The Student University Activities Board has announced its new leaders for the 2013-2014 academic school year.

The newly appointed president is rising senior and electrical engineering major, Cameron Ward. Since multiple events of SUAB were cancelled or changed at the last minute throughout this semester, Ward’s first plan is for the executive board to sit down with administration and make sure they are on the same page. “I do not want that to carry on into next year,” said Ward. Aside from making sure events go as planned, Ward also wants to have more outside events toward the beginning and end of the semester, when the weather is nice.

Besides creating events for students to have fun and network, Ward also wants to bring a better sense of breast cancer awareness to A&T’s campus. He feels the new executive board is passionate about what they are set out to do. “I think we have a good nucleus,” said Ward.

Tamira Williams, rising senior and industrial and systems engineering major, will serve as the new vice president. She served as the campus-programming chair for the 2012-13 academic school year.

This upcoming year, she wants to keep the Aggie Pride spirit alive and help students become more aware of what is going on in the globe and community. Williams is excited to serve again for SUAB and believes the upcoming executive board has a lot of great minds.

Rising senior and accounting major, Raquan Cotton is the newly appointed parliamentarian. One of his goals for this upcoming year is to run the executive board more efficiently so there are no problems on the day of events. Another goal of Cotton’s is to plan an extravagant SUAB pageant that is bigger than ones from past years. “I want to help everyone reach their goals while reaching mine,” said Cotton.

Economic major and rising junior Helen Davis will serve as the new treasurer for SUAB. She is excited to host the block party and wants it to be as good as the one held this year. On top of that, she hopes to have a successful school year and be a great treasurer for SUAB by having successful monetary transactions.

Devan Cothran, journalism and mass communications major and rising senior, will serve as Miss SUAB for the 2013-14 academic school year. She is very excited to serve and start implementing her campus wide community service project, which is called The Clean Up Drive Games.

In the games, there will be students that are split up into teams and each team is responsible for cleaning up a different side of campus or Greensboro. At their location, they have a specific object to find and they only have a two-hour limit to find the object and clean up their project before they come back. Aside from her many community service ideas in mind, she wants to encourage students to vote and understand why it is important to vote.

Mister SUAB is rising senior and computer science major, Keon Mitchell. He is a strong advocate for community service and feels it is bigger than giving physical items. Mitchell wants to implement more mentoring programs and launch a campus wide event that incorporates all organizations of NC A&T.

“Each [organization] reaches out to a certain demographic,” said Mitchell. By having all organizations involved, Mitchell’s hope is that all demographics will be reached and no one is left out. He also wants to ensure that there is always something happening on campus and not have GHOE and AggieFest be the only events students look forward to.

Rising junior and criminal justice major, Patreika Whitehead will serve as the cultural affairs chairperson. She plans to bring back the past chair Jenell McMillon’s events because they were cancelled during the school year.

Two of the events were 90s versus Modern Day music and Clash of the Culture Fashion Show. Whitehead wants to bring these events back because the student body was really looking forward to them. “It’s not just about me, it’s about everybody,” said Whitehead.

Jelissa Morris rising junior and journalism and mass communications major will serve as the campus-programming chair. Morris wants to implement more campus activities that bring campus bonding. Some of those activities include Aggie Skate nights, gym jams and more activities in the Holland Bowl.

She would also like to start an annual Martin Luther King campus cook out because she feels HBCUs do not embrace black history month as much as they should. She is really excited about the new executive board and feels they have good leaders. “We have a lot up our sleeve,” said Morris.

Sophomore, criminal justice major Ameera Davis will serve as the marketing and media chairperson. She believes the executive board will be great working together because they already have a connection. “We know we can rely on each other,” said Davis.

She feels her main duty is to stress to A&T students how important it is to get involved and get students into the “know.” Even though she is the youngest person on the executive board, she feels she can serve as inspiration to incoming freshman. “You’re not too young to make a difference,” said Davis.
