Former Student Body Vice President and current VP elect Michael Bearth speaks at the first SGA meeting of Fall 2019. The student Senate heard bids for recognition from four student groups at the meeting.

Recently inaugurated SGA President John Kirk nominated former Student Body Vice President Michael Bearth to serve as the next VP.

Bearth served as the student body vice president from 2019-2020, alongside former SGA President Kitrina Miller. Bearth was also previously a senator.

Bearth said in an SGA press release that he believes his past experience will help him if he steps into this role once more.

“SGA has been fluctuating through some of these changes,” Bearth said. “I hope to provide a bridge from past experience to the new to gain some stability with our team.”

Bearth will face the senate for confirmation this Wednesday, Sept. 21.
