Meet Wayne Kim, next years SGA co-president, who is one of the most involved people on the hill. Read his interview with HCC to find out about his aspirations for Colby's future. 

What are you involved with on campus?

Mostly around organizations such SGA, COOT, and CCOR. However, I try to avoid being labelled as that "SGA" individual or "COOT" individual. I try to make a point that although I'm invested in the work I do, there's a human here as well.

How did you get so involved in student government?

I had a rough first year and a half here at Colby and I wanted to make a change for myself, people around me, and future generations of Colby members. If I didn't meet the inspirational and community-dedicated type of folks in SGA my sophomore year, then I would have left. And so I stayed.

What changes do you hope to make next year?

This upcoming week is stressful not only because there are midterms to be taken and papers to be written, but also because its time for room draw! As a first-year student, this is the first chance you have to choose where you want to live and who you want to live with, or for juniors its time to think about apartments, off campus houses, or suites. Emotions can run high as you are forced to make quick decisions and think on your feet in the Heights lounge, so here are a few tips on how to avoid the drama and end up with a great room!

Think things through ahead of time. I cannot stress this enough. Know who you want your roommate(s) to be before you get to room draw. If you are hoping for a triple or quad, be sure to plan ahead and know what the breakdown will be if only doubles or triples are left. This set plan will help avoid hurt feelings and potential rifts in friend groups.

Think about where you want to live and what some of your top choice rooms may be. Floor plans will be available online, so it’s easy to look there and get a good idea of what is available. Consider where your friends are living, location on campus, and accommodation or theme housing. Sometimes you will notice a hidden gem room on a floor plan that you did not know existed on campus.

When the whole process is over, everyone will have a room and a roommate, so don’t worry too, too much! Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. Good luck!

What does a girl have to do to get your attention?

Fireworks usually do the trick

What’s one girl trend you don’t understand?

The group text while in the same room.  What is so secretive and important that you talk about on there? And how is there always a group text going on? Is there a new one made depending on who is in the room? Can I be added to one?

Kickball.
