ASMSU's town hall type meetings was on the list of goals on the Fall Retreat. With all of these prospective goals, ASMSU has winded down their agenda to three main areas -one of which is external edvocacy. This is the main Goal of the Town Hall Meetings.
Students need to know that ASMSU is working for them. Therefore, why not give students a more direct line of governance. Rather than allowing students to come and interact throughout ASMSU meetings, ASMSU is bringing meetings to students. Direct governance and involvement is a key element is regaining students' awareness and interest in the goings-on of ASMSU.
Hats off to both Student Assembly and Academic Assembly for partaking in this endeavor. Town Hall Meetings in general are absolutely essential to the democratic experience, something which we, as Americans often take for granted. Whether it be for a specific purpose , or just general interest, town hall meetings can be very effective. That is the hope for MSU. We, as Spartans, SHOULD care enough about issues that pertain to us, that affect us, and that influence us. We should have enough interest in such issues that we would be prone to attending such Town Hall type meetings, as provided to us by ASMSU.
