Government Club, more popularly known as Gov Club, is a non-partisan, student-run organization where students talk about what’s happening in the world currently. It takes place every Friday in Sanders at 8 a.m. and usually is accompanied by donuts. Students can volunteer to lead a slide before the group about an event in which they are interested. Gov Club is Senior led but any grade can participate and make a slide to present. Junior Emily Jackson attends Gov Club every Friday and says, “Gov Club gives people the opportunity to learn about current events and discuss them in a fun, organized manner.”
