Student Body President Reedy Newton said leaders in Student Government advocated for students across campus and the Carolina community throughout February.
"The new year is a chance to set goals, whether they be academic, physical or social. I want to encourage you to use this semester as a new beginning — a clean slate with new schedules, new classes and new adventures to be had," Student Body President Reedy Newton writes in her guest column. "Soak in every moment of this semester as it will pass by in the blink of an eye."
"In my capacity as Student Body President, I have been advocating for academic advising, mental health, parking and an expanded student union," Student Body President Reedy Newton writes. "While I know that I or Student Government are not going to single handedly fix all of these issues, I believe collectively that we have made some significant progress in these areas."
Student Body President Reedy Newton wants to bring transparency and communication to the student body. In order to uphold this commitment, she will share monthly letters through The Daily Gamecock to help bridge the gap between the students and the office of the Student Body President.
