Some final presidential remarks - Guest Column
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter guest column covers outgoing Student Council President Atin Agarwal’s account of the council’s work and his hopes for the university.
- The article says Agarwal reported that the council developed secure online voting, organized a comedy event and helped sponsor a VH1 event, which he said were successful.
- The paper reported that Agarwal said the council did not complete its planned website, Spring Fair food-vendor program or marketing work.
- The article adds that Agarwal described student dissatisfaction with Hopkins and quoted Aaron Sorkin: "Defeats are softened and victories sweetened because we did them together."
- The reporter writes that Agarwal expressed support for next year’s president, Laura Hansell, and said students’ connection to Student Council was the main measure of its success.
