The new Student Government Executive Board for the 2023–24 academic year was officially sworn into office during a ceremony held in Calvin Durand Hall.

“The outgoing Student Government Executive Board is excited to assist the new members as they transition into their roles,” Blindauer said in an April 19 email to all students. The Swearing-in Ceremony took place on April 27.
