DePauw Student Government reflects on year

502

As the semester comes to an end, DePauw Student Government President Walker Chance and Executive Vice President Olivia Flores reflected on the year and what student government accomplished.
DSG was proud that they maintained old traditions such as DePauwpalooza and started new events such as Dine on the Square.
"We have done a lot of important things," Flores said. "There are obviously things that I wish I could go back and improve or more things that I want to do. A year is a good term, but you always want to keep going at the same time."
Chance has been involved with DSG since his freshman year at DePauw, Flores for three. The duo worked hard during their year's administration to make involvement in DSG more available for all students.
The biggest change DSG made internally this year was passing a new constitution. The chambers should now work more efficiently.
"It's gone from more legislative focused to more just getting things done and doing cool events and supporting student organizations," Chance said.
Although Chance and Flores see DSG from an overhead perspective, freshman members of DSG feel the same way about the improvements.
"I think there's been a lot of big improvements that have been made, and I think that we've done a good job changing the basic infrastructure of student government," said Claire Haffield, assistant director of public relations.
