Another event in the works is a series called "Around the World" that will showcase different countries from which ASU has international students. Starting in September, the SGA plans to hold special events, such as authentic meals and speakers, to celebrate a different country each month. Beaird hopes the events will be informative for the whole student body but especially welcoming to international students.
In addition, the SGA is working to promote ASU's new Red Wolves mascot as much as possible. For this year's Centennial Celebration, they plan to purchase a Red Wolves monument similar to "Clyde," which was purchased at ASU's 50th anniversary and is on display in the Student Union.
They are also working on an initiative to honor a "Red Wolves family" during one of this season's home football games. The "Red Wolves family" will be a family committed to ASU and who diligently helps their children achieve success while in college.
Furthermore, Beaird and Poole are doing everything in their power to turn one dreamt-about event into reality: a Red Wolves vs. Razorback football game. The new president and vice president have been in contact with state legislators and the University of Arkansas SGA and are passionate about seeing this game, one day, take place. They admit that if achieved, it could take several years to happen, but Beaird and Poole at least hope to get the ball rolling in that direction.
Even if Beaird and Poole are able to carry out all of their plans and ideas, they don't want their accomplishments to end at the close of the school year. They said that their hope is to set a precedent for future SGA administrations, to raise the bar high, and to increase productivity for every SGA staff to come.
