STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION ELECTIONS

As this school year is coming to an end, recruitment and officer elections are taking place within organizations across campus. Since two of the three Student Government Association officers are graduating seniors, and one will be graduating in December, it is now time for three new leaders to fill the positions of Student Body President, Vice President, and Secretary. Elections are taking place on Moodle starting April 19 through 21. Meet the candidates for LSUS 2021-2022 SGA President:
