In an attempt to shed light on people who lead colleges and universities throughout the country, we have reached the courtyard to Vitelville State and an interview with Johnae Walker, President of the Student Government Association 2024-2025.
The position of SGA president is a great respect, and there is a special pride in their election by their peers to lead. Johnae Walker, who specializes in living biology, from Charlotte, North Carolina, is a pride in the spring of 2023 from the Sigma Theta Delta.
We met Johnae Walker and talked to her about her position, goals and future and what it means to occupy this type of leadership in 2024-2025.
Read the full interview below.
What is the biggest thing you learned as SGA president so far?
One of the biggest lessons that I learned is how to delegate my team, confidence in my team, and always give my health. I have always been very independent and do not like to seek help, but I had to realize that I could not do everything on my own. It was not easy to learn it, but I teach me to share the work burden and confidence in my team to help us reach our goals as an administration. At the present time, I feel the face of SGA president, and I work part -time training, and I work as the vice -president of the class, keep pace with school work, and apply to the graduate school. I always have strong time management skills, but this year I taught me the importance of determining my health priorities even when I became very busy. Driving is a large part of who I am, but I understood that my physical and mental well -being should come first because I cannot effectively perform if I don’t take care of myself.
What made you decide to attend the Vitelville State University for university students?
It decided to attend the State of Finfelle State because of its environment directed towards the family, the ability to bear costs, growth opportunities, and the strong participation of students. FSU is really home away from home, because everyone I met made me feel welcome and supported. The ability to withstand the costs in FSU was a great cloud for me, as I offered a high -quality education at a cost that allowed me to focus on my studies without constantly worried about financial pressure. With the fact that FSU is a smaller institution, it was the perfect place to develop professionally and academically. The strong feeling of students’ participation was the other main reason I chose in FSU because it was clear that faculty, employees and administration were devoted to keeping the participating students and forming a positive community.
How did Vitelville State take you to the person you are today?
Vitville State University formed me in countless ways. The faculty, employees and administration are constantly highlighting the best in me. They are investing their time and knowledge of the cultivation of strong and influential students ’leaders. One of the most influential experiments was the declines of student leadership, as we enhance our programs, develop new skills, and engage in self -thinking. Upon reaching the college, you are shy, introverted, and cautious. However, through the support and opportunities provided by FSU, I have grown to be an ambitious and adventurous leader ready to face new challenges and trust.
What are the specific initiatives that you went to this year (or planning), and how do you think it will improve the school and the surrounding community?
I was devoted to creating initiatives that enable students, enhance our society and provide significant opportunities for growth and participation. Tuesday’s advice is part of SGA Instagram, where we share a quick and practical advice to help students move in university life. I was also working on civil participation, as it helped organize the marches to the polls to ensure that students have the opportunity and encouragement to vote during the election season. In February 2025, we launch the Bronco Business Challenge challenge, an initiative that aims to encourage students to wear more professional clothes on campus. Our goal is to show how clothing can enhance confidence and open the doors for success, whether in college or beyond. Also, I am with cooperating with a faculty member to create an initiative targeting dignitaries. While there are many programs for first year students, we have realized that young and the elderly need more support as well. The initiative will ensure that it continues to obtain resources, guidance, and the space you feel and support while working for graduation. These initiatives are designed to help students grow, with younger students inspiring in our society to follow their dreams.
How does your SGA management/school currently attend the mental health of students?
Our school really cares about students on mental, emotional and physical health. SGA always shares information about mental health resources and makes sure students know where they go if they need help. We have a consultant and personal development center that provides a variety of services, and even there is the Bronco Whole Mind resort where students can go to relax and recharge. SGA is also partnership with organizations within these departments to host events that help increase awareness and educate students about caring for their well -being. The college can be a lot of confusion, so we always make sure that students know that they can rely on their Bronco family to get support whenever they need them.
What does driving mean to you?
Driving for me means to be an advocate, empowering others, and building a legacy. This also means taking the initiative to create change and leadership with example. The UPLIFT administration administration is called inspired by my campaign focused on guidance, leadership and fellowship. With these columns, they planned to build communications, enhance driving development, and direct students towards graduation. My concentration has always been to create a supportive environment as students feel enabled to grow and succeed.
We are now living in a digital world, what do you think of schools that you should do to represent themselves online in 2025?
Schools themselves across the Internet with an interesting and attractive content. One of the things that attracted me to Vitelville is the extent of their activity on social media. They always made Tiktok or went to contact potential students. Make the school feel welcoming and exciting. Social media is a powerful tool to use to increase enrollment, and schools must fully benefit to reach students in a way that feels originally and associated.
Why do you think watching the courtyard is important for black students and the culture of the kidney?
Watch the annihilation is important because it highlights the black distinction and the effect of HBCUS. I have been watching the courtyard since 2019, when I was in high school. I always knew that I wanted to attend HBCU, so I made the priority to follow the platforms that celebrate our superiority. Besides highlighting the life of students, Watch The Yard also emphasizes the nine Divine organizations and their members who make a difference in their fields and societies. As a person who loves HBCU culture, I appreciate the way the annihilation has seen raising our society and maintains the legacy of black leadership, scholarships and success.
What do you plan to do after graduation?
After graduation, I follow a master’s degree in public health with a focus on epidemics. I have chosen this path because I am excited to increase representation in public health and treat chronic diseases that affect the representative societies. My goal is to make a change by educating society, pressing for new research, and calling for better health strategies to create a permanent change.
