Brian Wilks
SGA President 2012-2013
As I pen my farewell, I am overcome with so many emotions. My journey this year has been amazing and I have been honored to travel this road with each of you!
Last spring, you the student body, entrusted your voice to me by electing me SGA President 2012-2013. It has been a pleasure serving you, the JSU student body as your 2012-2013 Student Government Association President.
In the beginning of our United State Constitution there are three opening words that are very powerful. And those three words have guided the vision for my administration this year…FOR THE PEOPLE”. Understanding that this year, these three words became more than a slogan but transformed into COMMITMENT! I have always believed in the philosophy of there being no “I” in TEAM. Thus, my focus this year was to increase student involvement, student morale and social awareness among our students while creating a campus atmosphere that continued to advance the needs of and cater to all students both commuter and residential.
With the help of each of you, I am proud to say that WE DID IT TOGETHER! We did it by increasing our numbers in attendance at student body meetings; we did with a powerful SGA street team that worked to make sure that the 2012-2013 SGA had a POWERFUL presence via social media; we did it with your help of keeping every student on campus connected through campus involvement.
George Washington stated, “What makes us different is when we are able to transform power peacefully.” As we the Class of 2013 depart ‘Our Dear Old College Home’ I wish each of you the best. To the underclassmen, continue your journey to greatness and achieve all the academic success you can. And remember what we did this year was never for us but always FOR THE PEOPLE!
Thee I Love…Forever and Always,
Brian J. Wilks
