If you have ever wonder what it is like to be the head of our student body, here is a glance at what it takes.
"If there is one thing I am good at, it is managing my time. I do so many different things in different areas that I have to have good time management skills. I love being busy and always on the go. It takes some time to get used to the rigorous day but I love it." said Jim Daly, senior, Hazelt, N.J.
"Campaigning is crazy. I love it. You have to be totally crazy enough to win. You have to be willing to meet every person. I try to meet every student here at SHU and serve them to the best of my ability."
"I ran for President the spring of my sophomore year. So I was president all of my junior year than was reelected to being president again this year for my senior year."
"Being Student Body President is a very demanding job. You have to love what you are doing and I absolutely do. I love being the person everybody comes to with their questions. I can't explain how many emails I get from students asking me random questions and I enjoy responding back to each one."
"I love the variety of personalities I interact with each day and the connections I am making that will help me later down the road in life."
"I am the direct voice of the students to the administration. The job itself requires roughly 30 hours a week on top of my regular scheduled classes. I am constantly in and out of meetings each day of the week."
"I sit on various faculty committees of the Budget Review Committee (voting on tuition), NCAA Certification Committee, School Spirit Committee, various other Student Government Meetings. I help manage all of the clubs and organizations on campus also. When a major issue arises on campus, it is up to myself and others to relay that to the administration to help things get done."
"There are many perks to being the Student Body President. One, you have the title. How cool is it to tell people that you meet, 'Hey I'm the Student Body President.' The administration knows you personally and is willing to do anything for you. It is a great feeling. I love it and I do not consider anything a disadvantage."
