Student Government Association campaigning is an annual rite
of spring that turns campus walkways and students' T-shirts into
advertisements. In the past, tickets were called Fusion, TIME, the
Student Voice, S.M.A.R.T. and TeamTigertown. This year, the two
tickets are
Т
and United Stripes.
Past SGA presidents can boast a long list of changes.
One started Tiger Reels, one is working in the TU Alumni
Association, one was former chief of staff for Governor Robert
Ehrlich, and one is responsible for the bronze tiger in front of
Stephens Hall. Both of the current tickets hope to make their
own marks on the University.
"I would like mine and
Т
legacy to be that we were
an administration that cared about the students," current SGA
attorney general and presidential candidate, Jillian Roller, said. “I
do not need to be remembered for a physical thing, while T-Unity
does hope to make many physical changes. If I am remembered, I
would like to be remembered for being the president that worked
side-by-side with the students and truly cared about them.”
Senator Nicole Kazanecki, who’s also running for the presiden¬
tial seat, said that she has specific plans for what she wants to see
on campus next year.
"Although I understand the hardships of ongoing construction
and lack of funding from the State, I hope to establish something
which would affect all students of Towson on a daily basis,” she
said. "I would like to do this by establishing some sort of conces¬
sion stand for the center of campus where students can use their
dining points to purchase food on-the-go. This is a long-time goal
that myself and members of United Stripes hope to work towards
during the upcoming year.”
The following are questions to and responses from past SGA
presidents, reflecting on their time as president, their accom¬
plishments and hardships, and advice they offer for future
campus leaders.
