The Student Government Association (SGA) at Texas Tech announced the results of its 2025 election during a live stream on Thursday. Crispus Ankomah won the contested race for graduate vice president, while Faith Geistweidt was elected as the student’s body president without opposition.
Geistweidt’s main goal is to foster transparency between SGA and the student body, utilizing social media for effective communication. She emphasized the importance of informing students about ongoing initiatives by SGA, stating, “Being able to tell students what Student Government Association is doing is really important for students to know.”
With concerns surrounding senator retention, new Internal Vice President Madeline Clark plans to prioritize transparency and retention within the student senate. Possible incentives for senators may include early class registration and scholarships to motivate engagement.
“At the end of the day, if students don’t know about a senator’s efforts, they are unaware of SGA’s impact on their lives,” Geistweidt remarked. The 61st session officially begins on May 1, with the following executive positions confirmed: Jackson Bentley as External Vice President, and Madeline Clark as Internal Vice President.
The newly elected Senators include a diverse group from various colleges. Noteworthy slots among At-Large Senators are Delaney Saunders and Tabor Christianelli, while disciplines range across Agricultural Sciences, Architecture, Arts & Sciences, and more. For instance, the Graduate School elects Prince Ozioma Emmanuel and Scarlett Gott, stepping into essential roles for their respective constituencies.
The Texas Tech SGA 2025 election has resulted in the election of key figures committed to improving transparency and student engagement. With strategies aimed at increasing awareness and retention of senators, the new leadership is poised to make a significant impact on campus life. The diverse range of elected senators reflects the university’s commitment to representation across various disciplines.
