Student Government is an active body that works for university students through numerous initiatives and programs such as Swipe Out Hunger, where students can donate unused meal swipes, and portable chargers in the student section of the Williams Brice Stadium. Student Government even assists in providing a shuttle to the Columbia Airport during Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, and Spring Break.
Student Government partners with the University of South Carolina Parking and Transportation services to provide a shuttle from campus to the Columbia Metropolitan Airport. The shuttle will operate during fall break, Thanksgiving break and spring break. Reservations are required. Reservations will close the Friday before departure and return dates. The bus will only wait five minutes before departing.
Student Government and Athletics have partnered to bring portable chargers to the stadium's student section. The Charger GoGo machine allows students to scan a QR code, type in their phone number, and check out a charger to use during the game that has all of the phone cords for different devices. Chargers can then be returned to the machine in the student section, but if you forget, you can turn it in to the charging machine outside of Russell House. The charging machines are located adjacent to concessions underneath the Cockpit and across from the ATM outside of Russell House. Never walk home or leave a game with a dead cellphone again!
The purpose of Stigma Free USC is to raise awareness of mental health concerns and encourage students to take care of themselves.
The week's events will cover a variety of topics both serious and fun including cooking classes, a mindfulness walk, a campus resource scavenger hunt and more.
Student Government, in partnership with Aramark, launched a pilot program, Swipe Out Hunger, for the spring 2019 semester. This program was created for students dealing with food insecurity: the lack of reliable access to sufficient quantities of affordable, nutritious food.
