    After weeks of heavy campaigning that included everything for signs to buttons to pick-up truck supported billboards, Megan Guilfoyle was elected Student Trustee. Guilfoyle beat out Hugh Baugher by 34 votes and Robert Gibson by 58 votes.
    Baugher will now fill the position on the Programing Board. Markita Barnes won the votes in that election, but does not have enough credit hours to fill the position.
    Guilfoyle said, “It was nice to compete against two other people who wanted this opportunity for student trustee just like I did, and I am excited that Hugh is now on Student Government so he can share his ideas with us.”
    Jenna Moore was elected SGA president and Amanda Reese won vice president. Amber Padilla will fill the position of treasurer and Kyle Fogarty will fill the position of secretary.
    A total of 268 votes were cast in the election, a turnout that pleased SGA members and advisor Cory Tommasson. Tommasson said, “We are really pleased with our turnout. It is nice to see so many students getting involved with the SGA. The votes were split up pretty well for the Student Trustee position because all three candidates did a great job of publicizing themselves across campus. I am really optimistic about the up-coming year and what the SGA can do for the college."
