“This election was a positive shift in the right direction for the Student Government Association and the UHD student body,” said Eugene Bernard,  Director of Student Life. “We were excited to see the positive response from students interested in running for office during this election cycle, and we are eager to see how the new SGA will advocate and empower the UHD community and student body.”
