SA President
BRENDAN QUINN
Quinn, the current SA President, is running for re-election this year. A junior majoring in history and political science with a minor in public administration, Quinn wishes to continue to serve as an "effective voice for the students for another year." As SA president, it would be Quinn's goal to "persuade the College to publish a booklist… [so as] to provide a campus-wide textbook exchange, which will be overseen by SA staff." Quinn said that under his guidance, many achievements have been made by SA. For example, he has reformed election procedures and financial policies, as well as the contracting process for clubs and organizations. If not re-elected, Quinn vows to continue his participation with SA at the standing committee level.
JAMES BRYANT
Bryant, a senior history major, aspires to be "a true advocate of the students, one that seeks to foster a sense of empowerment in other students, encourages cooperation between students to overcome common obstacles, and in general, strengthens the channels of communication." Bryant has been a member of the SUNY Student Assembly for three years, which is the student government of the SUNY system. With this organization, he has worked with 64 SUNY campuses as the Student Government Relations. As president, Bryant would seek to improve interactions between SA and the rest of campus, "increase solidarity and teamwork between clubs" and "increase student empowerment." "As President," said Bryant, "I will be more than willing to set up meetings [to] talk with administrators… I will also make SA a place where you can come to learn how to create changes [here at Geneseo] yourself."
SA Director of Business Affairs
ADAM GROSS
Currently holding the position of junior class president, Gross is in the running for the position of SA director of business affairs. With dreams of some day becoming a financial analyst, the role of director of business affairs would not only give Gross the chance to "have more pull on campus" but also give him the opportunity to train for his future career. Confident that he could handle the pressure of such a stressful role in Student Association, Gross looks forward to "getting more involved in campus affairs."
