Make your voice heard, get involved, and help find solutions to the problems facing our world today with IU South Bend’s chapter of College Republicans.
The College Republicans have been around for quite awhile. The national organization was founded in 1892 and now has more than 250,000 members on more than 1,500 campuses nationwide. College Republicans work to help elect Republican candidates, support the Republican agenda, and become the future leaders of the conservative movement.
“We are looking for people to get involved, because we would like to see more young people contribute to improving the economy, help to find solutions for problems such as poverty, health care, and strengthening national security,” said Voy Marczynski, President of IUSB’s chapter of College Republicans, in an email interview. “Participating in the club provides students with a great opportunity to learn real life experience.”
According to Marczynski, the club needs all types of students who can contribute to its growth. There are still various positions to fill and all majors are welcome.
To achieve their goal of helping students engage in the political process and become active citizens, the College Republicans will hold regular meetings. They plan to hold two meetings per month on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Meetings will take place at the Student Activities Center in the Club Room 206.
At this time, the group intends to help with the campaigns of several Republican candidates. They also plan to host events that will be open to IUSB students as well as the local community.
“By becoming involved, students can help decide which actions the U.S. should take to maintain its position as a worldwide leader that benefits not only its citizens, but also the rest of the world,” said Marczynski.
The club will host its first event on March 31 with a screening of the movie Expelled in Northside room 113. The movie will start around 5:30 p.m. and everyone is welcomed.
For more information, students can contact College Republicans by email gop@iusb.edu or visit them on Facebook – College Republicans-IUSB Chapter.
