JP: What made you want to run for Student Body President?

Morgan Weaver

MW: I got to see the job when I got involved in student life on YAC. It was cool to see their passion for what they do and it really appealed to me. When I checked my motivations, I didn’t want to do it to for a resume builder. I just wanted to do it for the job. I feel equipped and it’s something I’ll enjoy. I’m excited about it.

JP: What are some plans you have for next year as Student Body President?

MW: We’re going to have one morning every week that I can meet with students over coffee – free coffee – where they can come and share their ideas. I’m going to be intentional and ask lots of questions. It’s probably what I’m most excited about.

JP: What is the main goal you'll be working toward next year? 

MW: I want to listen and see in what ways I can get involved in students’ lives and create open lines of communication. It's not something that just happens; you have to be intentional about it. I want to see this school grow.

JP: How has being at LeTourneau shaped you as a person?

MW: When I graduated high school, I originally wanted to go to a big state school, but God brought me to a small, private Christian school, and I’ve been humbled a lot. I’ve learned about how strong Christian community can be and just how much I’ve needed to learn and grow before I go out into the secular world. I’ve also learned that ministry is wherever you are.

Stay tuned next year to learn more about the work Student Government will be doing!
