Student Body President Christina Bonarrigo and her administration — Vice President Joselyn Rivas and Treasurer Jayce Victor — celebrated 100 days in office last week.
“They’ve been amazing,” Bonarrigo said. “We’ve had great results, and we’ve gotten a lot accomplished this summer so far.”
Bonarrigo said she’s been focusing on Student Government’s increased transparency and accountability. She maintains a blog, www.studentbodyprezuf.blogspot.com, and a Twitter account, @UF_SBPrez.
Bonarrigo has also been hosting lunch events. About 50 students came to the first one, and about 150 people came to the second.
“We’re really making sure that students see what their elected officials are doing,” she said.
Rivas echoed that sentiment. She said the cabinets will host multiple events during the Fall so they’re visible on campus, and she hopes students will attend.
In addition, Rivas said she’s overseen the creation of three new cabinets — Veterans Affairs, Interfaith Affairs and Innovation Academy Affairs — to better serve the student population.
Victor was unavailable for comment, but Bonarrigo said he’s been working on the DocuTraq activity request system so it’s easier to use.
In the next 100 days, Bonarrigo and her administration will work on finding funding for Newell Hall’s renovation and developing a blue light mobile app.
