The Hudsonian Student Newspaper | The Hudsonian COURTESY OF ZION SHERIN

By: Zion Sherin

Student Senate President

I am Zion Sherin the student president and your voice.

This semester is filled with opportunity as new students come and others return. All with a goal of learning new and useful information, and getting a degree or credits needed for their future endeavors and hopefully have a great time doing it.

Now for a little hard-core truth.

During these first couple weeks try to get your grades as high as you can to reduce stress. The more work you put in the better you will do.

That being said, it is important to remember why you are here. One bad bump in the road should not throw you off. A bad grade will pass. What you are here for is so much more important. So, when you have some difficulty in a class, which we all do at some point, remember to take a deep breath and move on.

At Hudson Valley we have some great clubs. These clubs are a great way to make new friends and meet our peers while learning something in a more relaxed environment than a traditional classroom setting. This creates a network that is every important to academic success and future success in our professional life. If you are interested in what clubs we have, come up to the second floor of the campus center to the Student Life offices and we can help you find a club that fits your interests.

At Hudson Valley we also have a great student senate. We have one of the largest budgets for community colleges in the SUNY system. If you are interested in learning more send me an email or stop me when I am passing by to get more information, or join us for one of our weekly meetings in the leadership room located on the second floor of the campus center.

If you are not looking to get involved in a club there are still events of campus you can enjoy or bus trips or movie tickets. If you want to say in the know about what is happening at Hudson Valley follow our Instagram @ VikingsOfTheValley. We will be giving away prizes and 100’s of dollars’ worth in gift cards to students, so make sure to follow us. Feel free to contact me anytime my email is z-sherin@hvcc.edu

I hope to get the opportunity to meet you all!

Your Student Senate President,

Zion Sherin
