The goals of this year's administration are as follows: increase student involvement in Pre-Alumni, promote an open dialogue between the student body organizations and Pre-Alumni, create positive interaction between students of all schools, and improve student facilities. We believe that if students in each of the schools were able to take a more individual role in their student government than not only would participation in events sponsored by the Pre-Alumni Association increase, but also participation in events sponsored by other student organizations would increase. Our approach to addressing these goals is two fold:

First, we plan to work closely with other student leaders on campus to involve all students in Pre-Alumni activities and the decision making process.
Second, we plan to utilize the student life committee and work actively with faculty and staff to address student concerns.
