Letter From Your President
Tia Nickens End of Year Campus Address
Welcome to the Jaguar Family!
Thank you for choosing South to be your home for the next step in your journey. The
Student Government Association of South Alabama welcomes you. You are now a part of
a network, better yet, a family of intentional leaders, top professionals, and history-makers.
The Student Government Association’s mission statement is, “to protect and advance
the student’s interest as well as promote the welfare of the students by providing
student services”. You, the student, are the number one priority and of utmost importance
to the advancement of the University in the years to come. The Executive Council and
I are looking forward to cultivating a sense of home and purpose for you all and to
leave USA better than when our term first began. Every single student is considered
a member of SGA, and we will intend to represent you all with an emphasis on student
well-being, accessibility, and impactful engagement.
This year’s team is dedicated to ensuring each individual student feels heard, seen,
and valued as a member of the Jaguar family. We aim to make the University of South
Alabama an atmosphere where you can be challenged, be accepted, become engaged, and
continually evolve. I invite you to stop by the SGA Office which can be found right
across from the Student Center Ballroom in Suite 214. We would love to talk about
any ideas or issues during your time here at the University. Please join us weekly
on Monday nights where the student body can speak up on what could enhance the student
experience. Your ideas, thoughts, and feelings are important to us.
I am humbled and honored at the opportunity to serve the student body for the 2021-2022
academic year and am ecstatic about what is to come this upcoming year. Please reach
out if there is anything I or my team can assist you with to better your South experience.
Go Jags!
Grace Sekaya
SGA President
