Hello Raiders, 

We hope that everyone had a great spring break and came back refreshed for the second half of the semester. The Student Government Association (SGA) will be holding senator elections for the upcoming year from April 8 through April 11.

Your voice matters, so please check your email for the ballot for the senator elections and vote. 

SGA is excited to partner with ShipVotes, a nonpartisan group that encourages everyone to register to vote so that your voice can be heard. Be on the lookout for information at tabling events in the CUB great hall within the next couple weeks. 

SGA, along with many other student groups, participated in Mocktails hosted by Residence Hall Association (RHA) on March 27. The theme was “Battle of the Bands,” and SGA made cranberry “Dean Martinis” based on the artist Dean Martin. The turnout of RHA’s event was very good. 

SGA did not win any of the awards but enjoyed participating in the event with the other student groups. It was a great event to sample some tasty drinks and listen to some great music. Special thanks to RHA for sponsoring an amazing event.

The Budget and Finance committee continues its efforts to create a balanced budget for the 2024–25 academic year. 

New members are always welcome and encouraged to join so all voices of our student body can be represented during the decision-making process. 

As the school year is winding down, my term is also coming to an end. I have had the privilege to work with a great executive leadership committee being led by Harun Pacavar and feel that we have done a lot of good work to set SGA up for the future. 

I would like to thank Kim Rockwell for her patience and help in navigating this position and pushing me to always do my best to succeed. 

We have come a long way since the beginning of the year, and it is crazy to think it is almost over. 

It has been an honor and privilege to serve the student groups here on campus, and I have no doubt the next VP of Student Groups, Ella Zinn, will do an amazing job.
