President's Desk
To the student body at the University of West Georgia,
I would like to preface this letter by thanking you all for giving me the opportunity to serve you as your SGA President. It is with great humility and an even greater sense of responsibility that I have taken office.
Last year, I ran for president on a slogan that came to be known as "Stand Up", and after working so hard to gain your trust and support, that is precisely what I intend on doing for each and every one of you during my time as President. You can rest assured that your voice will always be heard to the leaders and administrators on this campus.
Furthermore, I intend to help make this university the place we all know it can be, by tapping into the potential of all the students here on campus, not just a select few. My goals include making the bus routes and times more efficient, extending bus service to the weekends, sponsoring more educational, social, and recreational events through SGA, and bringing about the proper awareness and support of the many resources and organizations present here at West Georgia.
In addition to that, the long-term goals of a student government under my guidance and leadership will be to gain more office space for prominent student organizations, reaching out and uniting with SGA's across the state and particularly in the metro Atlanta area, and tapping into the unprecedented potential of 11,000 smart, active, and goal-oriented individuals by beginning a campaign through the Student Government Association that focuses on the needs and desires of the student body, not just the administration or elected officials.
With that said, it should be noted that all of the items I mentioned are goals, and I cannot promise you that all of them will be immediately accomplished. What I will promise you is that every day I am blessed to be your SGA President, I will fight for the values and items that are most important to you, and do my best to ensure that you are properly represented regardless of the circumstance.
I promise that I will always listen to your concerns and suggestions, and not simply brush them off until the next time we meet.
I promise that I will do my best to be a prominent figure on campus that reaches out to all students, in all organizations, regardless of their academic success, Greek affiliation, sexual orientation, religion, or any other item that pits us against one another, rather than bringing us closer together.
I promise to truly be a President that works for the best interest of you.
Thank you once again, and I look forward to serving you not only this year, but in the years to come as well. God bless.
Fred Curtis,
Student Body President
