President
Grace DeWitt
Hey Zips! My name is Grace DeWitt, and I’m the Student Body President this year! I’m a fourth-year student with a Political Science Major, Global Studies Major, Pre-Law Philosophy Minor, and an International Business Certificate. I’m going into my fourth year as a USG member, and I’ve had the privilege of being involved in various organizations such as the Emerging Leaders Program, Honors/Orr Hall Government, Residence Hall Program Board (RHPB), Pre-Law Society, Women in Business, and more. I look forward to advocating for students this year! Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions/comments/concerns about USG or campus in general. Go Zips!
