Hello, my fellow Eagles! This is Danica Scoma, your student trustee for the 2025-2026
academic year. For new students, and those of you who may not know me, I would like to introduce myself.
I am very active on campus as an IVCC Peer Mentor, captain of the women’s soccer team and a member of several organizations (including the art and international clubs). You are very likely to see me around—so don’t be shy and say hi to me!
What is my role as your student trustee? I’ll break it down for you. Aside from serving my duties on the student government organization, I also attend the monthly Board of Trustees meetings.
I am your representative —your voice— who can directly reach the people who are in charge of making decisions in your favor. My goal for this year is to help foster an even greater sense of community on campus. I want to improve the communication about student services and activities that are available to you all.
Also, as a peer mentor working in IVCC’s counseling department, I strongly advocate for
student’s mental health and want to continue bringing awareness to the resources that our campus provides for free.
For any freshman interested in joining SGA, petitions will be available beginning Sept. 15 at 8 a.m. outside of Cory Tomasson’s office (E-306). Petitions must be returned by Sept. 19 at 4 p.m. Freshman elections will be held Thursday, Sept. 25 and Friday, Sept. 26 from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the Student Life Space.
Lastly, I hope to see you all at Spirit Day on Sept. 24 from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. in the courtyard. Spirit Day is a great way to meet new people, join clubs and organizations and learn about IVCC departments and events on campus.
There will be food and many interactive games to play for students and staff. For any recommendations or advice you would like to share with me, you can email me at [email protected] or stop me in the hall to chat!
