BOONEVILLE, Miss., — Northeast Mississippi Community College students recently elected three members from the college’s student population to serve in the chief positions of the school’s Student Government Association (SGA) for the 2015-16 academic year.

In April, Northeast held online campus-wide elections for all potential candidates who qualified to run for the vacant office positions of president, vice president, and secretary.

Trace Lee of Columbus, Andrew Lambert of Booneville and Kelsey English of Corinth were elected as president, vice president, and secretary for the college’s student body, respectively.

Lee, a Columbus High School graduate, Lambert, a Booneville High School graduate and English, a Kossuth High School graduate replace outgoing officers: president Hunter W. Thompson of Booneville, vice president Haleigh Tennison of Booneville and secretary Luke Waddell of Booneville.

During the spring semester of each year, three sophomore students are elected to serve as president, vice president, and secretary for the upcoming academic year and ease the transition between school years.

Additional council members such as class and dorm representatives are selected during campus-wide elections in the early portion of the following fall semester.

Three freshmen representatives, three sophomore representatives, and six dormitory representatives will be elected during the 2015 fall semester to complete the SGA Council for the 2015-16 academic year.

Upon enrollment at Northeast, each student becomes a member of the Student Government Association, which is charged with planning activities and programs for the student body and to present helpful suggestions to the faculty and administration.

Northeast’s Student Government Association also acts in an advisory capacity to the college’s student population.
