Sky Turman
Senator of the Month
February 2023
As a Senator and Committee Chair, Sky helped keep her community directly engaged and involved by organizing SGA’s first “Speed Dating” event, where our Class Officers were able to advertise SGA’s upcoming events, initiatives, and more while speed dating. She also spearheaded our second annual “Succulents from Senators” initiative, where our Senators directly connect with the student body by giving out succulents in exchange for a concern that SGA can work on.
