Jones was appointed this semester to fill a vacancy left by Candy Cheung of Kokomo, who is graduating in May. Director of Student Development and Campus Life Sarah Hawkins said that Student Government Association members act “as a communication link between the student body and the faculty and administration of the university, voicing the needs and concerns of their constituents.” Many SGA members serve on university committees, providing student input on a variety of topics and projects. “The student government is responsible for allocating the Student Activity Fee, which supports a wide variety of co-curricular events and programs throughout the year. SGA members also work to promote cultural, service, and social programs, appropriate to the needs and interests of the student body,” Hawkins said.
