ASUSU offers help booth to students

Being informed about activities going on around Utah State University’s campus is becoming a little bit easier starting Monday.

The Associated Student of USU Executive Committee approved operation hours Tuesday for a new student information booth located east of the copy center in the Taggart Student Center.

“We’re really excited about this, it’s going to be a great asset for the students,” said Quinn Millet, ASUSU president. “It’s a great face and community tool for USU.”

The booth, called “ASUSU Week at a Glance,” will feature a 15 foot by 4 foot white board on the wall behind the booth, highlighting all the activities going on during the week for students to participate in.

Members of ASUSU, along with members of their individual committees will take turns sitting at the booth from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Fridays to answer questions.

“All of us have ambitious people that are ready to get out and do some good work,” said Nathan Putnam, ASUSU executive vice president

Aside from answering questions, there will also be surveys and other activities for students to participate in.

The booth was funded by ASUSU, Vice President of Student Services, Juan Franco and Associate Vice President for Student Services, Gary Chambers.

As part of the ASUSU Executive Committee meeting, Millet also announced that Jason Pickup, ASUSU vice president of graduate studies, resigned Friday.

Pickup received acceptance into University of Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine and began classes Tuesday.

Millet will begin interviewing prospective candidates to replace Pickup who the committee will vote on as soon as possible.
