“It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because
                 you can only do a little.  Do what you can.”                                                                                                                  Sydney Smith

Students for Democratic Process (SDP) is a new student club for ANY student at CVTC.   Your opinions do make a difference! Let your voice be heard!

The SDP club is designed to provide education and active involvement in the democratic decision-making process at the college, community, and legislative levels.  We aim to:

• promote democratic principles in civic and collegial decision-making
   
• provide educational opportunities for classes, clubs and individuals to raise awareness of democratic principles and application in daily events
   
• develop a network of individuals to support and promote students’ rights and responsibilities in work, civic, and school environments

Democratic decision-making = Majority affected has the authority (directly or via elected representatives) to determine outcomes, such as the following:

• tuition increases
• parking availability
• regulation of chronic waste disease
• grading disputes
• student activity fees
• merging of county/city law enforcement
• closing of the CVTC Child Care Center
• bookstore prices
• minimum wage
• your concerns

Get involved--help promote democracy right here in the USA--at CVTC, in your community, and in your career field!
