Senior Lee Brooks is officially the new president of the Student Government Association.
Brooks, previously the vice president of academic affairs, received 2,353 votes, amounting to 50.876 percent of the turnout. Competitor Ilk Ghavami, senator for the college of math and science, received 2,272 votes, or 49.124 percent of turnout.
"It's been one hell of a week," Brooks said.
Brooks will officially be sworn in on Tuesday, but plans to go to an executive SGA meeting tomorrow in hopes of getting the organization back on track.
"First on the agenda is to get the organization on the same page," he said. "If we're not on the same page we can't make progress."
Part of the way Brooks hopes to make progress is by getting the SGA working on a student published pamphlet called "So you think this is a party school: 50 things to do at JMU besides drinking and partying," one of the main platforms he ran on. Brooks has started looking into grant funding for the pamphlet, which would be available to prospective students and their families.
