Independence Community College held the annual Student Government Association (SGA) Induction Ceremony on Friday, September 9, in the William Inge Theatre.
Roughly twenty student representatives from various programs across campus were greeted and introduced by current SGA president Brin Stark. ICC President Dr. Vincent Bowhay then swore in students.
SGA is the official student governance body at ICC. The student association's primary responsibilities are to help facilitate student/faculty relations and ensure that student concerns and needs are resolved. The Student Government Association ensures that students have a voice in what goes on around campus.
"ICC does a nice job involving students informally in decision-making, but SGA is a strong tool for formal student engagement," said SGA Co-Advisor Marg Yaroslaski. "Representatives from all student groups across campus come together to discuss student needs and advocate for students, making real changes. Our 22/23 SGA president, Brin Stark, is excited to have ongoing conversations with ICC administration about how best to meet student needs at ICC now and in the future."
Stark was voted in as the SGA president in May of 2022 after serving as Vice President. Stark is involved in music, theatre, and the Resident Assistant program.
