Why some students say they feel especially disconnected from SGA this year

Why some students say they feel especially disconnected from SGA this year

Claire Yates, Contributing Writer • March 1, 2021
Campaign season usually takes over campus. Now students could conceivably log onto classes and never know election day was around the corner. Whether it's the pandemic or a lack of transparency from SGA, some students say they feel totally removed from the election process this semester.
