Reaching groups who aren’t traditionally as involved in the Student Government Association is one goal of UofL’s Student Body President Macy Waddle.
“We want to expand the reach of SGA, making sure many voices are heard,” Waddle said.
She says this includes undergraduate students, professional school students, as well as graduate students, pointing out that creating a space for students of all career paths is crucial to the integrity of any college campus.
“We represent students who live on campus, may be commuters or may take classes online. Our goal is to really make SGA more accessible this year.”
The leadership of the organization, known as the “Top 4” also includes Anna Hernandez, executive vice president, Grant Avis, services vice president and Kathleen Price, academic vice president. They each began their roles in fall 2025.
Waddle says the Student Government Association has launched a new executive staff outreach team led by Hernandez, which aims to increase student knowledge about SGA.
“We are trying to open things up to the student body and show students how SGA works and how they can get involved,” she said.
Since 1952, UofL’s Student Government Association has been working to make the university a better place, where student voices are heard and the campus is able to thrive.
