SGA 2025 Election Results Announced, Highlighting Leadership Changes and Goals
The SGA 2025 election results were announced, highlighting Faith Geistweidt as the uncontested president and Crispus Ankomah as the graduate vice president. Emphasizing transparency and effective communication, Geistweidt aims to connect with students through social media. Other elected officials include Jackson Bentley and Madeline Clark. The term begins officially on May 1.
The results of the Student Government Association (SGA) elections for 2025 were revealed through a live stream on Thursday afternoon, following Texas Tech’s temporary shutdown the previous day. Crispus Ankomah, a graduate student from Ghana, triumphed in the contested race for graduate vice president. Faith Geistweidt, a junior majoring in agriculture and applied economics from Fredericksburg, was elected as the student body president in an uncontested election.
Geistweidt emphasized her commitment to enhancing transparency between the SGA and the student body, aiming to effectively communicate through popular platforms such as social media. She stated, “Being able to tell students what Student Government Association is doing — whether it’s the Student Senate or on the executive side — and the wonderful things that we’re working on on a day-to-day basis, I think, is really important for students to know.”
The newly elected president acknowledged challenges faced by the SGA, particularly in retaining and recruiting senators. Internal Vice President elect Madeline Clark will prioritize these issues, ensuring clarity and openness in communication with students. Potential incentives for senators might include early registration for classes or scholarship opportunities.
Geistweidt pointed out the importance of transparency in her leadership approach, asserting that if students are unaware of initiatives such as placing a coffee vending machine in a building, they remain uninformed about the efforts their government is undertaking to enhance their experience. She officially begins her term, along with the 61st session, on May 1.
The results for other executive positions include Jackson Bentley as External Vice President and Madeline Clark as Internal Vice President. A comprehensive list of newly elected senators from various colleges is also provided, showcasing representation across multiple disciplines.
In summary, the SGA election results for 2025 highlighted significant leadership changes, with an emphasis on transparency and student engagement as primary goals. Faith Geistweidt’s focus on communication through social media and potential incentives for senators reflects a commitment to improving student governance. With the commencement of her term on May 1, Geistweidt and her team are poised to address crucial challenges within the Student Government Association.
