Meet your SGA Representatives!

Anna Becker is a Senior Class Representative!
“I like being a part of a community within my school that allows me to have an active role in what happens on campus. Getting to be involved in iconic events like the courtyard carny is what makes SGA fun. SGA has additionally allowed me to meet people that I otherwise would not have connected with.”

Avery Cornford is the Senator for the College of Engineering, Letters and Science.

Dalton Higley is the Commuter Representative.
“What I really love about being a part of SGA is the feeling of being a part of change here on campus. Since my freshman year here at Viterbo University I personally feel we have come a long way in making people feel more accepted and valued here on campus. While there can always be areas that need improving, SGA has brought more visibility, community, and cosmetic changes here to Viterbo. I am so excited and proud to be an elected member of SGA for the first time!”

Lizzie Tesar is a Junior Senator and the Vice President of Finance.

Logan Jancsurak is a Senior Senator.

First year nominations start today! SGA meets every other Sunday in Reinhart 134 from 7-8 PM. Joining SGA means you can have a voice in our student government and advocate for your class! Our mission is to listen to the students of Viterbo to find ways to improve campus life.

The nomination period runs from September 12th-September 21st. You are welcome to nominate yourself, or anyone you think would be a good fit!

Nominate in the Qualtrics form at the linktree in our bio today! We can’t wait to see all your amazing nominations.

If you’d like to see what we’re all about, join us at our next meeting on the 25th! We welcome all members of the Viterbo community to sit in on any of our meetings!
