The
Political Awareness Committee (PAC) of the St. Olaf Student
Government Association is the primary student promoter
of political awareness and activity on the St. Olaf campus.
Committed to nonpartisan political education and activism,
the Political Awareness Committee seeks to serve all members
of the St. Olaf student body as a political resource,
ultimately making students into responsible and knowledgeable
citizens.
To attain this goal, PAC will work to
promote social, cultural, and political awareness; break
down stereotypes; create safe spaces for dialogue; mobilize
the student population; and challenge the St. Olaf community
to consider its political nature. The Political Awareness
Committee will accomplish these goals through three methods
education, coordination, and action. |
|
To
educate the St. Olaf community, PAC will bring a diverse range
of people to campus and inspire political dialogue, maintain
a high level of political contacts and resources for St. Olaf
Students, and create public spaces where civic dialogue is
encouraged.
To
coordinate the St. Olaf community, PAC will open and strengthen
lines of communication between political organizations on
campus, promote various political events and dialogue, and
act as a medium of political communication for St. Olaf students,
faculty, and staff.
To
act with the St. Olaf community, PAC will mobilize students
to participate actively in the political process by communicating
with representatives; researching and understanding political
issues; attending public forums and meetings; and supporting
direct, nonviolent political action and civil disobedience.
Ultimately,
the Political Awareness Committee wants to enlighten students
about the American political process and inspire them to actively
engage their rights and responsibilities as citizens of the
United States and the world. |
