President Paul Ferguson is set to speak at an open forum during the Student Government Association meeting on Wednesday.
The president will speak about his Centennial Commitment and will take any questions or comments from students according to an email sent out by SGA.
Secretary Rahissa Engle said she is looking forward to seeing the president interact with students.
“We can give students an outlet to speak to the president and we can relate information we learn from students to the president,” she said.
She said it is important to have the president’s support for SGA.
“The fact that he was more than happy to come into a senate meeting so we can hold a forum for students is a pretty big deal,” she said.
Following the open forum there will be a reception where students can meet and interact with the president. Free food and other refreshments will be available to attendees.
The forum and reception will fulfill a platform point of the current slate in office. Originally there was supposed to be a presidential mixer in the fall, but due to scheduling issues it had to be moved to the spring semester, Engle said.
“He was really happy to work with us on helping us get that accomplished,” Engle said.
President Pro Tempore Aric Hopper said the president speaking at the meeting shows that he is student centered.
“I think it’s excellent that President Ferguson is willing to reach out to students in organizations and find the time,” Hopper said.
Grace Ferguson, the first lady, and Kay Bales, vice president for students affairs, are expected to speak at the forum as well, according to the Facebook event page.
The meeting begins at 3:15 p.m. in Cardinal Hall A and B followed by a reception in the Music Lounge at the L.A. Pittenger Student Center.
