“You are not what you say you cannot be!” This quote is the motto of the newly elected Senate President Pro-Tempore, Naadira Renfroe. Born and raised in Macon, GA, Naadira is currently a third year Anthropology major, minoring in African American Studies. After graduation, she hopes to attend law school.

 

During her tenure in senate chambers, Naadira has strived to be an active member of the campus community. She created an initiative called “Senate 1001.” Under this initiative, she revised the Guide to Statutes, wrote an informative bill writing brochure, ‘Legislation Writing for Dummies,” and launched the first ever Senate Shadow Day. She originated the idea of the “State of the District Address” which later evolved into open town hall forums which were led by various senators in an effort to open the lines of communication between senators and their constituents.

 

Naadira’s efforts to improve student life sparked research which would upgrade the Student Government Computer Lab and allow it to be utilized by more students. The Student Government Computer Lab is the most utilized service provided by SG. After surveying students and hearing their concerns, she proposed a $300,000 project which would expand this service.

 

Naadira has served as Member-at-Large for the Replacement & Agenda Committee, Chairwoman of Student Outreach and Resources Committee, Vice-Chair of the Information and Communication Committee and Vice-Chair of the Budget & Appropriations Committee. She is an active member of the Black Student Union and the co-founder and treasurer of a new service organization, SWAGG (Serving While Advocating for the Greater Good).

 

Naadira is only optimistic about the future and she would like to challenge you to join her in ensuring that the student senate is working for the students.
