SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - Dallas Kline, a Slippery Rock University senior sport management major from Spring Grove, was elected president of the Slippery Rock Student Government Association, Inc. Kline, who ran unopposed for the post, will replace one-year incumbent Rachel Lawler, who is graduating in May.

"I'm so excited and ready to get rolling," said Kline. "It's an honor to represent and serve the students of this University. My love for SRU has grown each year that I've been on this campus. To be elected SGA president is really a culmination of my three years of involvement with the organization having started out as a senator. It's very humbling."

Kline said that during her time in office, she's hopes to work closely with University administration and help foster positive change for SRU students present and future.

Kline, who spent the 2017-18 academic year as the SGA's vice president of campus outreach, and her SGA counterparts will be considering a number of issues in the coming academic year including the possible restructuring of the SGA senate from a building-based position to a college-based position; studying issues concerning student safety and well-being; working closely with University administrators in conducting additional and more extensive emergency drills; and what SGA can do to aid in the growth of SRU's Counseling Center and the services it provides.
