Mosley and the class E-board held three monthly class meetings with a focus on graduation preparation for the Class of 2018. Senior class partnered with the N.C. A&T bookstore to host a graduation fair for students to choose graduation caps and gowns, and receive information on commencement.
Senior Week was held with the following events: Student giving challenge, Adulting 101, and Ultimate Game Night.

“I think that this semester has gone great.”
Junior Class President: Allison Gilmore- junior journalism and mass communications student
Junior week was the first week of October with the following events: Black Man, White Office, a tutoring community service event, Black Card Revoked panel session and Woods of Terror class trip.
The class E-board held pop up events at Williams Dining Hall and the New Student Center to boost student attendance at class meetings.
Next semester, weekly programs will be changed to monthly programs.
“Our third event, ‘Black Card Revoked’ had a student panel and we had a really good turnout with 100 people there which was really exciting,” said Gilmore.
Sophomore Class President: Edward Dickerson
Dickerson held sophomore class meetings with interactive games and information on important events. The class E-board is looking to boost attendance next semester through advertising events early and utilizing custom flyers.
Dickerson submitted proposal for events for Sophomore week to be held the last week of January.
“Our class is made up of outstanding talent, so I feel like NCAT ‘21 is an unmatched class,” said Dickerson.
In addition to the Senate’s evaluation, The A&T Register will also produce and publish SGA Grades based on the SGA Constitution in the Spring 2019 semester.
