Dodi Stilkey, director of student involvement, helped describe the organization and purpose of the government. The president, vice president and eight senators work toward improving NIC by attending weekly and monthly meetings and participating on campus committees.  Each position is held for one academic year.

“It is a great opportunity to learn and practice leadership,” Stilkey said.

Government members participate in leadership seminars, budgeting, projecting development to list just a few of the tasks members are involved in.
