UTSA Student Government Association announces election winners
(March 24, 2017) -- The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Student Government Association (SGA) announced its President-elect and Vice President-elect in a run-off election after a historic field of seven Roadrunners sought the office of President during the regular elections earlier this month. The Treasurer-elect and Secretary-elect were named in the regular elections.
Marcus Thomas, a junior economics major from Greenville, Texas, was elected SGA president for the 2017-2018 academic year. He served the past year as SGA Business Affairs Chair.
"I want people to know this election is not about me or any of the representatives in SGA," Thomas said. "It's about the UTSA student body. They're my core focus throughout my entire term."
Brittany Garcia was elected vice president. Garcia is a junior public health, pre-med major from Pharr, Texas.
Students elected Mariah Crippen, a sophomore communications major from Providence, Rhode Island, as SGA treasurer and Montana Meeker, a sophomore finance major from San Antonio, as secretary.
The new administration will take office during the annual SGA banquet and inauguration ceremony on April 9. Newly elected senators also will take office at the event. The officers will participate in a transition retreat on April 1 and will conduct their first SGA meeting at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, April 13 in the University Center Harris Room (UC 2.212) on the Main Campus.
