2002 Miracle Yearbook

Fun Memories SGA Activities Homecoming,the New Student Talent Show,Rock the Vote,Art Week,Elliv, and Alpha Film Festival were a handful ofthe spectacular events ofthe 2001- 2002 school year planned by the Student Government Association that put a little twist on the "traditional" activities. SGA president Seth Martin said,"SGA seeks to serve the entire student body.We try not to focus on one particular set ofstudents but rather the various groups of students we have on this campus." In line with this goal, Homecoming,instead ofthe usual banquet in Alumni Hall, was a Hawaiian festival complete with leis, hula dancers, and many colorful outfits. Art Week and the Alpha Film Festival were also an added change to the list ofSGA- sponsored events for the year. Art Week included a performance of the drama Art and students' art on display in the lower level ofthe Steven's Student Center. Students got a chance to see student- produced videos during the Alpha Film Festival. Martin explained,"We wanted in everything we desired to challenge students to live out their faith as the relationship with Christ that God intended for us to have void ofrules, rituals, and indifference. Going hand in hand with that is challenging the student body to think." The servanthood ofthe SGA leaders made all these events happen. Vice President Lisa Pederson said,"We were here to serve the students in any way that we could. We tried to be an open door for them. We had an awesome group that sought to serve and sacrifice." 136 Activities A band performs "Ants are March- ing" live to an excited audience.
