“In my time as senator, the position I started as in SGA, I’ve seen the great work that past presidents have done before me…I look forward to building upon these different initiatives,” Nguyen said. “Now, this upcoming year, we need to expand upon that and also refine what we’ve done previously. So, I’m super excited to take on this challenge in this new year, so let’s see where it takes us.”
