SUNY Potsdam

Ryan Williams
SGA President

My name is Ryan Williams and I am your Student Government Association President for the 2012 - 2013 academic year. I am a super-senior Politics major with a minor in Pre-Law. I come from the town of Queensbury, which is apart of the greater Glens Falls area.

I am committed to helping out the students here at SUNY Potsdam, which is why I moved up from the SGA Vice President position to be the President. I want to advocate for the student on this campus and help out with any situations and resolve any problems that the students may have. I am committed to taking the student opinion and relaying to the administrative faculty and staff on the SUNY Potsdam campus. I am also a resource for helping out students on campus, whether it be from how to start a new club to finding specific information about the SUNY system.

Stop on by the SGA office to ask me any questions or to schedule an appointment. I can be reached at sgapres@potsdam.edu, or by phone (315) 267-3285.

Hello!  My name is Sara Behuniak and I am the Vice President of the Student Government Association.  I am an Environmental Studies and Politics double major.  I have been involved in the Potsdam community for the past 2 years in both clubs and athletics.  I joined SGA to help students and organizations at Potsdam have more of a voice and to help improve the Potsdam campus. 

SGA is a great way to get involved and to have your voice heard.  By joining the Senate or Assembly any student is able to help make a difference.  If you have any questions please feel free to stop by the SGA office (Barrington 213) or send me an e-mail at sgavp@potsdam.edu.  I’m here to help!

Marcus Frisbee
SGA Treasurer

Hello, my name is Marcus Frisbee and I am Student Government Association Treasurer for the 2012-2013 school year. I am a Junior double major in History and Secondary Education for Social Studies. I absolutely love SUNY Potsdam and it is a great honor to be a part of such an active organization here.

SGA is an important resource for the SUNY student body. Not only does it serve as a voice for the students, but the SGA and all of its various organizations give the students a great range of activities to enhance their college experience to the fullest. Whether it's SES, Math Alliance, CLASS, Frisbee club, or any of the rest of the over 50 student groups under SGA's banner, you as a student always have options to try something new.

If you have any questions about SGA; what we do, how we do it, or anything at all, feel free to stop by the office (Barrington 213) or e-mail me at sgatres@potsdam.edu.

Zach Slocum
Comptroller

Hello folks, I am Zachary Slocum, your SGA Comptroller and a History Education major as well as all around cool guy. I am also an active member of the MMA Club here on campus.

The Student Government Association greatly benefits, well, us students. It gives us a voice as well as funding for clubs, and I can't quite imagine anyone who would dislike that. SGA allows many great opportunities for the students and, therefore, I would recommend everyone join SGA. Participate in a club, join the Senate or Assembly, you could even start your own club if you'd like. Find some way to get involved. The purpose of SGA is to benefit you, the students.

All are more than welcome to stop by the SGA office in the Barrington Student Union. You can also email me any questions you may have. My email is sgacomp@potsdam.edu.

Hi, my name is Kerrian Ferguson and I am your new SGA secretary. I’m a freshman and my major is Psychology, soon to double major in Sociology and minor in criminal justice. I am from the Bronx, which seems like is on the other side of the world compared to Potsdam. I am a very energetic, outgoing, and hardworking person. Outside of SGA and classes, I like to just relax, hang with friends, and go out in my spare time.
 
Considering that I’m still fresh in the school, I think it’s very important for every student to be involved. SGA is a very important part of SUNY Potsdam. It plays as the head of all clubs and organizations on campus. Each club and organization symbolizes the diversity on campus and gives each student a chance to be a part of something they are passionate about and is able to show the campus a little part of them through their involvement.  Part of Psychology is being able to understand people, and when you understand you’re able to help. I hope to listen to any concerns that my peers may have and try to make a difference. The decisions of SGA doesn’t only affect students in clubs and organizations, it affects the whole campus.
