With noticeably heightened interest in Student Government by students, David Watson has great expectations for the 2013-2014 academic year.
Merely but one of his many roles, Watson is the current executive parliaementarian, which puts him in charge of contact assistance for the SGA. “When someone has a conflict, I’m the person they’re supposed to contact,” Watson said before clarifying, “I take a running tally of who’s going to be there and who’s going to be late.”
Though he will not be attending on Sept. 12, Watson urges students to participate in the Student Government Association General Forum on Thursday.
“The General Forum is to voice your opinions to Student Government. It’s very important,” Watson said, who lightheartedly added, “As an incentive, the first twenty students to arrive will receive a complimentary t-shirt.”
Having been part of the Student Government Association since his sophomore year, Watson has become a strong representative of Cabrini students. Though he has also been part of SGA for the last two years, he has seen major improvements in the association’s use of social media and organization. “I am very social media geared,” Watson said, adding, “We’ve definitely improved on getting information out through social media much quicker.”
Watson is most excited to see the changes in SGA this year and what the Class of 2017 has to offer. “There has been a lot of interest in the freshman class that I could see, whether it be from the involvement fair, or the word of mouth—many kids have told me they want to be involved,” Watson said, who likes seeing the enthusiasm from the underclassman.
