President’s Report

I represented students on the Sustainability Committee on Friday, January 8th. The end-of-the-year celebrations on Zoom was a celebration of the hard work club senators, ambassadors, and SGA officers put into the Fall 2020 student events and activities. We were all able to sit and converse and get to know each other better as we enjoyed a delivered meal. Branches of Hope supported over 25 qualifying students serving 59 children by providing gifts for the holidays. SGA Cares has served 91 students in various financial need due to the impact COVID19 had on their families, totaling $13,281.21; the remaining funds dedicated to SGA Cares is $1718.79.

SNA
As you know, the semester is just beginning, so thus far, we have not had a lot going on; however, that will change as the semester progresses. We, as a club, welcomed the students for the new semester and encouraged them. We have offered and made available resources for help and support for this semester. We have encouraged students to ask questions among their peers and to share study tips and ideas. Also, our executive board is in the discussion about plans for the club for this semester. At this time, this is all we have to report. Thank you so much for your time and for all you do! We appreciate you!

Please make sure that you submit your club reports.
