Chloe Anagnos took office as the Student Government Association president today.
Anagnos was inducted by SGA adviser Jennifer Jones-Hall at 3:22 p.m.
“I feel really good,” Anagnos said. “Today is a good day.”
Jones-Hall said she is excited for Anagnos to begin working as president.
“I feel fabulous, fantastic,” Jones-Hall said. “Chloe is going to do a phenomenal job.”
Alyssa France also was inducted today as vice president, and she said she is ready to “realize her collegiate dream.”
“I am really looking forward to the new role,” France said.
She said the biggest difference between the members of the current slate and herself is her four years of SGA experience.
She worked as the board’s campaign manager when they were running for elections last year. She said this gives her a good working relationship with the group.
Nominations for SGA Senate president pro tempore took place today. Three senators were nominated, Jack Hesser, Jason Pickell and Bryan Kubel.
Elections will take place at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday at the SGA Senate meeting in L.A. Pittenger Student Center Cardinal Hall B and is open to everyone. SGA will release later in the day.
France, the former pro tempore, said she has spoken privately with all the nominees and said they are all “very qualified.” She said she will work to help them keep the platform they promised.
Three senators also were inaugurated into office today.
Anagnos said she is ready to begin working on her board’s platform points.
She also mentioned several special projects her platform has worked on, such as a project with the Campus Cyber Council for the National Cyber Security Awareness Month of October.
Anagnos said during her platform’s elections, several people asked why their platform points were so vague. She said they were intentionally vague in order to allow her platform to work on special projects that organizations bring to SGA.
She said at the current rate, they will complete all of the platform’s points in December or January to free her executive slate to work on more special projects.
SGA will continue to promote Countdown 2 Kickoff and is looking to create organizational mixers so that student organization leaders will be able to make connections with other student leaders, Anagnos said.
