On Friday evening, results for the 2021 SGA election were announced in a virtual Zoom meeting â and the Forward campaign triumphed.
This was the second election season taking place during a global pandemic, so this naturally altered some aspects of studentsâ campaigns. However, this did not stop them from putting their best efforts forward.
The three campaigns in the running during this election were EMPOWER, Forward and The Volunteer Way. Each campaign promised a fresh start and new ideas should they be elected, but it will be Forwardâs job to put these promises to the test.
Each of the Top Four candidates come from the Forward campaign.
With three campaigns in the running this year, SGA veterans are running alongside newcomers.Â
One of these campaigns is EMPOWER, whose goal is to lift up the UT student body and focus on giving all students a full campus experience.
SGA presidential candidate Aubrey Robinson is at the helm of this campaign, a junior from Nashville studying political science and French. She stated the significance of their campaign name, citing the SGA mission statement.
âThe EMPOWER (campaign) name was intentionally and thoughtfully selected by our Top Four candidates to convey our campaignâs goals and values. In fact, âempowerâ is one of SGAâs values and appears in the SGA mission statement,â Robinson said.
Wednesday evening, three Student Government Association campaigns met for a debate prior to the organizationâs annual elections. The hybrid event took place in-person at the Student Union auditorium and was also available to watch on Instagram live.
Three campaigns â Empower, Forward and The Volunteer Way â are running for executive and senatorial positions in SGA this year. From Empower, Aubrey Robinson is running for student body president, Peter Mansfield is running for vice president, Adejah Mack is running for student services director and Brian Lung is running for treasurer.
From Forward, Claire Donelan is running for student body president, Reginald Williams II is running for vice president, Nia Myrthil is running for student services director and Simon Jolly is running for executive treasurer.

Unraveling the Tangled Web of Deceit That Cost Jonathan Pollard His Freedom for 35 Years

Simultaneously, they also had to contend with a steady stream of misinformation seeking to distort the record.
