Four members of the Student Government Association attended the Illinois Student Activities Association Leadership Conference hosted by Illinois Central College in Peoria Oct. 16 – 17.
Attending were President Jeff Twardowski, Treasurer Judy McQuilkin, Student Trustee Chris Smith and programming board member Holli Rapp. They were accompanied by advisor Cory Tomasson.
Twardowski said, "It was nice to get to interact with other leaders in my position."
Fantasy Fotos, an event similar to the Funny Fotos which was on the IVCC campus, was one of the activities scheduled for the 250 student leaders. SGA members said Fantasy Fotos was popular and did not generate any complaints of sexism.
Funny Fotos, an SGA sponsored event, was popular at IVCC but led to a number of complaints about the portrayal of women.
"I found it (Fantasy Fotos) ironic," Twardowski said.
In other activities, on Oct. 26 the SGA hosted comedian Scott Fulkenbridge, and on Nov. 19 members will be helping with Family Reading Night.
The next SGA meeting is Nov. 2 at 7 a.m. in the SGA office, C-103. A photo of SGA members will be taken at that meeting; the photo will be available on the IVCC web page later in November. The next legislative branch meeting is Nov. 3 at 3 p.m.
