As the spring semester comes to an end, new Student Government Association class officers have been elected for the 2015-2016 school year.
The voting took place from April 23 – April 27, and the student body was able to cast their votes through the Portal website.
The upcoming sophomore, junior and senior classes voted to fill the positions of president, vice president, secretary and treasurer.
Anna Goodman, a communications studies major from Kansas City, Kansas, was elected as the senior class president.
She said she was excited to run so she could have an opportunity to have a role in an organization that will give back to the senior class.
“Because it is our last year, I would love to see more unity,” Goodman said. “I would love to help bring our class closer together as a whole – to see them grow closer.”
Amid numerous university transitions, Goodman said she is hoping to help the student body embrace the changes on campus.
“It is a larger leadership role than I have ever had,” Goodman said, “but it will definitely be a growing experience. I am excited to see where it goes and what it brings for our class.”
