Campus Champion

Student Government Association Vice President Eve Cisneros knows what it takes to be involved on campus and to support student life. As SGA’s previous events coordinator, she successfully organized The Big Event last year along with many other activities. Currently, the junior criminology major serves as a student hearing officer with the Student Conduct Office. Her SGA duties also include working directly with students to start new clubs, with at least five established since the start of the school year. Looking ahead, Eve will lead SGA starting in the fall as its recently elected president.
