SGA
When choosing an SGA President it is important that they have enough experience to effectively manage the SGA, to have a solid gauge on student priorities, and to have a good understanding of how the campus operates. In the past three years I have directly worked with almost all of the branches of SGA, and been very involved with other organizations on campus. The two years I have served on the SGA Cabinet have been invaluable in providing the experiences necessary to be prepared to run for SGA President. Three years of SGA experience means three years of listening to student voices.
