April 9-12 and will serve as SGA
president for the 2001-2002
school year.
"I know SGA and the process-

said.
Moreno's work with SGA
ranges from workstudy her •

Moreno has many changes .
and improvements for this uni-
versity in mind. She plans to
make SGA into more of an
organization.
She says she hopes to create
more cohesion among SGA
members and the campus com-
munity because "not everybody
knows everybody."
Her main concerns are bring-
ing back the Snake Shake event
which would be held annually
for newly elected SGA officers
and students to have the oppor-
tunity to interact and become
familiar with one another.
Moreno also aspires to increase
school spirit.
"This is a challenge that needs
to be addressed every year," she
said.
Moreno supports the propos-

dent Gabriel Sanchez to turn the .
poster room into a work room
for campus organizations.
Glowacki said he will use the
next six months to familiarize
