Dear, Fellow Tech Students
As the 48th Session Internal Vice President of the Student Government Association and President of the Student Senate, I plan to help lead a year that is full of positive changes for the student body. The position of Internal Vice President provides the perfect opportunity to be the direct liaison between the legislative and executive branches of SGA.
The Senate constitutes the legislative branch and it is full of bright minds with intelligent individuals with great potential to help the students of Texas Tech University. As their President, I will always encourage, educate, as well as hold each Senator accountable for properly representing their constituents by writing relevant legislation and follow it through fruition. Also, more communication lines will be established between the students and Senate, as well as between the students and myself, in order to create stronger relationships in order to be able to serve our primary purpose as being a governing body that is for the students. Along with holding several Senate meetings through the year, I plan on serving as a member/chair of several fee committees to ensure that student fees are being efficiently utilized. I also will be attending various student organizations and events on a semestrly basis for outreach purposes.
Student involvement in organizations on campus is a key to collegiate success and learning life and business skills for future careers outside of college. With more than 400 registered student organizations and counting, I would like to collaborate with Texas Tech’s IT Division to create a universal, fully-coordinated calendar so every student is “in-the-know.” This also allows for great advertising for various organizations that are looking to increase membership as well as advertise events that they are hosting.
Another initiative that I would like to bring back is the Leaders for Leaders recruitment program. It was created for leaders on campus to come together and travel to various high schools in the Lubbock community to speak with high school students and leaders about the great opportunities about higher education, involvement, opportunity, and our personal experience at Texas Tech University. If it proves successful, it is to hopefully expand to where the Texas Tech recruiting leaders could also visit and recruit to high schools outside of Lubbock so that we can reach out to as many high school students as possible.
