Has It Really Been a Month?

Time sure does fly when you are having fun. Or when you are in school. Those two are often associated.

Let's catch up with what's been going on.

• We recently selected our finals for the upcoming freshmen class! Exciting!
• We helped out with early enrollment and saw a huge group of students.
• We have been active with community service.
• We are having fun.

PLC has a lot coming up as well.

• We are holding elections for our officer positions.
• We are going to take a trip to Kansas City the 14th and 15th!!
• We are having a banquet for our senior April 23rd.
• A large group of PLC student is helping out with Relay for Life on April 27th-28th.
• We are having PLC/Honors Olympics April 29th from 5:30 to 8:00pm.

So PLC has a full plate ahead of us and we are excited to take it on.

I personally am very excited to be taking a trip to Kansas City. We are going to visit a World War II museum, have a night on the town, and go see a baseball game. I am more than excited. I'm elated. I am elevated with elation. E-words everywhere.

Three weeks of school left. I can't help but to reflect on this last year. I will wait though, we are not done yet.

For all you hillcats out there, put in some hard work these last three weeks and finish strong. For everyone else, have a wonderful day!

Getting to Know the New Guys/Gals

What a fun Friday PLC had!!

This last Friday, March 2nd, was PLC Day. What is PLC day?

PLC day is the day we welcome all of our PLC finalists for interviews. It is a very exciting/nerve-wracking day that is essential for PLC. It is our opportunity to show potential PLC members what we are about and what we do as PLC members.

It is a lot fun. We play games, like Evolution, and the Impulse game. We eat food, and relax. We have fun. We have fun, and again, we have fun.

It is also very taxing, specifically for the finalists. This upcoming year is very competitive. We had somewhere around 90 finalists, and only 10(ish) spots available. The finalists were all aware of this and the anxiety showed.

However, we had several very exciting candidates. We are going to have a hard time narrowing down our choices.

We are very excited for our upcoming members and also very excited for RSU's Got Talent. Don't forget to come! March 13th, 7 pm!!

PLC Blog Begins.

Hello Hillcats! My name is Zach Coker. This blog is devoted to a scholarship program that I have the privilege to be a part of here at Rogers State University called the President's Leadership Class(PLC). PLC is a wonderful program focused on developing leadership skills in its members. The program is headed by two of Claremore's best leaders; Stratton and Dr. Carolyn Taylor. As PLC members, we are involved on campus, and the community surrounding RSU. We have the opportunity of meeting frequently with President Rice and discussing what can be done to make RSU the best it can be. This blog will further help to highlight how we are doing so.

Now that I am done explaining PLC, I will talk a little about myself. I am a sophomore here at the lovely Rogers State University. I graduated from East Central High School (go cards) in 2009. In high school I played football, was the STUCO President two years in a row, sang in our Honors Choir, and participated in various other activities. I enjoy being involved and contributing as much as I can. Here at RSU, I am a member of PLC, the Mind Games team (http://www.ksbitv.com/mind-games), and SGA. You may see me around campus quite a bit. If so, don't be afraid to approach me. I'm easy going and enjoy meeting people.

So what are some things PLC is doing lately? I imagine every single reader is furiously curious. I also imagine myself the next Dr. Seuss.

PLC will be hosting a talent show soon! All types of talents are welcome! Tuesday, March 13, 2012, at 7 PM in the Will Rogers Auditorium, a talent show will take place of preposterous proportions! Actually it will probably be normal proportions, but it will be excellent! There will be a charge for admission. It is still being discussed. It will not be more than five hundred dollars, or less than a penny. I can promise that.

If anyone would like to try out, good! We can arrange that. It has been arranged. We have dates! February 27-28, from 5-8PM in the Centennial Center ballrooms B&C will be auditions. So far the discussions in class have learned towards no fee for auditioning. I do believe that will be the case, but I will post confirmation when I have it. Those are the ballrooms on the second floor up the curved stair case in the main rotunda. PLC would love to have a big turn out this year. This is in part a fundraiser for PLC, but also an great chance to prove how talented our student body is. It is also fun.

So this is how the blog will go. I will try to blog weekly. I assume they will be Wednesday right after the PLC class so all the information needed is fresh on my mind. I hope everyone finds this blog to be helpful and entertaining! I look forward to posting more.
