(L-R) Treasurer Joey Zakutney, President Brandon Caroll, Secretary Morgan Bradley and Vice President Shane McCarty of SGA4You pose in front of Hillcrest Hall.
McCarty said SGA4You's ideas for the fall have both their pros and cons.
"There is an opportunity cost," McCarty said. "If you do one thing, you will have to sacrifice another. Realistically, we have a bunch of great ideas, and we have to figure out what we are going to do and do well."
Zakutney said SGA4You is going through its big list of ideas and figuring out what it can and can not do.
"The more relationships we develop with the outside organizations, the more we will be able to accomplish and develop," Zakutney said. "We are not going to pretend like we know what we are doing with each and every aspect with our plan. We are going to reach out to various clubs and organizations and get them to help us, and in turn, we will help them with their missions and goals, but that is going to be the way that we make this the most successful SGA."
McCarty said the SGA team is working to make itself visible to the students and show them how they can have a voice.
"There are things that we know that we can do," McCarty said. "For example, meeting on the Drillfield, that is something that we want to do. Having D2 dinners with the students is something that we can do. In terms of the big things we want to get done, we have a vision and a plan for how we are going to get them done. We still have to figure out how everyone fits into this one dynamic idea."
Bradley thinks that constant interaction with the students will help give them their voice
"If we continue to reach out to the students we already know and reach out to the ones that we do not, we will have continuous interaction with the student body," Bradley said. "From our actions beyond SGA, the student body will see that our actions do truly correlate with our vision."
Carroll said he is excited to see where SGA goes in the fall.
"We are excited, elated and so grateful," Carroll said. "The campaign started with you, ended with you, and now the new year will start with you."
The SGA inauguration will be this Monday, April 13, at 5:30 pm on the steps of Burruss Hall.
