What is SGA and Why Should I Care?

SGA stands for Student Government Association. Our constitution states that our purpose is to represent the general welfare of the students of Penn State DuBois.

How do we represent the students of PSU DuBois?

The SGA consists of a President, Vice President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, Club Coordinator, 7 Upperclassman Senators, and 11 First Year Senators. These students meet regularly and discuss current campus events, ways to better the campus, problems that arise and much more.

Why is it important that I know who my SGA members are?

It is important to know your SGA representatives so if you ever have any questions or concerns you know you can take it to one of your fellow classmates. SGA members are always willing to listen and will do whatever they see possible to clear up problems and report back to the students. SGA members discuss all comments made to them and take it to whomever is most knowledgeable about the subject.

Daryl Davis

"Klan-Destine Relationships"

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

7pm Hiller Auditorium 

He is not white. He's not even light-skinned. Make no mistake about it; he is black. Yet, Klan-Destine Relationships author Daryl Davis has come in closer contact with members of the Ku Klux Klan than most white non-members and certainly most blacks -- short of being on the wrong end of a rope. What's more? He continues to do so, making him one of the most unique lecturers on the college speaking circuit today.

 

Over the last ten years, Daryl Davis walked on the edge with one foot dangling over the precipice. His stories of setting up surprise meetings with Klan leaders unaware of his skin color and attending KKK rallies, has the suspense of Hitchcock, keeping audiences riveted to their seats in disbelief.

On a quest to do nothing more than explore racism and gather information for his book, Klan-Destine Relationships, Daryl Davis eventually became the recipient of robes and hoods by Klan members who came to him to rescind their beliefs. Davis had inadvertently stumbled upon a successful method of forming friendships between sworn enemies. His methods have made him the center of controversy. In some white circles he has been deemed "politically incorrect" and in some black circles he has been called "Uncle Tom." Daryl Davis often makes supporters out of his detractors by proving his methods work and issuing this challenge: "I have Klan robes and hoods hanging in my closet, given to me voluntarily by members who have quit the Klan since coming to know me. That's what I've done to improve race relations. How many robes and hoods have you received as a result of your methods?"

Daryl Davis earned his Bachelor of Music Degree from Howard University. An accomplished blues and R&B musician, he performs regularly with his own Daryl Davis Band. He has toured extensively with Muddy Water's Legendary Blues Band and Chuck Berry, among others.

As a race relations expert, Daryl Davis has received acclaim for his book, Klan-Destine Relationships and his work in race relations from many respected sources including: CNN, CNBC, Good Morning America, The Learning Channel, National Public Radio, The Washington Post, The Washington Times, The Baltimore Sun, The American Ethical Union and The Washington Ethical Society.
