Her Campus: What made you get involved with CGA?Sally McAvoy: In high school I was the vice president of my student council and loved being in a leadership position. I wanted to continue my involvement with leadership positions in college, and the Community Government Association is a great way to do that.
HC: What is your current position in CGA?SM: Executive Assistant
HC: What position are you running for?SM: Secretary
HC: Why do you think you’re the best choice for the position?SM: The CGA secretary has several responsibilities, some of which I have seen first hand through being the executive assistant. From my exposure to this position, I have an idea of what will be required. I love collaborating with others, and with this position I think that with my time management, and organization skills, I have the possibility to be successful as the CGA secretary.
HC: What other organizations are you involved in? SM: I am a Community Assistant in Schuylkill Hall as well a member of PSEA.
HC: What would it mean to you if you became elected?SM: I would be both honored and excited to be the CGA secretary. I have seen the inner workings of the Community Government Association over the past year, and have loved learning about how the association runs smoothly. I would love the opportunity to help the association grow, as well as gain new skills to help myself grow. This would be a great chance to not only meet new people, but help others’ ideas be heard and implemented along with my own.
HC: What are some of your goals for CGA if you become elected?SM: Two goals I have for CGA that I would help to implement if I was elected to the CGA executive board are to make the Big Event a more well known event on campus, and I would make it a priority to make sure the students of Bloomsburg University feel as if they have the opportunity to have their voices heard. I attended the Big Event Conference at Texas A&M in January with three other CGA senate and executive members and learned lots of valuable information that would benefit Bloomsburg’s Big Event. If elected I will continue to share what I learned in the effort to make our Big Event an even greater success. Also, I believe it is essential to have many perspectives; therefore I will try to make it better well known that senate meetings are open to all students. So, when we discuss student concerns there will ideally be more students to share any concerns they may have in an effort to have all students have the best experience they can while being at Bloomsburg University.
