Eddie Arnold '21
SGA President / Business major
Why are you passionate about your position?
Hearing the voices of the students and what they see best fit for the school is my top priority. My goal is to be open and transparent with any ideas and allow the students to prosper as they see fit. No student is the same and we must embrace the diversity on this campus. We all come from different backgrounds, places, and have many different majors, but we all strive to succeed at our time here at Mount Saint Mary College. I want to leave Mount Saint Mary College knowing that our classes and future graduating classes will be left better off than they were.
