by Tom Perry

Marietta, Ohio (04/25/2019) — Marietta College's 2019-20 Student Government Association leadership comes from three states, including a California native as student body President.

Marietta's students elected Rachel Ewing '20 (Stockton, California) to be the SGA President, and she will replace Emily Vigue '19 (Lancaster, Ohio). Ewing said she is looking forward to serving as the 2019-20 SGA President.

"I am especially excited to increase the presence of SGA on campus and hopefully get more students involved," she said. "For SGA, this will mean being more transparent with the student body, increasing engagement, and making sure to have student input on the decisions being made around campus. We have a great team this incoming year, both the executive board and representatives, and I am extremely excited to work with them and see what we can accomplish for the student body."

The remainder of the SGA leadership team is Vice President Katie Kitchen '21 (Marietta, Ohio), Treasurer Ashley Klopfenstein '20 (Cicero, Indiana), Secretary Tyler Walker '22 (Cambridge, Ohio), and Parliamentarian Anna-Claire Myers '21 (Marietta, Ohio).

The SGA Class Representatives for 2019-20 are:

  • Seniors: Matthew Chih '20 (Worthington, Ohio), Michael Doran '20 (Granville, Ohio), Lauren Eakle '20 (Whipple, Ohio), and Madeline Holbrook '20 (Lancaster, Ohio).
  • Juniors: Brecklin Baker '21 (Nashport, Ohio), Patrick Elliott '21 (Marietta, Ohio), Kelsey Hall '21 (Reno, Ohio), and Patrick Taylor '21 (Columbus, Ohio).
  • Sophomores: Alexander Blackston '22 (Lancaster, Ohio), Shea Goss '22 (Lancaster, Ohio), Abbie Leslie '22 (Lancaster, Ohio), and Taiylor Williamson '22 (New Concord, Ohio).

SGA's mission is to advocate for students and foster positive change on campus and be a liaison between students, faculty and the administration.

Located in Marietta, Ohio, at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers, Marietta College is a four-year liberal arts college. Tracing its roots to the Muskingum Academy back in 1797, the College was officially chartered in 1835. Today Marietta College serves a body of 1,200 full-time students. The College offers more than majors and is consistently ranked as one of the top regional comprehensive colleges by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review, as well as one of the nation's best by Forbes.com. Marietta was selected seventh in the nation according to the Brookings Institution's rankings of colleges by their highest value added, regardless of major.
