Dewey Denning, student body president and a senior integrated studies major from Iona, Idaho, said being student body president requires a lot of work. There are several different responsibilities the president has. Denning's main responsibilities include being a voting member of the board of trustees, which is the highest governing body at DSC. Denning is also on the academic council, is a member of the Utah student association, chairs the fee allocation committee, and chairs the student executive council.
"Being on the [student executive] council means I oversee and help out and give ideas to every branch of student government," Denning said.
Denning's other main responsibility is acting as a liaison between students and the administration.
Nate Jensen, student body vice president and a senior communication major from Willard, is the chair of the elections committee. His other main responsibilities include being the chair of the student senate council, as well as being a member of the curriculum committee and the academic council. Jensen is also in charge of organizing the Student of the Semester banquets, the Discover Dixie's Degrees events, and Political Awareness Week.
All of these responsibilities will be just some of the things the next president and vice president will have to do next year.
The mandatory meetings for those interested in running for student body president and vice president were last week. However, if students are still interested, Jensen said they can come to the student government room in the Gardner Center and plead their case as to why they weren't at one of the meetings.
