Our campaign is Take Back Your College Experience by helping us make NKU R.E.D. R.E.D. stands for Retention, Engagement, and Diversity and we believe these three focuses serve as our best chance to regain control of our college experience despite the chaotic and uncertain climate we’ve happened to find ourselves in here at NKU. We’re running on a platform that is very intentional in valuing the experience of every student here by supporting them in any way that they need to feel supported. We want to not only give them opportunities and platforms to advocate for themselves but rebrand SGA so that when they do so they can trust us to direct them to the best possible avenues to influence the positive change they’d like to see within their personal experience or those of their peers. We want every student to feel like they belong here, and we want every student to want to be here.

One Vision. Two Voices. One Student Body. Being unified with a common desire alongside clear consistency and diversity will result in total execution of our goals. We believe our various college experiences bring different perspectives that allow us to approach a goal of unity, to amplify the student voice. We are here for you NKU! Our mission is to illustrate student’s desire and curate effective policies, aiding in the diversity of NKU’s success through our 3 C’s: Convey student’s desires, Cultivate diversity for NKU’s success, and Connective community outreach. Conveying student’s desires begins with utilizing S.G.A to its fullest capacity: survey responses, boot on the ground, liaisons, all committees and more. By amplifying diverse voices, an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and represented will occur. This will aid in retention of students. Connecting our multi-faceted community is vital for the uprise of our culture. Outreach to organizations, students living on campus, international students, commuters, underappreciated majors/minors, athletic teams with no fan attendance, and more is crucial for increasing the feeling of belonging at NKU on campus and in the surrounding community. Let’s make a difference in 2023! It starts with a vote for Savage & Copfer.

My name is Brayden Young and I am am incumbent Justice of the NKU SGA, Judicial Council. Since I joined SGA in early October, Chief Justice Price, myself and our fellow justices have transformed the judiciary into a working council that has handed down Judicial Opinions that define parts of the SGA Constitution. I describe myself as a conservative textualist, doing everything in my power to define the SGA Constitution with the meaning of the words on the paper while holding true to the workings of SGA. I ask for your vote to be Re-Elected as a Justice of the Judicial Council in order to keep our very powerful government in line with our Constitution and at a high level of prestige.

Hello! My name is Calli Antle and I am a law undergraduate seeking election for Judicial Council.

Additionally, I have already served a semester in Student Government Association and this experience will allow me to take on more advanced projects. If I am elected, I am confident that I will serve the community well and continue to make positive changes.

I am entering into my senior year as an undergraduate here at NKU. I have been a member of student government since my fall semester as a freshman back in 2020. I have witnessed a lot of challenges the organization has gone through in recent years. I promise to the student body that I will continue to fight for the organization that represents them to be the best version of itself that it can be; so that the interests of the student body are given the primary place of importance with administration.

My name is Princess Nworah and I'm from Nigeria, I am currently a freshman at NKU with double majors in Economics and International Business. My first year at NKU has been full of many ups and downs but I like to replace my lows with learning experiences because they help with character development. I have grown and learned more as a person and am glad to enter my second year even stronger. I am currently in the Student Government Association and it has brushed me up more professionally. SGA helped me to be more conscious of my duties as a student and as a representative of other students at NKU. It is such an honor to work with so many wonderful people in the group to achieve the happiness of the general student body.

I’m from Brooklyn, New York and I moved to KY in my sophomore year of high school.
