ASNIC

ASNIC (pronounced Az-nik) is an acronym for the Associated Students of North Idaho College. All currently registered students at North Idaho College are members of ASNIC, and the ASNIC Student Government is made up of students elected by students to represent the entire NIC student body. Together we are ASNIC!

Officers

The ASNIC Student Government consists of a President, Vice President, and up to 8 Senators. Board meetings are held once a semester in the Student Union Building. Students, faculty, and staff are welcome and encouraged to attend. Visit your student government officers in the ASNIC suite on the 2nd floor of the Student Union Building. Their space is your space to enjoy, and students are encouraged to interact and share ideas and concerns with their student government officers. ASNIC officers are here to continuously improve the college experience for all students.

Mission Statement

As the elected officers of the ASNIC Student Government, we will amplify student voices to advocate and create change to enhance the student experience by serving as a bridge between students, the administration, and our community. The ASNIC Student Government aims to be the eyes, ears, and voice of the students of NIC.

Success Stories

	In May 2020-2021, NIC ASNIC Officers Hannah Neff and Jameson Wasson worked with students and NIC's Landscape Services to bring new life to the NIC Rose Garden for their student project The beautiful campus rose garden was created in 2007 as part of NIC's larger Nine-Point Agreement for all to share in friendship and unity. The garden is divided into four sections, and each includes a placard with historical information on various places of significance to the Coeur d'Alene Tribe.
Jestine Lackner, 2020-2021 ASNIC Vice President, Resident Hall Advisor, and avid volleyball player, wanted to make a difference on campus. Last spring, she knew what she wanted to do after seeing one fellow student take one too many volleyballs to the face while playing at the beach court in the evening. Her project goal became a reality in the last week of the school year at NIC's Yap-Keehn-Um Beach. Jestine was present as the facilities crew installed large LED lights that light up the beach court for evening play.
	Kai Sedlmayer-Nardi, 2020-2021 ASNIC President, heard from peers that finding campus classes during the first week of school was difficult as a new student. After brainstorming and researching solutions, Kai found a campus department to print and distribute the maps in the future. In April 2021, she purchased the moveable stands to be placed around campus, working with the department to stock them with maps. During the first week of school, the stands will be highly visible in entryways and walkways, making it easier for students to find their way around campus.
