I am a Junior corporate security major here at Slippery Rock University. As a student at SRU, I joined the Student Government as a Freshman senator and then was the vice president of internal affairs my sophomore year. Currently, I am the President of the SGA which opened up the opportunity for me to apply for the Board of Governors pf the PASSHE system. After being approved by Governor Wolf and confirmed by the Pennsylvania Senate, I am an official member of the Board of Governors. Outside of SGA, I am apart of the Honors college, and have had experience eon the Security Studies Club E-board as the parliamentarian.
As president of the SGA, I have the opportunity to serve as the CEO of the SRSGA Inc. Board of Directors. With the role of CEO, I communicate to the Board what Senate has been working on and strives to accomplish throughout the academic year. I also serve on the Human Resources committee within the Board of Directors.

Riley Keffer
Student At-Large
rxk1012@sru.edu
I am currently a graduate student in MA, Student Affairs in Higher Education and MBA, Accounting & Finance programs. My undergraduate education was at Slippery Rock University and I was involved in the following roles: V.P. of Finance, SRSGA; Commuter Senator, SRSGA; Founder of Zeta Alpha Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity; CORE Street Team; University Program Board; and internships with the Women's Center & Pride Center and Conference & Event Services. As a graduate student, I have completed internships at the University of Michigan and Kent State University while serving as the Graduate Assistant for Alumni Engagement. My career has driven me to pursue a job in institutional research and assessment, so I have added three research studies and several assessment projects to my experience here at SRU. Lastly, I have been involved in a number of areas in graduate school including: student conduct, President's commission on wellness, Theta Chi Chapter Adviser, National Association
of Student Personnel Administrators, American CollegePersonnel Association,
and Career Education & Development. Most importantly though, I serve on the SRSGA, Inc. Board of Directors as a Student-at-Large.
I first joined SGA as a way to get involved on campus. This organization was transformative for me as an upcoming professional as I learned how to operate a business and lead initiatives. I continue to serve on the SRSGA Board to advocate for students and make decisions for the benefit of students. I firmly believe in a student-centered or student-first approach when it comes to higher education and do my best to advocate for students when voting.
