As the 2008-2009 school year comes to a close, the Student Government Association is beginning its transition. Members are graduating or taking on new positions within SGA, creating a fresh group of student leaders to represent the Loyola Evergreen Campus.
New members of the Executive Cabinet were recently selected by the Cabinet Selection Committee, which is composed of a student body president, two student body vice presidents and three class presidents. After much debate and discussion, twelve students were chosen to oversee various aspects of the Loyola community, from academics to technology.
Santina Craze, '12, will be the chief of staff. A Psychology major with a Spanish minor, Craze was a member of the freshman assembly this year and is the photography editor for the Evergreen Annual, Loyola's yearbook. She has an entire desk drawer dedicated to SGA-just one example of her organization, an essential quality to be an effective chief of staff.
"My biggest goal for next year is to provide more transparency between the executive cabinet and the rest of the Student Government," Craze said.
The new director of academic affairs will be Dennis Delany, '10. Delany is a Biology and Spanish major and has been on SGA since his freshman year. He plans on building upon the work of past administrations, which includes developing the advising program, trying to get major GPAs printed on school transcripts and pushing to get an MCAT course on campus.
"I want to work with some first year programs, international programs and academic mentors to try and better communication and help students to know what their options are," Delany said.
Kelsey Powell, '10, will step into the role of director of resident affairs. Powell is a Psychology and Public Relations major and was a member of the junior assembly. She has many ambitious aspirations for her time as a member of the Executive Cabinet, though the Selection Committee believes that "if anyone can do it, Kelsey can."
