Dear Dr. Knapp:

I wanted to take a second to introduce myself to you. My name is Bart Newman. I am the newly elected SGA President. I am looking forward to discussing with you the different issues concerning Student Government and the University of Georgia for the upcoming year.

I have enclosed the SGA resolution and the President's Council letter supporting the recognition of Memorial Day as an official holiday for the University of Georgia. We look forward to working with you on this issue.

Furthermore, I want to thank you for recognizing SGA as the voice of the student on this campus. If students and other administrators know that you look to SGA to gauge student opinion, then maybe these people will do the same.

I think that we would both agree that a strong Student Government only makes this University better an endorsement by the President of the Unviersity gives Student Government the clout it needs to garner student interest and respect.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Bart Newman
