After a record amount of applicants, the Student Government Association announced the new executive council for the 2021-22 academic year on Wednesday, March 10.
Ian Puckett, a junior from Mayfield, Kentucky, was elected president with 226 votes. Puckett was a former senator at-large and ran for president uncontested. He will be the next student regent on the Board of Regents.
“I am very excited to have the chance to serve all of our students at Murray State,” Puckett said. “I have served in several capacities in my time at MSU. I was a Summer O Counselor my freshman and sophomore years, IFC President as a sophomore and I have been in SGA since January of 2020. Dedicating myself to serving others has always been my mentality and that will not change while I am President. I can’t wait to work with everyone!”
