The new Student Government Association cabinet was inaugurated into office on Wednesday, January 22 at 9 p.m.
After the election in November, the Molla administration selected cabinet members from a group of candidates, who then began preparing to take on their roles as the new SGA cabinet. Since their election, the administration has been sitting in on meetings with their counterparts in order to become better accustomed to their roles.
Many members of the SGA and the student body congregated in the Babbio Atrium to see the inauguration. As the ceremony began, former SGA President Jason Chlus briefly discussed the work that he and his cabinet had done before wishing the new cabinet luck, stating, “I am really confident in all of you, and I hope my cabinet helped you transition well.”
After Chlus spoke, Speaker of the Senate Dylan James Moon began the process of swearing in the new administration, with Samantha Molla as the new President, Adrian Castellanos as the Vice President of Operations, Hailey Tanner as the Vice President of Student Interests, Christian Bonavita as the Vice President of Finance, Andrea Maria Diaz-Gonzalez as Secretary, and Anthony Tesori as the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
The new President took the stand and thanked her predecessors, former Presidents Lucas Gallo (2018) and Jason Chlus (2019). She proceeded to acknowledge the work that Chlus has done this year, stating, “Every Sunday at 7 p.m., I was able to walk into BC 122 and see a leader who was committed, determined, empathetic, and passionate, who drove his senate and cabinet to attain selfless goals and encouraged them to always express their thoughts and opinions. He taught me that being a leader is more than just sitting in front of a room and going to meetings with important people there […] his dedication to the position could not go unnoticed.”
The inauguration can be seen on the SGA Facebook page.
