McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
The McNeese SGA serves as the official representative for students and advocates on their behalf to campus, local, state, and national officials. Our goal is to improve student life on campus by hosting proactive programs and activities, sponsoring community service throughout our campus community, providing support to student organizations, and providing information and updates to the student body. McNeese SGA also assists with various student events, such as homecoming week or spring fling week, which encourage students to have fun, meet their peers, and enhance their experience here at McNeese.
The McNeese SGA is a great outlet for students to promote change. Our SGA is composed of student leaders who are elected and appointed by students. We host elections for students to vote for or against various propositions that may positively impact their experience at McNeese. Ultimately, SGA provides McNeese students a voice for change that goes beyond the classroom.
The best way to get involved is to attend SGA programs, activities, and meetings. If you are interested in an elected or appointed position within SGA, you can receive more information about joining student government from the SGA office and staff. If you want to be actively involved with campus life, you can join the many active clubs or organizations McNeese has to offer on campus and become the SGA representative for that group. Additionally, the student government always needs program volunteers. If this interests you, please contact a member of the student government for program information.
Students are welcome to visit our office in the Old Ranch. However, our presence in the office varies. For quicker responses and appointment scheduling, you can email any officer you are hoping to reach through your McNeese email. You can find our emails on the Get to Know Us page. Questions or concerns may also be submitted to the open forum form.
I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
