Newman University Student Government

Last Tuesday, SGA held its end-of-the year banquet to celebrate a successful year and inaugurate the new senators. The banquet was a great way to talk about this past year and build excitement for 2024-2025! We cannot wait to get started next year! Once again thank you to .pictures for her wonderful pictures of the evening.

SGA knows how hard you’ve worked this semester so we want to reward you with free paletas! Look out for SGA on a golf cart or the student success center to get yours on May 1st 11:30-1:00! Go jets!

Last Friday SGA hosted bubble soccer in collaboration with Friends University. It was a hit (and a kick). Enjoy these wonderful pictures from .pictures of the event!

It’s time to place your votes for the fall 2024 senators! Is the QR code in the second slide or this link https://newmanu.wufoo.com/forms/sga-election-202425 to vote! Results will be announced at Jet Friday April 11th.

The wait is over, bubble soccer is finally here! Friends and Newman paired up to make this a fun filled evening! Please use the QR code to RSVP (only those who RSVP ahead of time will be able to play). Don’t want to play? Still come out to meet other college students in our area and have fun! See you April 19th!

Meet your vice-presidential candidate, Gabe Trevino!

•What is your year and major?
I am a Sophomore. My major is Psychology w/ concentration of Occupational Therapy and Minor in Music.

•Why are you running for vice president?
I am running for Vice President not only to work alongside President Alondra, but to be able to make a difference on and off campus and get our student body back on their feet by participating in school and club events. I want everyone to know that I am there for YOU and I wish to uphold their dreams and what they want to see done on campus. 

•What specific changes do you want to make as vice president next year?
The changes we want to make is to make the senate more fun and collaborative. As an SGA member, it is very overlooked to be an SGA senator and I want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to be on the executive board, be a senator, and be able to be active in our community. President Alondra and I will be working on promoting the duties of senators and why it’s important, so that our numbers can grow. We look forward to meeting and seeing new faces, and are eager to get things going. 

•Why should the students vote for you?
I’m not taking the position to have something on my resume, I’m here to make a difference. President Alondra and I are here to transform society in a fun and positive way, and what better way than to start on the ground of Newman University. I do my absolute best to be involved on and off campus so that I give the motivation our student body needs. If they need to see a friendly face in a random crowd, I will be that person. 

•What is a weird fact about you?
Pineapple on pizza is delicious. Prove me wrong!

Last week the Jets Resource Hub had an event with free Chick-Fil-A to raise awareness for this SGA funded hub. Located in McNeill 123, the JRH provides students with access to a variety of non-perishable food items, drinks, clothing, school supplies, and personal hygiene products free of charge. All students are welcome to its resources and they do not have to be suffering from financial insecurity to obtain items. Keep an eye for more events with free food and information!

•What specific changes do you want to make as president next year?
The changes I would like to make along with my team is to make the senate more fun and collaborative.

I am a Pokémon Go Master 😎

Last Friday, some of our Executive Team went to Kansas City for an all MIAA Student Government Conference! They got to share ideas with other SGAs and learn more about what they are doing to prepare for next year. This is the first time there has been an MIAA Student Government conference and we were so happy we got to be a part of it!
