 Haley Grantham, vice president of SA, said she felt the SA elections resulted in a great turn out.  
“As a facilitator and one of my primary roles as vice president, I was excited to begin working with new people to start working on ideas for this coming school year,” Grantham said. “My job is to be the facilitator to the senators, so that they can talk to the right faculty and staff members and hopefully make their platform a reality.”
