Meet Your SGA Executives & Cabinet

Elizabeth M. England

Major: Political Science 
Graduation year: 2025
Home: Grover, NC

“Over my last two years at CSU it has been one of my greatest joys to serve the student body as both a Senator and Chairwoman, now I have the honor as serving as Student Body President. This gives me the opportunity to work directly with administration and faculty at CSU to ensure that legislation passed by the Senate is enacted. It also allows me to advocate on behalf of the entire study body and to work with President Faulkner to maintain our focus on the students and how decisions for the future will affect both current and incoming students. I hope to help CSU grow, develop, and progress into the future.”

“I ran for SGA’s Secretary-Treasurer position because I love being a part of behind the scenes work and being involved in SGA! I love the work SGA does in giving students a chance for their voices to be heard. Though one day I will graduate and no longer be at CSU, I am encouraged in knowing that I can be a part of things that create a lasting impact on this campus.”
