Student Groups
The Student Government Association of Beulah Heights University functions according to its Constitution and By-laws. Every spring semester the current SGA and the Office of Student Life and Enrollment Management facilitate nominations, campaigning and elections for those interested in becoming involved. Currently, there is an SGA President, Vice-President, Secretary/Treasurer, Junior Class representative, and Sophomore Class representative; all of whom were chosen by the students. In addition to responsibilities outlined in the by-laws, the SGA coordinates submitting welcome letters to new students every semester, the annual International Day [which consist of a chapel service followed by an international potluck and fellowship], the annual Spring Banquet for students, faculty and staff, the annual student picnic, and a holiday dinner for campus students and the surrounding community.
SGA has formed a partnership with Club Give, a BHU student powered outreach purposed to provide food and other resources to needy persons. [See attached documentation 17.10 b] The club was organized by students of the Community and International Economic Development Department. Donations are given to BHU and are then used to purchase food, clothing, and other necessities. Members of Club Give advertise when and where they will distribute items, and then they transport the items directly to the community and individuals who need the assistance.
Students who wish to get involved in campus life can connect with BHU Campus Ministries as a volunteer. BHU-CM plans student ran worship services like SNL [Saturday Night Live], and similar special events. BHU-CM also coordinates with the planning teams over other various BHU events to provide assistance. Volunteers may be requested to help with promoting, setting up, hosting, etc.
Club Give is a student initiated food drive that provides food and clothing to low income families in housing communities near the University. Students also currently serve as volunteer mentors to high school students and the local alternative high school.
Under the direction of the Dean of Chapel, you will assist the leadership team with the running of the Chapel Service. Your assistance may include but not limited to, Scripture reading, collecting the offering, taking CD orders, making duplicate CD’s and labels and greeting Chapel attendees as they enter.
