Senator Warner promotes diversity in SGA

As SGA senators and executive officers get settled into their new positions, each student begins to set a precedent for the role they will play in senate and within their committees. Kayla Warner, diversity and multicultural affairs committee chair, said she wants to educate her fellow senators on diversity and for people to walk away from each meeting knowing something they didn’t before. “I just want to let you all know that I’m taking this very seriously and it’s something I’m really passionate about,” Warner said. Warner said she wants to teach senate about topics such as, thinking styles, language, gender, race and religion, as well as teaching senators to respect everyone and what they’re saying. “Every week for up to two minutes, I’m going to show a little diversity,” Warner said.
