We met Shafon and talked to her about her position, goals, 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?
Get up. This is the most important thing I learned. SGA can sometimes become very political, so it is important to stay on. Opinions can often play a big role in how to see our leadership. It allows us to be confident in any effect that makes it big or small.
What made you decide to join Hampton University for university students?
Hampton University maintains a piece of rich history with legendary sites such as the liberation of oak and the university museum. Aside from this, our campus has stunning views such as the waterfront on the campus. Hampton also emphasizes the academic excellence that applies to our academic achievements.
How did Hampton University formed the person you are today?
Hampton formed the person I am today by pushing his students to go further. Hampton maintains a long legacy of leadership and development of excellence among her students.
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?
Our main goal was SGA. The priority of departments 79 is to serve as an advocate between the Student and Administration Authority. Our priorities this year also include transparency, fairness and vitality to our university campus. This is done through the targeted initiatives and participation in social campus.
How does your SGA management/school currently attend the mental health of students?
Our university continues to invest in the welfare of our students. Hampton has care: the centuries of wellness provided by Taragi B. Our administration continues to provide programming for students to attend, such as “Wellness Weekend” with yoga, Zumba and Journaling. We also continue to defend mental health days in our university calendar.
What does driving mean to you?
Driving means analyzing what is the error in standing to make a change of what is true.
We are now living in a digital world, what do you think of schools that you should do to represent themselves online in 2025?
I would like to listen to students. With the majority of universities with a Zil Z student, the student will play a major role in making notes on the best ways to represent themselves online.
Why do you think watching the courtyard is important for black students and the culture of the kidney?
Watch the courtyard as a center for a group of black. From politics, Greek life, and history, the courtyard covers our stories.
What do you plan to do after graduation?
After graduation, I plan to follow a master’s degree in social policy, public affairs or administration. When obtaining a master’s degree, I hope to work in the non -profit or public sector, and to follow a job that focuses on the participation of society and the call.
We would like to dissuade Shavon Heinz Foster for her work as President of Hampton University at Hampton University.
