James Baumgartner |
Dear Red Raiders, I hope that you are ready for another exciting year at Texas Tech University. The Student Government Association is looking forward to working with you and having an opportunity to serve you while at Texas Tech University. I am confident that the 43 rd Session of Student Senate will continue to grow and have another successful year. The Student Senate is comprised of 67 Senators representing various academic colleges across campus. These students ran for this position because they felt that it was their obligation to make a positive difference at Texas Tech University. The Senators are your fellow students that are working for you. If you ever have a concern and would like to contact a Senator, feel free to come to the SGA office on the 3 rd floor of the Student Union or look to our website for their contact information (www.sga.ttu.edu). Seeing how large and diverse our campus is, look for Senators to be in contact with your organization or your college. We will have SGA days outside of the Student Union, student forums at your academic college, and Contact a Senator program. Also, look for Senators at RaiderGate, Take a Kid to the Game, student organization meetings, and in your classes. We plan on hearing everyone’s opinion and making your college experience the best that it can be. We have many exciting events planned for the year and encourage each student to get involved. We are fortunate to have over 400 student organizations at Texas Tech and I am sure that there is at least one that is right for you. I look forward to working with you throughout the year. I am honored to have been elected to serve as your Internal Vice President. I will work hard to represent Texas Tech University and value every student’s thoughts and opinions. My door is always open and we would love for you to stop by. Wreck’em Tech! |
