PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (Sept. 10, 2025) – At the heart of Prairie View A&M University, a new generation of Panther leadership is rising. Their influence emerges not only from classrooms, but from the rhythms of campus conversations and student life. As they enter their first 100 days in office, the executive branch of the 44th Student Government Association is poised to steer PVAMU toward a year where representation isn’t just heard, but echoed across campus.
Leading the way is SGA President Jaquavous Doucette, joined by Executive Vice President Eddie Fowler III, Chief Justice Ennissa Wright, Comptroller Kenneth Lee, and Chief of Staff I’munique Liggens. These five are not merely the faces of the 44th SGA Administration—they are leaders shaping a student-driven movement that blends bold ambition with the steady heartbeat of community.
The student voice is their compass.
“Not about titles”
Jaquavous Doucette
Doucette, a senior communications major and first-generation student, is no stranger to leadership. His resume includes serving as Director of Academic Engagement & Student Success, Elections Commissioner, Deputy Chief of Staff, Mister Sophomore, and Panther Aid peer mentor. Earlier this year, he was appointed Student Regent for the Texas A&M University System—the second PVAMU student ever to earn the honor.
For him, leadership is less about accolades and more about accountability.
“I think right now, many students see SGA as more about titles and clout than actual service,” Doucette said. “I want students to know that when they walk into the SGA office, their voices matter, their ideas are heard, and their concerns will be acted upon.”
Doucette’s top priority is shifting the perception of SGA by showing its real impact: managing a $110,000 budget, advocating to administration, and shaping policies that affect daily student life. With future plans in politics and public service, he views his presidency as both a responsibility and preparation for the future.
Tradition and change
Eddie Fowler III
For Executive Vice President Eddie Fowler III, leadership is both legacy and opportunity. A finance and accounting double major from Katy, Texas, Fowler is a third-generation PVAMU student who previously served as freshman and sophomore class president.
“One challenge will be balancing the diverse perspectives within our student body while making decisions that serve the collective good,” Fowler said. “As a third-generation Panther, I bring an understanding of both tradition and the vision for the future.”
His 100-day plan emphasizes transparency and accessibility, echoing Doucette’s goal of making SGA more visible and approachable. Fowler says he wants students to see SGA not just in times of crisis, but as a consistent advocate. His involvement in groups like the National Association of Black Accountants and Scholars of Finance further equips him to connect financial expertise with student advocacy.
Justice through service
Ennissa Wright
Chief Justice Ennissa Wright, a senior criminal justice major from Round Rock, Texas, is beginning her second term in the role. She reflects on how her journey in SGA has transformed her—from being quiet and reserved to becoming a confident advocate for her peers.
Last year, Wright launched PVAMU’s first Judicial Week to educate students on the branch’s work. This year, she plans to expand the initiative, update bylaws, and explore alternatives to parking fines that reduce the financial burden on students.
“We’re entering a new era—an era focused on transformation, service, and accountability,” Wright said. “When I realized how much PVAMU poured into me, I knew it was only right to give back.”
Her long-term goal is to pursue a career as a corporate attorney, but she says SGA has already shaped her most important leadership lesson: that service outweighs titles.
Counting every dollar
Kenneth Lee
As comptroller, Kenneth Lee takes on the responsibility of managing SGA’s six-figure budget. A senior finance major from Columbia, Maryland, Lee is president of Collegiate DECA, an organization he founded. He says his focus is on making every dollar count.
“My most important goal will be to gather information on Prairie View’s accounting systems within its colleges and implement that in SGA’s funding system,” Lee said. “By the year’s end, I want us to be able to show how every dollar went toward benefitting PV students.”
Lee hopes his work will leave behind more streamlined financial processes for student organizations, which he sees as the heartbeat of campus involvement.
Building bridges across campus
I’munique Liggens
For Chief of Staff I’munique Liggens, connection is the priority.
A mass communication major with a minor in political science from Dallas, Liggens previously served as vice president of Research & Development and vice president of Administration. Now, her focus is on collaboration.
“My main focus is on building stronger connections between student organizations to foster collaboration and unity across campus,” Liggens said. “Equally important is making sure all branches of SGA have the tools, training, and support they need to operate efficiently and effectively. My ultimate goal is to execute with excellence and build a lasting legacy for this administration—one where the work we do today continues to benefit Prairie View A&M students for years to come.”
Her perspective is shaped by her experience as a transfer student.
“I had to work ten times harder to establish relationships, get involved, and find my place on campus,” she said. “That experience taught me the importance of connecting students to opportunities, organizations, and resources so they feel a true sense of belonging.”
Liggens, who plans to attend law school, is also a mentor with Panthers Producing Productive Mentees, a member of Panther Fostering Success, and Miss Dallas for the Dallas Club.
“At Prairie View A&M, we proudly say, ‘PV produces productive people,’ and as student leaders, we carry that legacy forward while striving to reach even greater heights,” she said.
Looking forward
Though their terms are limited, all four leaders say they are determined to make lasting change. Each student credits PVAMU for providing the experiences, mentors, and opportunities that shaped their leadership. In return, they see their SGA service as both gratitude and responsibility.
“SGA is not just an organization,” Doucette said. “It’s a platform to prepare the next generation of leaders. Our mission is to make sure every Panther feels seen, heard, and valued.”
For Doucette, Fowler, Wright, and Lee, the next 100 days are not just about leadership—they’re about legacy.
