his year the Student Government Association has excelled in many areas: Scholastically, Legislatively and Tproductively. As an SGA we have expanded our facilities to include a conference room, computer laboratory, and a lager office area. The SGA has worked with administrators, Remember: faculty, staff, and the student body to enhance the "students first" concept at William Paterson College.

he SGA has passed two major pieces of college-wide legis Tlation including the upcoming "common hour" and the removal of freshman resident parking. This year has provided us other opportunities internally as well. The next SGA college wide elections will require higher GPA requirements for stu dent leaders, it will provide more accountability of student leaders to the campus community, and it will enhance the role of the SGA in college wide decisions.

he SGA continues to provide free legal services, a pre Tscription plan, a sexual health clinic, and a notary public. We have funded events in African Heritage Month, Puerto Rican Heritage Month, Latin American Week as well as the Chinese New Year and various other ethnic and social events. The SGA has done and continues to do it's part in promoting diversity at William Paterson College.

n closing, on behalf of the Executive Board members and Imyself, it has been a pleasure serving the students of William Paterson College. We request that the student body support the upcoming Executive Board and Legislature so that together you'll continue the traditions the SGA has set forth. I wish the best of luck to all of you in the exam time and for the future. Sincerely,
