All Things RSO is a program held once a semester that representatives of RSOs (Registered Student Organizations) are required to attend. The session provides information on everything RSOs need to know to run a successful RSO, from allocations to Hornet Central.

Dip into Diversity is another program held once a semester that representatives of RSOs (Registered Student Organizations) are required to attend. This session provides RSOs with the tools necessary to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization. Strive for progress, take responsibility for their own learning, growing and mistakes that will inevitably occur and to develop a sense of empathy as leaders.

The Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) was created by the Board of Regents in 1989 to provide funding for student financial aid and community/campus service programs during each academic year. The EOF committee receives proposals, conducts hearings, and prepares a budget for expenditures from the fund. The value of the grant varies based on the area of request. Contact ASG President at asgpres@emporia.edu for more information.

Dr. Hirsch was the former Vice President of Student Affairs and advisor to the Associated Student Government.

The Student Success Guide is a guide created by ASG to support our freshman and transfer students as they transition into college. The guide outlines ten ways to ensure success while at ESU. It also provides tips and resources to support students as they progress through their college journey. Professors can add the success guide in their course syllabus or on their Canvas courses. Email ASG Vice President at asgvp@emporia.edu for more information and/or copies of printed materials.

The #WeStingGreen Campaign was started by a group of Honors College students in the fall of 2021. Students wished to position ESU as a model university for environmental sustainability which launched the campaign. Currently, ASG is exploring eco-friendly practices to implement at ESU and working with various stakeholders to launch an ESU Recycling Program.

Stinger Showdown was launched in April 2023 by the Campus & Community Relations Committee with the goal to increase relationships between Students, Faculty and Staff within each School or College. This event is now held on the Monday of Homecoming week each fall. Different Schools/Colleges compete against each other in yard games to win the College Cup!

Winners of the College Cup:

• Spring 2023: The School of Business
• Fall 2023: The Honors College (Current Cup Holder)
