Congratulations to the winners of the 2015-16 Student Government Association elections held from April 10-13 at Jackson State University.
Students are to be commended for participating in the student leadership process and going out to vote for the candidates of their choice. Students who voted have made their decisions and not only should that process be respected, all the winning candidates deserve the support of the entire JSU student body.
Rashad Moore, a criminal justice major who has served as the business manager as a freshman, Mr. Sophomore, and currently serves as his junior class president, won the SGA President position.
Moore’s platform was, “Time for Moore: More innovative and effective leadership; More philanthropic service; More student activism and inclusion; and More elevation of the collegiate experience”.
“I can honestly say that it’s the student morale that’s one of the biggest issues that we have this year. And I feel that not one organization can fix that, it takes a collective effort. Not only the SGA, but you have MADDRAMA, you have dance ensemble, you have the Sonic Boom of the South. We have to make sure that we build those relationships with other organizations on campus to then make us as a whole be prosperous,” said Moore.
Charence Higgins, a speech major from Madison, Miss., will take over the reigns as 2015-2016 Miss Jackson State University. She currently serves as Miss Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc., Delta Phi Chapter, and MADDRAMA member. Her platform was: No L.I.M.I.T.S: No Losing Insight on My Intelligence, Talent and Service.
“Winning the election feels surreal. It’s incredible and something I dreamt about since I was a freshman. I’m excited and ready to implement my platform. No L.I.M.I.T.S.’”
