The Student Government Association met on Tuesday Nov. 9 to debate bills and welcome guest speaker Lamario Moore to discuss the Intercultural Student Engagement Center with SGA senators.

Lamario Moore, assistant director at ISEC, came to discuss what the organization does for students and how the SGA body can do their fair share to help out.

“Improving the relationship between SGA and ISEC is pivotal. This can be as simple as just showing up,” Moore said. 

The major goal of ISEC is to provide assistance for students in marginalized communities. This includes providing tutoring services, financial aid and the celebration of cultural heritage months.

 “We are the one-stop shop for students in minority communities,” Moore said.

President Matthew Wininger expressed his interest in attending a rally for higher education in Frankfort next February.
