SGA held their officer elections with all four candidates running unopposed.
Brayden Stoner the current SGA president ran for the second year unopposed.
Stoner is a sophomore business administration major and marketing minor from Arkansas City, Kansas.
He said he learned a lot from his first year as president one thing he learned is he needs to be more responsive when people give say things to him. He has also learned that communications is important in any role but especially leadership roles.
Stoner said that another thing he likes about SGA is being able to make connections with all sorts of people.
One of the goals stoner has for next semester is creating an SGA retention program as it has been brought to his attention that involvement in SGA has been dwindling.
He would also like to work on installing hammocks somewhere on campus.
“I like being able to help people out because I understand that a lot of people have issues with stuff on campus,” Stoner said.
He continued and said he likes being able to talk about that change and get that change to administration.
Maci Flowers ran for vice president she is a freshman from Tecumseh and elementary education major.
“I’m from three hours away, didn’t know anybody, but I got up here and it has been so much better than anything I could have ever pictured,” Flowers said.
Her goal as SGA vice president is to make the college experience, being on a small campus, as amazing for everyone else as it is for her.
Another one of her goals is to listen not only with her fellow SGA officers but also with students to help her learn and grow.
She said that being in the Presidents Leadership Class last semester has also helped her network and feel confident to step into this role.
Johnathan Ylitalo ran for secretary, he is a double major in biology and chemistry from Enid and is in his third year at NWOSU.
Ylitalo had kicked around the idea of running for an office but it was not until he talked with Kaylea Brown, the current SGA adviser that he decided to run.
Brown encouraged him to run as there was not many others running.
Ylitalo is currently an officer for both the chemistry and medical science clubs.
He said he would like to develop a feedback loop to make it easier for students to submit their feedback on events without having to be at a meeting to submit their ideas.
Andrew T. Scott ran for treasurer for next semester.
Students are encouraged to attend SGA events throughout the year as well as meetings and become a senator if they would like to help with events on campus.
