CCE SGA officers announced for 2009-2010 school year

Seven percent of the CCE student body participated in the election of the 2009-2010 Student Government Association (SGA) officers on April 6, 7, and 8.The new CCE/SGA officers are Jessica Butler, president; Victor Vincent, vice president; Heather Brennan, secretary; Natalie Bowks, treasurer, and Kathleen Winkler, activities director. Student representatives are Gracie Harris, Jennifer Agee, Mischa Miles, Steveland McSwain and Yolanda Mason.

“I am proud to be working with such talented individuals,” said Butler, who will be working with a full team next year. “This year the SGA was on the verge of a complete melt down, the president left, there was no vice-president, and other various members did not carry out their duties in the respective positions. I am very proud of all the work the current members of SGA have done.”

This past semester, Butler assumed the duties of president to maintain the SGA presence on campus.

This year SGA was responsible for Zen week. Masseuses were on hand to relax tense students on their way to final exams.

“Zen week will be back. We’ll also try to add more activities such as movie nights and community volunteering,” said Butler. “We also want to address the health of CCE students. We will be hosting a ‘Biggest Loser’ contest, but we will also be trying to form a fitness club for those not participating in the contest.”

Election results will be formally announced at the first annual SGA sponsored Spring Fling on April 25 on the Dana lawn.

The event will start with the annual awards ceremony at 1 p.m. Traditional cookout food will be served along with an ice-cream social provided by the alumni.

“The Spring Fling is something never done in SGA history. We will be closing the road in front of Dana lawn, said Butler. “After the ceremony, the fun starts. We will have inflatables, magic shows, mad scientist activities, and a special treat called ‘Dunk the Dean.’ There will also be activities for adults, such as pedestal jousting and sumo wrestling. The atmosphere we are trying to create is a Guilford College street fair.
