It's been another fine year at Rollins, though we could have used less wind and rain as the school year began. Some of us are moving on to new careers; others continue to learn in an immaculate environment. For those of you who are staying, I can't encourage you enough to get involved in whatever activities on campus you enjoy, as it will add to your education as well as being good for the spirit and community.
Your Holt SGA has new life in it this year, in no small part due to Matt Sayti, Staff Advisor, and Dr. Sue Easton, Faculty Advisor. I couldn't have asked for better liaisons to the college, whose inspiration and hard work helped HHSGA succeed. In addition, my predecessors, Richard Mino and Bandar Reda, helped lay the groundwork for what is again a vibrant, active organization.
Mary-Allen Singer, your incoming President, earned her elected position through similar hard work, along with a passion for service that inspired me every week. Tiffany Valo and Richard Mino were equally diligent and fun to play and work with, and Brian Hernandez helped us enjoy a wider audience for our work through The Sandspur. I'm grateful to all of them.
And I salute every Senator who served the majors of the Holt School, getting the word out and bringing student concerns back to us. All of you have made a difference, and I sincerely appreciate that.
The three years I've enjoyed at Rollins, first as a part-time student and later with a full-time schedule, provided a top-notch education, friends I cherish, and the spirit and drive to enter a career that will make a difference.
Watch your Holt SGA website at http://www.rollins.edu/holt/hhsga for events as the summer progresses, and I thank you for your support.
Matt Drury
President, Holt SGA
