Applications for Winter Term Lane Student Government Association (SGA) positions are now open! If you care about student life, equity, campus resources, or making sure student voices influence decisions at Lane—this is your chance to lead.

SGA members help decide how the Student Activity Fee is used, advocate for student needs (like class availability, recreation, food access, and tuition concerns), and work directly with college leadership to improve the student experience.

Students elected this cycle will serve in the Spring, optional Summer, Fall, and Winter of next year, making this a great opportunity to guide meaningful, year-long change.

No prior experience needed—just a commitment to representing your fellow students.

Interested? Here’s how to get started:

• Attend an SGA public meeting (Tuesdays, 4:00 - 6:00 PM, Center 202)

• Learn about the issues students are facing

• Submit your application and step into leadership!

If you’ve ever wondered how decisions get made or wished you could make things better for students—this is your moment. Your voice belongs at the table. Run for SGA and help shape the future of Lane.

Lane Community College invites students to apply for the President’s Student Leadership Circle—a unique program that connects emerging student leaders with professionals from across sectors. Participants will strengthen leadership skills, build self-awareness, and explore future career pathways.

Name?

Kevin Relf

Position and Contact

Coalition of Student Organizations Chair, senator2@my.lanecc.edu

Where are you originally from?

- I am from Southern Utah and moved to Oregon over 10 years ago. I grew up in a small town in rural America where the livestock outnumber the people. I have a 10-year-old daughter now and Eugene, Oregon is my current home.

What do you like to do in your free time?

- I absolutely love to skateboard! I have been doing it since I was a child (since that was really all there was to do in my small town). I have learned quite a few tricks in my time, and I still enjoy doing it to relax and get some good exercise now that I am older. I also enjoy playing games with my daughter Orianna and taking my dog Toby for walks with her as well.

Tell me something about your role in SGA that you have become passionate about.

- I was brought on in the middle of the term as the CoSO (Coalition of Student Organizations) chair. I didn’t think much of this position at first, but I have learned to respect how important and necessary it is at LCC. I have and will continue to dedicate my time to my fellow students and ensure their journeys into and with their organizations are fully supported.

What impact(s) would you like to make during your time at LCC?

- I want to make a difference for our students at LCC. I want their first foray into higher education to be a loving and memorable experience with their well-being and happiness at the forefront of the operations at LCC. Every student has a place here and I want them to continue to feel that way. As a member of our student government, it is our duty to uphold this responsibility.

Favorite student resource and why?

- My favorite student resources are my fellow senators, VP, President, school advisors, and student body that we have. We couldn’t do what we do without all of you and your efforts to help students like me create an engaging and successful journey into academia is critical. We must never let student-led efforts fade away and we should always do what is right for our students – this includes proper compensation and class offerings as well.
