“Although it is always great to see a number of students seek these positions, the fact that we are unopposed has given us the opportunity to get the ball rolling for our term which will serve to benefit the student body,” Johnson said. ”Even though we are unopposed, we think it is of the utmost importance to make efforts to connect with students and present our platform, as is typical with most campaigns.’

Students are encouraged to vote for SGA senators and Student Body President and Vice President through Orgsync today through Wednesday.

“The positions of Student Body President and Vice President exist solely to serve the student body,” Johnson said. “The executive branch of SGA’s two most important roles are the day to day operations of student government and representing the student body’s interests to administration. Alyssa and I are fortunate to attend a school at which so many students are passionate about their educational experience and their fellow students; it is our responsibility to make sure that these students’ concerns do not go unheard.”
