The Student Government Association executive board at the University of South Alabama has been elected for the 2022-2023 academic year.

Camille Bonura, a junior hospitality and tourism management major, will serve as SGA president.  Some of her key focuses from her platform will be partnering with local restaurants to provide discounts and strengthening the connection between the Mobile business community and South Alabama. She also wants to advocate an open office hour for students to meet with President Jo Bonner and host more events with the USA Police Department. 

Olivia Martin, a junior majoring in history, was elected vice president; Allison Reed, a junior majoring in criminal justice, was elected to treasurer; Maiben Mitchell, a sophomore majoring in criminal justice and political science, will serve as chief justice; Amya Douglas, a sophomore majoring in digital cinema and television, will serve as attorney general; and Ansley Majewski, a junior majoring in recreational therapy, will serve as a student-at-large.
