Dr. Stephen Brown, Dean of Student Affairs at TAMIU, called the elections an historic event.

"The elections process was excellent and will continue to improve as TAMIU continues to progress to become a fully developed four-year University," said Dr. Brown.

Over 10% of the student body voted in the SGA Elections.

Newly elected SGA executive officers are: Jerry Garza, President; Scott Roberts, Vice President; Suzie McManus, Secretary; and Kriztella Lopez, Treasurer.

The TAMIU Student Government Association, the official organization of the University's students, participates in the decision-making processes affecting students of the University. The SGA aims to enhance the quality and scope of education at TAMIU, and to promote the general welfare of the student body.
