UMass SGA

Hey everyone! My name is Garrett Gowen and I will be serving as the SGA Vice President for the 2012-2013 year. I am a senior History and Political Science major, and I have previously served as Orchard Hill Area Governor, two term Orchard Hill Senator and Chair of the Finance Committee.

My vision for the year revolves around two words: communication and collaboration. To these ends, I am seeking to open up the channels of communication within SGA, between the agencies and subsidiary organizations, and without, through increased communication with constituents and the administration. I find that we are at our most successful when we build a collaborative team, a broad coalition through which we can marshal greater resources than we could on our own. It is my hope that this will become standard practice for future SGAs and Vice Presidents.

I am also an avid Meryl Streep fan, and I enjoy reading and spending time with my friends and family. You can find me most days in the SGA office at my desk (the one with the Star Wars toys on it). I will post my office hours when they come up.
