Incoming Vice President, Corey Pevitz shared a statement about what to expect from the Scots Student Senate in upcoming years:

“It is an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to serve as the Vice President. I see Scot's Student Senate as an untapped potential for change to promote the upward trajectory of campus. As Vice President, I will not serve at the pleasure of the President, but rather at the needs of the students. The Senate has a vital role in advocating for the student body, and I am looking forward to serving as the bridge between the students and faculty.

My main focuses for this coming year are concerns I have heard throughout campus; these include mental health, safety, and transparency from the faculty and staff. This is by no means an exhaustive list; college life ebbs and flows, so it is tantamount that the Senate retains an accurate picture of the campus' needs.

With President Clarence Wyatt announcing his retirement, this is a time of great transition for Monmouth. I hope to make a difference in building a strong foundation for the next generation of students. It is an honor to serve the Scot's Student Senate, the student body, and the Monmouth community.”
