Members of the Associated Student Body Senate and Cabinet will participate in an SEC Exchange at the University of Missouri Jan. 24 to Jan. 26.

ASB President Gregory Alston, Vice President Morgan Gregory, President Pro Tempore Emerson George, and Cabinet members William Fowler and Scott Wallace will attend the conference. The Exchange is an annual event that hosts student government leaders from each SEC school to discuss ideas and recent projects that can serve as suggestions for participants from other schools.

Alston said he sees the conference as an opportunity to hear from leaders at other schools as well as present projects the ASB has created this year.

“We will be giving a presentation of the initiatives that we have worked on while we have been in office including Creed Week and Everybody’s Tent,” Alston said.

Alston said he wants to apply what he and the other ASB leaders will learn at the Exchange to future ASB projects.

“A really great thing about SEC Exchange is that we can hear what other schools are doing and bring those ideas back to our school,” he said. “I am really looking forward to SEC Exchange, and I am happy that we have the opportunity to participate in it.”
