Sam McCaffrey
SGA President

Hello, my name is Sam McCaffrey and I have the honor of being your Student Government Association President. I’m an English Literature and Politics double major. I’m also a Resident Assistant in Lehman South.

I implore all students to get involved. SGA is a great organization. It gives students a voice and allocates the funds for most student organizations & programs. SGA rocks because it gives everyone the opportunity to help make our campus a better place. It aims to create programs for students to enjoy and to make our time in Potsdam an enjoyable one.

Everyone interested in SGA or the clubs, programs & services we facilitate should contact us to learn more. You can send us an email, stop by our offices on the second floor of the Barrington Student Union, or give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello to all! My name is Ryan Williams and I am the Vice President of the Student Government Association. I am a Music Education major and I have been heavily involved with the SUNY Potsdam community since I was a freshman. The main reason why I chose to become the Vice President is because I want to help out the students, the clubs/organizations, and to try to make the college experience better for you! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to stop by the SGA Office (Barrington 213) during my office hours, or shoot me an e-mail. My main purpose is to be here for you!

Dan Scott
SGA Treasurer

Hello all, my name is Dan Scott and I am a senior Business Administration major and I have been actively involved in Frisbee Club since freshman year and in Student Government Association (SGA) for the past 3 years. I was elected to serve the students as Comptroller last year and am currently serving the student body as Treasurer to end my time in Potsdam. My time at SUNY Potsdam has been very enjoyable because I have found things to do that are important to me. I think SGA is a great tool for students to get involved on campus by offering many different clubs and organizations as well as services, such as Legal Aid and the Intramural program. SGA is special in that it is student run and completely about the students. Consider joining SGA and becoming either a Senator or Assembly person, it is a great way to represent your fellow students. If you have any questions about how to get involved, financial matters or any general questions, please e-mail me at sgatres@potsdam.edu or stop by the SGA office and I'd be glad to help.

Marcus Frisbee
Comptroller

I’m Marcus Frisbee and I’m the Comptroller for the S.G.A. here at SUNY Potsdam.  I plan on earning a degree in History, and in my spare time I like to watch movies and play Ultimate Frisbee with SUNY Potsdam’s Frisbee Club, the Potsdam Perfect Storm.

S.G.A. is a great part of our school. It serves not only as a voice for the students, but it also sponsors many of the student activities and programs here on campus.  Since S.G.A. is student run, everything that we do is done with the students’ best interests in mind.  If you’re interested in being a part of S.G.A., stop by our office in the Student Union.

Hi, I am Carolina Batista and I am the SGA secretary. My major is Theatre, and I plan on having a minor in Business Administration. My ultimate plan is to become a director for TV and video productions.

Being the SGA secretary is a great opportunity to connect with students who are involved in the many organizations of SUNY Potsdam, and it makes me very pleased to listen to the concerns and needs of my peers. Knowing that SGA is a connection between students and their activities is enough of a reason for me to continue being involved in SUNY Potsdam’s student government.
