My name is Harrison Hadland and I am sophomore Political Science major. I have devoted my two terms as a Senator towards strengthening SGA’s ties within the St. Edward’s community and encouraging collaboration and partnerships with other student organizations. This includes advocating for and now developing an official class ring and ring ceremony alongside Transitional Experiences Council; registering voters with College Democrats; throwing an on-campus Halloween Party and Haunted House with the Residence Hall Association; advocating for a Green Fund alongside Students for Sustainability; and sponsoring a study hall with the Health and Wellness Center. I also helped craft legislation to require Senator visits to student organizations to discuss campus issues.

I now pursue the office of Vice President to continue to expand the organization’s reach and effectiveness. I will do so by being at each orientation during the summer, increasing the number and activity of non-officer SGA members, instituting greater organization and structure within Senate, and working diligently to increase communication between students and the administration. Finally, I want to continue the tradition of working with motivated students and organizations to affect change, address issues, and build a stronger community here at St. Edward’s University.
