For CAHS juniors Regan Johnson and Kendric Jones, the college experience means broadening one academic awareness but also being part of an organized voice for the student body’s academic, social and cultural well being at PVAMU. Serving as liaison between students, faculty, administrators, both were elected to the University’s Student Government Association (SGA). Johnson, a human science major, and Jones, an agriculture major, are bridging the gap between the traditional perception about agriculturalists as farmers and the reality of what students studying in the field of agriculture set for themselves as ambitious goals. They understand and help their classmates embrace the College of Agriculture and Human Sciences as the arm of the University that supports the land-grant mission and the critical role the agriculture industry plays in the economy.
Jones, SGA comptroller, says, “Being an agricultural major concentrating in economics has really helped me in my position because it allows me to enhance my knowledge in financial operations and teach people how to break down a budget.” Johnson, an aspiring dentist, is excited to expand students’ ability to enact change to all aspects of the campus and make every PV student feel like they’re part of SGA.
