Officers in the Student Government Association announced the upcoming visit of guest speaker Amy Roloff during their Tuesday meeting.
The meeting started off with Tyler Forrest, vice president of SGA and a junior from Athens, Tenn., introducing Michelle Morales, manager of the Mocs card office.
"Manage MyID is a new program in which students will be able to manage a number of different resources from their Mocs card online," Morales said.
"The new features we have planned will allow you to check your history of how money is being spent, allows you to check the balances on your card, and allow for students to mark their card as lost," Morales said.
These features will be available after students sign up for the service through the UTC Mocs card Web site.
"Using this online service will allow students to look at the different money buckets that are on their cards," Morales said.
"These include the meal plan, book points, and the printing tender that is refreshed every semester," she said.
"Make sure that you take advantage of this, because you either use it or lose it," Morales said.
Forrest and Scott Stuart, president of the SGA and a senior from Maryville, Tenn., went to Samford University in Birmingham, Ala., to see how other schools were operating their student government associations.
"This visit gave us many ideas, and we should be able to shake things up here," Stuart said.
Afterwards Stuart said: "We plan on having an elections committee soon. People who are interested and cannot make regular meetings should fill out an application.
"We also plan on having students help with business ideas for the MLK community in an attempt to develop the area," Stuart said.
Forrest said, "During the event we also showed a video which highlights the achievements of UTC for the other schools."
In the promotional film shown, the achievements of different departments such as nursing, engineering, and business were shown. The video stressed the school's motto, "We shall achieve."
