STUDENT ACTIVITIES OFFICE Dr. David G. Speck Director of Student Activities Student activities, as is the case at many colleges and universities, is a catch-all ex- pression for almost everything involving stu- dents outside the classroom. A student activi- ties office, if one sentence descriptions make any sense, concerns itself with promoting those outside experiences as positive and learning in. nature. While student activities are usually not viewed as part of the curriculum, it i s obvious that the experiences students have in this area often mean the difference between a truly satisfying edcation, or just a satisfactory one. A key ingredient in the students’ level of satisfaction is what the student is willing to invest in insuring it will happen, and far too often it seems that the students would perfer to wait for someone to bring the activities to them. In our Student Activities Office, we strongly believe, however, that the programs and activities which are conducted should be, in large part, a function of how much the students are willing to do. To this end, we work hard, sometimes harder than if we did the activities ourselves, to provide the setting and the opportunity for students to develop, conduct and participate in their activities. Sometimes that facilitation involves major in- vestments — of money and staff — to help a program off the ground, but it always stresses the ability of students to determine and pro- duce their own activities. The result, when successful, is a product that is as enriching in its conclusions as the effort made to produce it. I hope that there are more experiences like that, and that our students leave truly satisfied. Dr, David G. Speck. Thea Frisby Assistant Director of Student Activities 29
