Do you think that SGA represents the student body effectively?
By | Dec. 31, 1969, 7 p.m. | In Latest »
"I, being part of the SGA, do believe that we are trying our best to represent Blair students. However, I do not think we are really listening to what the student body has to say.

Though it is taking a long time to address these types of issues, I do believe we are doing our best.”
