This conversation is the Presidential Roundtable<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month, the conversation centered on Reiter\u2019s own plans as a student and what each president is looking forward to in the coming semester. The two finished by giving each other words of wisdom.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis semester I\u2019m looking forward to a lot of the work SGA in the spring semester. We get to work with a lot of student organizations,\u201d Reiter said. \u201cUnfortunately, it\u2019s been a lot over Zoom, too. Just connecting with them and helping them utilize funds to help them do some really cool trips, bring speakers to campus and just interact with those groups.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Presidential Roundtable - Episode 2\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o4ABA9yQXXw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She explained that such organizations included Shooting Sports, which is hosting a competition in Hays in March, and the Catholic Disciples, who have plans to bring in nationally acclaimed speakers.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Answering Mason\u2019s question about whether these organizations have access to extra funds because of last year\u2019s lack of travel, Reiter explained that the students have been able to utilize rollover funds this year but future decisions will be left to the next Student Government administration.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reiter does not have plans to once again serve as Student Body President.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love my position so much, but I hope to move on and maybe look into studying abroad,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I could serve our campus as successfully from a few countries away.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After learning of Reiter\u2019s plans for international study, Mason stated that FHSU students have an extraordinary opportunity to travel for the price of the University\u2019s tuition.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As students, such as Reiter, look forward to studying abroad, Mason looks forward to the potential for in-person campus life resuming at FHSU.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited,\u201d Mason said. \u201cThis sounds like a weird thing to say, about the vaccine rollout because as vaccines come to our area, that means, sooner or later, we\u2019re going to be able to come back to face-to-face. And I\u2019m also excited about the fact that we\u2019re the only KBOR regent school that is having spring break shortly.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the roundtable progressed, Mason also asked Reiter if she had any advice.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reiter, in response, emphasized the importance of continuing open lines of communication while saying that the University has done well so far.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel the students have appreciated the communication that they receive from administrators or faculty and staff,\u201d she said.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mason agreed that flexibility would also be important, especially as students and faculty transition from online to in-person campus life.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also stated that, because of low COVID-19 numbers and the campus community following on-campus protocols, students are able to have their spring break and can look forward to an ease into in-person activities.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think as our student organizations work with our critical incident group to asking permission for holding events for the rest of the semester, they\u2019ll see us relaxing a little bit of the standards because we\u2019re in a good position,\u201d Mason said.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before concluding the roundtable, Reiter asked Mason if she had any advice for her and her fellow students.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cKeep your eye on the prize,\u201d Mason said.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says this includes active interactions with faculty and classmates as well as getting out more while remaining smart about safety. With this in mind, Mason believes students should take a few more risks, think proactively and be optimistic about summer and the fall semester.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, Mason explained the need to be kind and see the variety of ways to serve in the community.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a final reminder to stay safe, Mason reminded students to enjoy their college experience.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is what you make it,\u201d she said, \u201cand we\u2019re working hard to make it better for you. We appreciate every single student who has chosen Fort Hays. You matter to us. We value you, and we\u2019re excited about your journey.\u201d<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY CORIE LYNN Each month, FHSU President Dr. Tisa Mason and Student Body President Haley Reiter meet to hold a discussion about what is happening&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":58873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3397,3398,11],"tags":[11974,6060,69,106,12298,14131],"class_list":["post-58872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-area-news","category-campus-news","category-news","tag-corie-lynn","tag-dr-tisa-mason","tag-fhsu","tag-fort-hays-state-university","tag-haley-reiter","tag-presidential-roundtable"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PRes-Roundtable.jpg?fit=1127%2C584&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58872"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58875,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58872\/revisions\/58875"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/58873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
