The University of Scranton Student Government announces election results for the 2023-2024 academic year.
According to results of the recent election, Karla Shaffer, a junior with a major in political science, will serve as Student Government president, and Maria Stephen, a sophomore with majors in history, philosophy and political science will serve as vice president.
The term for the executive team will begin officially on May 1.
“I'm excited to serve as Student Government President because I live by the notion that you should be the change that you want to see. It's empowering to be in a space with students who feel the same way. Having the platform to foster communication and collaboration between the student body and administration is a really gratifying role as a student here at the U,” Shaffer said.
“I love advocating for people and creating changes that sometimes may go unnoticed. I have served on student government since my first year and am truly grateful for the opportunity. I am excited to use this position to foster a sense of inclusion and belonging throughout the student body here on campus,” Stephen said.
