to discuss promoting SkyHub, the first semester ambassador position and to approve nine Registered Student Organizations.

SkyHub

For the first time, Fort Lewis College will use SkyHub to organize RSO information. SkyHub is a platform that creates a centralized place for RSOs to submit paperwork, share events and better connect with the student body, ASFLC Sen. Rebecca Judy said.

Retention is something that RSOs struggle with and the use of SkyHub hopes to solve the problem, ASFLC Vice President Alyssa Yocky said.

“I think that if we can promote SkyHub as a place where all of our RSOs events are on there, it will build a sense of community because people will know when events are,” she said.

To acquire more users, ASLFC promoted SkyHub Thursday outside the Leadership Center.

ASFLC has set a goal to get over 600 users registered on SkyHub. As of Sept. 7 the platform had 443 users said Ryan Torres, director of ASFLC’s Financial Allocation Board.

First Semester Ambassador

Judy initiated forward a discussion topic to discuss the limitations of the first semester ambassador position.

The first semester ambassador is an introductory position on the table and can only be held for one semester, ASFLC President Chance Salway said. The position is open to students who have not completed their first semester at FLC, he said.

The position was created last year and has constitutional limitations, Judy said. First semester ambassadors cannot vote, bring discussion topics or action items to the agenda and only has one speaking term per a discussion topic, Judy said. According to the ASFLC bylaws, senators are allowed three speaking terms.

Voinica La Plante currently holds the position after being appointed by ASFLC on Sept. 5.

RSO Renewal

ASFLC also unanimously approved the renewal of nine RSOs Wednesday night.

The newly renewed RSOs are the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Rooted, the American Indian Science and Engineering Society, Beta Alpha Psi, Black Student Union, Village Aid Project, Wanbli Ota, Pueblo Alliance and the Society for Women Engineers.
