SAU SGA Officers Installed
The new officers of Saint Augustine’s Student Government Association were inaugurated last week in a ceremony in which they were both congratulated and challenged. In the Oct. 17 event at the Saint Augustine’s University Chapel, Interim President Dr. Marcus H. Burgess noted that he was once a Student Government Association president himself.
“We are all going to have to get on the same page to make this work,” Dr. Burgess said. But he added that he expected the new student leaders to assert themselves.
“A challenge you, as student government leaders, to challenge me to be a better president, to challenge faculty to be better faculty, to challenge staff to be better staff, and to challenge your fellow students to be better students.”
Kristoff Strachan, SGA President, indicated that the students were up to the challenge. “We are more than students,” Strachan said. “We are a Falcon family. For almost 160 years our Saint Augustine’s University has been a place for resilience and transformation and, as your president, I will ensure that every student contributes to our collective success. …Together we can build bridges to a new destination.”
