The 64th Student Government Association (SGA) President Jacquerius Howard and his Cabinet were inaugurated on Tuesday, October 5th at 6:00 pm in the Dr. Clinton Bristow Jr. Dining Facility Gold Room.

The members of the SGA Cabinet were officially sworn in for the 2021-2022 academic year. The 95th Miss Alcorn State University, Olecia James, gave the ‘Mission and Vision’ of the SGA. Following were words of encouragement given by Assistant Vice President
and Dean of Students, Dr. Natasha Hutson. The official Installation and Investiture of the SGA President and Cabinet followed.

The members of the Cabinet included Jacquerius Howard, SGA President, Madison Gray, 1st Vice President, Christopher Epps, 2nd Vice President, Horace Hayes, Senior Class President, ShaMarri Townsend, Junior Class President, Vanessa Washington, Sophomore Class President, Kennedi Fitzgerald, Freshman Class President, Patrick Henderson, Business Manager, and Keisha Scott, Secretary.

The SGA Charge was given by Dr. Tracy Cook, Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs. President Felecia M. Nave closed the ceremony with remarks and the singing of the Alma Mater.

SGA President Jacquerius Howard expressed his gratitude for being inaugurated by stating, “I have always served the student body to the best of my ability, but it’s different when you have that officially inaugurated title to it. I am officially the 64th Student Government Association President and it’s just a different feeling.”

Howard strives to continue his platform for the remainder of the semester and academic school year. “The main platform that I ran on was amplifying the voices of the student body. I didn’t go out and promise that I’d have the best Homecoming, Step Show, or BraveFest, but I did promise the students that by the time that I’ve served my complete term, their voices will be amplified and they will be heard,” said Howard.
