STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS All students are encouraged to become active in one or more campus organizations. In doing so, each student is able to associate with people who share common interests. Student organizations include the following: Baptist Collegiate Ministry The Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) is an interdenominational Christian fellowship sponsored by the state ministry of the General Baptist Convention. The BCM is open to all students who are seeking to develop their spiritual lives as they pursue their academic objectives. Located just north of the O.H. McMahan Library, the BCM provides a place where students can study, talk, have lunch, or play a game of ping-pong or foosball in a friendly environment. Some of the weekly activities include free lunches on Wednesdays; Bible studies; and occasional fellowships. Some other activities that students have opportunities to participate in are: weekend retreats, mission trips, sporting events, and conferences designed for college students and their needs. BCM officers consist of a president and two council members. They are chosen from students who attend a fall leadership training conference. Student Government Association (SGA) The purpose of SGA is to bring about a closer relationship between the students and faculty and to promote student activities. Activities sponsored by SGA in the past include cookouts, entertainment assemblies, dances, playdays, campus improvement projects, parade participation to advertise the campus at Sayre, dress-up days, and other activities thought to be beneficial to those on campus. The SGA consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, and representatives from each class. The offices of President, Vice President, and Secretary are filled by a vote of the student body in April. Class Representatives are elected by a vote of the student body each September. SGA officers must have completed 24 hours and maintain a 3.0 grade point average. Class representatives must also maintain a 3.0 grade point average.
