“You have someone coming in here who’s going to ... challenge you and support you in any way possible,” Carey said to the student senators. “You’re going to have ... a wonderful person with years of experience and knowledge who can really move this organization forward with the assistance of the senators in the room, the students we serve, the executive board and even the cabinet.”

Carey reflected on his time as SGA adviser, telling the students, “You’ve given me ... the confidence to be able to know I can do my job day to day.”

Ginotti then spoke to the senators, expressing her gratitude of being able to work with SGA.

“It’s going to be an extraordinary year for us together, and I’m hoping that we are just going to learn from each other and continue to grow,” Ginotti said. “I certainly expect that there are lots of ways that I’ll be growing and learning with you this year in this environment.”

Student senators introduced themselves to Ginotti during the reception and got the chance to get to know their new adviser. SGA President Jack Hesser said he looks forward to seeing Ginotti's influence on the organization.

“I think that she has an incredible energy, and I’m beyond grateful not just to have her present today at today’s senate, but to see how the relationship grows and to see ... how she can challenge and support us over not just the next few months, but in years to come,” Hesser said.
