Savannah State’s Student Government Association kicked off SGA Week this past Sunday with a worship service at St. Philip AME Church. Service started at 10:00 am for college day at St. Philip. Buses were provided for students to attend church service. “Everything was beautiful. Church was grand. We gave a total of five scholarships… and ten gift bags,” says SGA President, Natavis Harris. On Sunday evening, SGA hosted a pool party located in Wiley Wilcox at 7:00 pm. Wiley Wilcox was filled with the student body. SGA President, Natavis Harris was more than pleased with the event’s outcome. He said, “A lot of people came out. We were nervous because we thought we didn’t promote enough but we did!”
Today SGA hosted the Meet and Greet in the student ballroom. This event gave students the opportunity to socialize and get to know the new SGA members. It also gave candidates running for office the chance to introduce themselves to the student body. The event had a live performance from the band, Nickel Bag of Funk and refreshments were served.
