Student Senate is also trying to include sporting events, honors lectures/educational workshops, events hosted by the Department of Housing and Residential life, events hosted by the Sustainability office and on-campus student services, under this program. Essentially, students are going to gain indirect monetary benefits for getting involved since the points are the only currency eligible for the auction.Įventually, more students are expected to attend events hosted by student organizations thereby improving the growth, participation and involvement rates for student club and organizations all over the campus. The expectation is students will attend as many events as possible to gain as many points as they can, in order to have advantage during the auction so they can bid higher amounts for the most valuable prizes. There will be an annual or end-of-the-semester auction where students can use their “Beaver points” to bid on attractive prizes ranging from TVs, game consoles and parking passes to gift cards, fishing gear and many more. Under this program, students will receive points for attending events throughout the campus (specific allocation of points are to be determined) via their Tech IDs or Student ID cards. The idea is to introduce an incentive program called the Beaver Points (name is subject to change). Therefore, details included in this article are subject to change.Īre you a student leader at BSU? Have you noticed lack of student participation at events hosted by clubs and organizations?įor the first time, Student Senate is exploring a real solution to this problem. The purpose of this article is only to inform students at Bemidji State University about the ongoing projects of the BSUSA Student Senate.
This program is still under research and development, and has not been approved by the University.
