Sitting in front of the James C. Bolton library at LSU at Alexandria after having been elected by my fellow LSU System Student Body Presidents to represent them on the LSU System Board of Supervisors. In order to be elected to serve on the board a Student Body president must receive the majority of votes cast in a system election. I had two opponents, the LSU Law Center Student Bar Association President and the UNO Student Body President. I was elected to the board by a 6 to 2 vote.
