The Online Student Government Association (OSGA) met on Monday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During executive reports, President Heather Flick said a discount code for online students is now available for the Victor E Apparel and Gift Co. Online students can email osga@fhsu.edu<\/a> for the code, which provides about a 20% discount. Flick said she would work with Public Relations Officer Eileen Moore to distribute that code publicly to online students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore gave an update on the Tiger Talk series that OSGA has implemented this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been holding Tiger Talks, which is an online virtual forum that is trying to address what has been historically expressed as a lot of disconnection and isolation by the online community,\u201d Moore said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last Tiger Talk on AI,<\/a> 40 people signed up to attend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith each successive Tiger Talk, I think we\u2019re gaining more traction,\u201d Moore said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate Affairs Committee has been working with the data collected from the online student survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned in previous meetings, the questions are all Likert scale questions to provide more quantitative data. The questions were based on issues that online students have historically encountered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe keep seeing the same issues, year over year,\u201d Moore said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these questions include topics like outdated learning content and slow grading. At the request of the Faculty Senate, questions were also included regarding advising and Workday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore reached out to the data analysis lab on campus to further analyze the data and break up the responses by college and department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur next effort, once we get that deeper analysis, would be to identify the strengths and weaknesses and then maybe help facilitate departments sharing information,\u201d Moore said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resolutions will be drafted addressing the issues outlined in the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once resolutions are passed out of the committee, the whole OSGA body will vote, and then, if approved, they will be sent on to the Faculty Senate Student Affairs Committee and then on to campus administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTime is of the essence,\u201d Moore said. \u201cFaculty Senate is winding down. The school year is winding down.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flick said this process can be slow, but it will eventually result in benefits for the online community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s lots of great things happening in our direction,\u201d Flick said. \u201c Just have to be patient, because, as most of us know, large bodies, large organizations, institutions do not move very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next OSGA meeting will be at 6:00 p.m. on Zoom on March 17. OSGA meetings are open, so for those interested in attending, reach out to osga@fhsu.edu<\/a> for the Zoom link. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
