Melody Hawkins, President

Melody Hawkins
President

Hello everyone, my name is Melody Hawkins. I am a social work major, and I am currently serving as president of SGA. This position has been a very positive experience for me because it has allowed me to create long-lasting relationships with students and staff. There are also other academic and extracurricular activities at Walters State in which I am involved, such as being Phi Theta Kappa's vice president for East Tennessee, vice president of leadership at Walters State, and vice president of the Senators Central Navigators. Involvement is something I always advocate for because it leads to making new connections and creates an opportunity to give everyone a voice.
