The Auburn Student Senate on Monday confirmed five SGA executive officers and Senate committee chairs proposed at the Student Senate’s last meeting on March 5.
Executive Officers Confirmed
- Chief of Staff: Mackenzie Yelton
- EVP of Initiatives: Austin Chandler
- EVP of Programs: Patrick Starr
- EVP of Outreach: Jordan Kramer
- EVP of Communications and Marketing: Bailey Hand
Newly appointed EVP of Initiatives Austin Chandler was present at the Senate meeting and was asked by Graduate School Senator Max Zinner to give an example of an initiative he is most passionate about.
“One of the things that has been brought up with SGA in the past is having a program for student and faculty interaction outside of the classroom,” Chandler said. “My personal project would be a student, faculty lunch program. So, it would be no cost for an Auburn student to take any faculty member — that’s a teacher, Auburn administrator, a GA who teaches a lab or a section of class — to a meal. Just to foster that relationship outside of the classroom.”
Senate Chairpersons Confirmed
- Academic Affairs Committee: Avi Vaidya
- Budget and Finance Committee: Hayes Lee
- Code of Laws Committee: Max Zinner
- Inclusion and Diversity Committee: Ada Ruth Huntley
- Student Affairs Committee: Sully Jeter
