The Student Government Association (SGA) has announced its officer
positions for 2009-10. The SGA officers comprise the MUSC SGA Executive
Committee and demonstrate responsibility, productivity and time
commitment of serving fellow students and enhancing the campus
environment.
President: Sheldon Bates
“As I served as SGA president this year, the SGA has, among other
things, advocated for improvement of interprofessional initiatives,
obtained 550 parking spaces in the Bee Street Garage, initiated an open
forum for student concerns and conveyed these concerns to the State
Legislature.”
In his second term, Bates will chair the Student Welfare Committee,
plan and conduct SGA elections, and keep in close contact with Student
Programs staff.
Academic Vice President: Tyler Pierce
“While chairing the University Honor Council, I worked tirelessly to
enhance and promote MUSC’s honor code, as well as bring all six
colleges under the same honor code once again.”
In his second term, Pierce will assist the president with
management of the SGA, serve as parliamentarian, chair the Academic
Affairs Committee, chair the University Honor Council while managing
the University Honor Code, and plan and conduct a constitutional review
at least every two years.
Program Vice President: Andrea Boan
“The SGA Oyster Roast was one of the largest, most successful events in
SGA history and I plan to set the bar even higher for next year by
incorporating your comments and suggestions to continue to enrich the
value of these events.”
In her second term, Boan will attend all events, communicate with
college and student organization leaders to assure effective calendar
planning, be the official representative of the student body on the
Cultural Projects Council and make arrangements for the annual MUSC SGA
Fall Retreat.
Secretary: Meg Croom
“I firmly believe that my past leadership experiences will be a great
asset to our student body and that I will be able to bring many new
ideas to our university’s Student Government. I am excited to serve as
secretary and to continue to inspire an interprofessional relationship
between the colleges.”
Croom will maintain all official records of SGA on the SGA computer,
including membership, rosters, agendas and minutes, notify SGA
representatives of scheduled meetings, take roll and manage the
attendance policy, handle all SGA correspondence and the posting of
minutes, help plan and execute the Clarion competition and be
responsible for the accuracy and effectiveness of SGA’s organizational
Web page.
Treasurer: John Brandt
“While you might not see everything the SGA does on and off campus, I
can assure you that this organization is working diligently to serve
the student body in any and all ways necessary. The SGA has a track
record of financial responsibility and staying within budget year after
year. I want to continue this trend while making sure that the SGA uses
all its resources in the most efficient ways possible.”
As SGA treasurer, Brandt will manage all fiscal affairs of the SGA
including establishing an annual budget, maintain financial records and
deposit and expend university funds, make financial reports at SGA
meetings, chair the Service Committee, coordinate group service
projects and maintain service hour records.
