My name is Andrew Hunt. I am a junior Corporate Management major from Centerville, Tenn.
Around this time a year ago, I was elected to serve Lipscomb as the Vice President of the SGA. My year serving alongside Patrick has better prepared me to serve as President more than anything else could. During my time as Vice President, I’ve seen all of the great things that SGA is capable of accomplishing, but I’ve also seen many areas that can be improved upon.
My main area of concern is communication. Our communication with the student body definitely needs some improvement, but I believe our communication with Lipscomb Administration and the Board of Trustees is vital. It’s easy to look at our problems as students individually, but I believe it’s important to look at the bigger picture.
Whether our problem is with parking, meal plans, increased tuition, outrageous housing prices, not having Good Friday off, sophomores living off-campus or the numerous other things that Lipscomb can improve upon, it is impossible to get anywhere with these issues if the SGA can’t communicate effectively.
If I am elected President of the Student Government Association, I promise that SGA’s communication with students, administration and the Board of Trustees will be greatly improved. I believe that this improved communication will lead to fairer policies, a better relationship between students and administration and an all-around better experience for Lipscomb students.
On Wednesday, please take time to go vote in the Student Center, no matter who are voting for.
