Southeastern is looking for a new president, but the students are looking to have their voices heard.

Back in February 2021, SGA President L’Oreal Williams promised Strawberry Jubilee would be an event full of games, food and fun.
Junior Family and Consumer Science major Mervian Smith confirmed this promise. She shared some details regarding the festival this year and explained the theme of the event.
