This Friday’s News at 6 interviewed Justin Hollimon, candidate for SA President. Hollimon believes that the key to being student body president is “to reshift the focus [of the SA] to advocacy.” He wants to make the organization more transparent, while working on practical issues that will impact students, like an improved dining plan.

Hollimon is a junior from Baltimore majoring in history. He’s been involved in leadership roles on campus as the president of the science village his freshman year and as the president of Mitchell Hall his sophomore year.
