As my term in student government ends, I want to express my gratitude for the privilege of serving you. Together, we have achieved much, and I am proud of what we’ve accomplished.
This year’s experience of being President of the SGA has allowed me to make greater connections on campus and understand how students really do play a role to make a change.
This year we have been able to make milestones such as confirming the implementation of temporary speed bumps to deter speeding on campus. We have also been able to make important changes to the SGA Constitution and Bylaws through the Ad Hoc Constitution Review Committee.
These changes come from the hard work of the Executive Leadership Committee, Senators, and the student body. As the semester is coming to an end, new things have come to light.
The Student Activity Fee has increased which was approved by both SGA and President Patterson. This increase brings benefits of balancing the budget and more. With the great work by SUSSI and the Budget and Finance Committee, this work was possible.
Lastly, I strongly encourage all students to find any means possible of providing feedback to the SGA. We strive to work towards the needs of all constituencies and provide as much help as possible. Providing a direct link between the students and our organizations is vital for any change to take place.
I wish the new ELC and Senators the best of luck and can’t wait to see what is in store for the university after I graduate in May. If anyone ever needs anything, please feel free to reach out to me at (717) 966-9778.
