NICEVILLE — This year's Northwest Florida State College Student Government Association is the largest in more than five years.
Twenty-seven students stepped forward to be leaders; it's almost twice as many as in a typical year.
The larger the SGA indicates an overall increase in student activity, according to Student Life Director Aimee Watts.
"Student involvement at Northwest Florida State College is at an all-time high," Watts said.
SGA officers are Rachel Gilroy (Freeport), president; Jessica Kim (Niceville), vice president; Ray Bolen (DeFuniak Springs), president pro tempore; Bethany Fralish (Niceville), secretary; Angela Roy (Destin), community service coordinator; Sally Yang (Crestview), sergeant at arms; and Veronica Quesenberry (Niceville), historian.
Senators are Kirsten Dawson (Niceville), Sebastian Dijkhuizen (Niceville), Sean Giovanniello (Crestview), Drew Hannah (Navarre), Emma Heasley (Navarre), Brandon James (Shalimar), Stefan Makarov (Niceville), Eddell Molina (Crestview), Nicholas Parmer (Miramar Beach), Frank Poli (Fort Walton Beach), Chase Pridgen (Destin), Shanelle Reese (Crestview), Anthony Riviello (Niceville), Trey Schultz (Crestview), Rani Simmons (Freeport), Joshua Tapp (Valparaiso), Alijah Veneszee (Fort Walton Beach), Joe Wilmoth (DeFuniak Springs), Zach Zedicher (Niceville), and Collin Zeigler (Mary Esther).
