Senior Class President
With much of the senior class living off campus and commuting to classes, Scott Cowie wants to make the senior class a presence on campus this year. He hopes to host multiple networking nights to help bridge the gap between current students and alumni to help build networks for post-graduation. “The best way to really connect and find job opportunities is through your peers and friends,” Cowie said. Seniors can look forward to their town hall event on Oct. 16 where they can pick up their class sweatshirt.

Fisher urges students to speak with him if they have any questions or comments regarding what the junior class wants.

Thus far, Karlton Spencer likes the formality and organization of the SGA meetings at Pepperdine. “I’m definitely looking forward to helping the clubs get what they want out of SGA in regards to their funding and everything.” Spencer is especially excited for Blue and Orange Madness during Waves Weekend.
