The Associated Students of the University of La Verne are looking to increase the student activities fee from $90 – a figure stagnant since 1982 – to $270, an increase to be phased in over the next two years.
Zesty dancers tapping and spinning to the soulful strums of a guitar, students tossed by a mechanical bull, a swinging piñata with a full belly of sweets, and Spanish-themed food filling tables were the sights and sounds of España Day on Oct. 11 in the University of La Verne’s Quad.
University of La Verne seniors are upset about scheduling changes made to this year’s commencement. Ruby Montaño-Cordova, associate dean of student affairs, made these changes without consulting or notifying the graduating class.
Applications for positions in the Associated Students of the University of La Verne, formerly known as Associated Student Federation, have began circulating from the Office of Student Life, as the University looks to create a dynamic group that will bring leadership, structure and changes to campus life.
In conjunction with a newly revamped constitution and bylaws, the Associated Students Federation Forum will now lead under a new name – ASULV – emphasizing an enhanced organization designed to better represent student interests through advocacy and to encourage two-way communication.
