Spring comes in waves, through changes in weather, landscaping, and attitudes. Campus politics are no different, with these changes coming in the form of Student Government Association (SGA) elections. Dante Webb and Carson England have made their bid as candidates for student body president and vice president, running on a platform to “educate, equip and empower.”
Both candidates are junior aviation majors at EKU with concentrations in aerospace management, and involvement with SGA and Greek Life.
Webb currently serves as the SGA director of diversity and inclusion, vice president of the Multicultural Greek Council, and member of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity.
England, a student worker for Student Life, is also the diversity, equity, and inclusion officer for the Interfraternal Council and the leadership development chair for Sigma Nu Fraternity.
“Me and Carson have worked together in a variety of different ways whether that be in the classroom, student government一as he’s a current senator一and now with Greek Life that I’m a part of, I have worked with him, in different philanthropies and different events or like our, both fraternities,” said Webb.
England and Webb have known each other since their freshman year. Webb initially proposed the idea of candidacy to England.
“We’ve been on the same page for everything. When he gave me the first call, I had no clue what it was going to be about. And then from there on, it’s like, no doubt in my mind, like we’ve been perfect together and it’s been really well,” said England.
