Your Campus. Your Voice.
With You on the HilltoP
Why With You? You may be asking yourself this exact question. As the Student Government Association, we need to make sure that we are striving to do one thing: serve the students. That's all that matters. The new Association would do this through three core values: Engagement, Collaboration, and Advocacy. These values influence every single branch every single day. Here's what the new SGA would look like through these values:
Engagement
- Coffee and Conversation- Senators, as well as the President and VP, would complete office hours in Jo's 2-3 times a month to spark conversations with the student body
- SGA Service Hours- All SGA Members attend 2 service opportunities throughout each semester
- Club President Outreach- Establish a club President Committee wherein SGA Members and respective club presidents meet
Collaboration
- Project With You- Senate to pass a minimum of 6 pieces of legislation along with a Student or Organization throughout the school year
- Student Government Sponsorship- Student Government would work with different offices and organizations on campus to sponsor events
- Extra Extra!!- Partnering with Hilltop Views and topper Radio to create unique and up to date information regarding the Student Government Association
Advocacy
- Not on behalf of students, but with them- Whenever applicable, invite students to meet with us and upper Administration to include students in the advocation process
- The Hot Seat should be Hot, not cold- Taking students concerns and ideas via the Hot Seat and following up/ through with them
MEET US (AND OUR CAMPAIGN TEAM TOO...)
HEY Y'ALL! MY NAME IS BEN GRIFFITH AND I'M RUNNING TO BE YOUR STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT! I HAVE LOVED MY TIME HERE ON THE HILLTOP SINCE TRANSFERRING HERE 2 YEARS AGO. SERVING ON THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS HAS GIVEN ME INSIGHT INTO HOW GREAT THE SEU COMMUNITY IS! NOT ONLY HAS SGA GIVEN ME THESE OPPORTUNITIES, BUT WORKING FOR CAMPUS RECREATION, BEING A MEMBER OF HILLTOP HOSPITALITY, AND SERVING AS A TRANSFER STUDENT ASSOCIATION AMBASSADOR, HAVE ALL GIVEN ME UNIQUE EXPERIENCES HERE ON THE HILLTOP. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING AN ENGAGED STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT, AND CANNOT WAIT TO BE "WITH YOU" OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. TOPPERS UP!
HELLO! MY NAME IS AMANDA RODRIGUEZ, AND I AM A SOPHOMORE FINANCE MAJOR AND SOCIOLOGY MINOR. I HAVE BEEN AN SGA MEMBER FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. I SERVED AS THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR THE 2016 SPRING SEMESTER, AND I AM CURRENTLY SERVING AS THE SERVICE DIRECTOR FOR THE 16-17 ACADEMIC YEAR. OTHER RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF MINE INCLUDE SERVING AS CO-DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL PROJECTS FOR THE STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM AND AS A S.E.R.V.E. 1 DAY COORDINATOR. MY STUDENT LEADER POSITIONS ON CAMPUS HAVE REQUIRED TIME MANAGEMENT, CREATIVITY, STRONG COMMUNICATION, AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, WHICH I BELIEVE HELP QUALIFY ME TO SERVE AS THE NEXT VICE PRESIDENT. I BELIEVE ALL STUDENT VOICES NEED TO BE HEAR AND SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM. THE HILLTOP IS OUR HOME. LET'S MAKE IT WHAT WE WANT IT TO BE. I AM #WITHYOU.
