"Everything Just Say Hey & SGA"

Auburn’s Hey Day is more than just a campus tradition — it’s a timeless greeting that’s been passed down for generations.

“Hey Day is such a cool event,” said Owen Beaverstock, Auburn’s Student Government Association (SGA) president. “It’s the first thing I volunteered for when I was a freshman.”

The annual Hey Day event began in 1947 to welcome back World War II soldiers, when the SGA pushed for a day to unite campus. Nearly 80 years later, it has grown into a beloved custom of handing out nametags and encouraging everyone to say “hey” to each other.

“I love talking to strangers,” joked Parman. “You’re engaging in real conversation that reinforces the values of the Auburn Family." 

The 78th Hey Day will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 15, and will include live music, food, t-shirts, and a Social at Hey Day Market.

Parham said it’s a simple concept that can have a big impact.

“You could be the only one who speaks to that person this week or asks how their day is going,” she said.

Both Beaverstock and Parman consider it an incredible privilege to serve the student body.

Parman, a global studies major in the College of Human Sciences, said her role as 2025-26 Miss Auburn is like having a full-time job, a tradition that dates back to 1934.

“We do the ‘Empower Her’ women's leadership dinner, read to kids in schools, combat food insecurity, and engage with civic leaders,” she said.

Already in her tenure, Parman started an endowed scholarship for future Miss Auburns, and made outreach visits to the Auburn Bee Center, E.W. Fisheries Center and AU Singers. 

Like Parman, Beaverstock serves as an advocate for students, attending every Auburn Board of Trustees meeting as a non-voting member.

A double major in business and political science in the Harbert College of Business, Beaverstock was elected in February to lead SGA. Since then, funding has been secured for 10 new security shuttle drivers and 24/7 security on campus. He’s working with the City of Auburn to have a three-way traffic stop light installed at the crosswalk on Magnolia Avenue, between 320 West Mag apartments and the Ginn Concourse, to curb student pedestrian safety concerns. Most recently, trustees backed SGA’s concept to build a new, six-story, 680-bed dormitory on the Cambridge Hall property.

“We think that's a huge win for our students and a great spot, too,” he said.

Beaverstock said his advice to younger peers is to get plugged in — and early.

“One of the coolest things we do is the Expansion (EXP) Branch of SGA,” he said. “You can volunteer for Hey Day, CREED Day or football game shaker distribution. In the spring, we’ll have applications for year-round SGA roles.” 

Just like their post-war era predecessors, both Beaverstock and Parman will be leading the charge this week at Hey Day — greeting all with a spirit that is not afraid.

“It just shows the human touch that makes Auburn so special,” said Parman.

Welcome into Everything Auburn podcast. We get to speak to members the Auburn Family every single month. I'm the chronically underdressed Carter, and thank you for joining me. Today is a special day because we have not one, but two members of Auburn family and also two students here from Auburn. We have Miss Auburn, Riley Parman, and SGA President Owen Beaverstock. Welcome to the podcast, guys. Thank you for having all excited to be here. Well, so you're a seasoned podcast pro in a sense, for sure. Okay. Very cryptic. And I'm a rookie. This is my first time. All right. So all pressure is on fresh legs over here. So we'll let Riley go first. You learn. Okay, I'll watch that. Watch and learn. Absolutely. So, one to start. Just, Miss Auburn. What does it mean? What is Miss Auburn? Tell us all about it. I have never been Miss Auburn, so I don't know much. Awesome. So yes, Miss Auburn is a tradition that started in 1934, and she is technically the official hostess of Auburn University. But thankfully my friend Owen is here, so this example will make sense. When I explained it to my relatives from Kansas City, Missouri, who thought I was starting around in an evening gown, which is a real position Miss Auburn University, but it is not totally a position. Totally distinct. Not similar names at all. Not similar names at all. One more difference. But who's counting? I explain it as if Auburn were England. Okay, Owen would be the Prime Minister and I would be serving as the Queen of England. So Owen's going to do more of the, like, policy related things on campus. He's going to perhaps sit in more meetings than I am. Okay. She makes the analogy of she's the Queen, right? I happen to be in England. But then I do more things. That is like influencing the culture of the student body. So that can be through things like appearances, that can be through initiatives. We do empower her, which is a women's leadership dinner. And then each Miss Auburn has a platform that they also carry out throughout their term, but they're also the face of Auburn to the community. So I'll do things like read to kids in schools. I'm doing on Wednesday podcast, engaging with community members and civic leaders, things like that. So my days are very, very different because the role can be pretty much whatever the current person in office says they want it to be, but it's less awesome. Wonderful. And then, Mr. Prime Minister. Oh, and, walk me through your my side of it. Absolutely. So the SGA president or the equivalent for our student body president is something that's, elected by the student body every February and the best way to describe it, I would say, is the advocate for students within all decisions that are made within our administration at Auburn and within every department of, of our administration. You should go and serve within those meetings as the student representation representation and the student voice. And also, I think one of the incredible privileges of this position at Auburn that's very unique to Auburn compared to some of our peers, is that the president is a non-voting member of our board of trustees for a year. Really? Absolutely. Wow. Which is an incredible opportunity to get to sit with the board and and talk to them. That was actually one thing I got to do over the summer was travel and meet with them one on one and just talk to them about the student experience, what's going on with students, but that that is a great way to describe it. There rally of you are the advocate and just going into meetings and representing students and in the student experience. Wonderful. Well, so, it's a natural progression here. Why did you I mean, you can rock, paper, scissors on who goes first, which is my favorite way to determine it. But why do you want to run for your respective, you know, Queen Prime minister position which what you're do directly for scissors. Yeah. We can do our previous year. Oh this is great. Oh my gosh. There he is. Okay, I'll go first. There you go. That's the first time I've seen one and then chose. I've said that so many times of this and no one has actually ever done it. But now we'll take you. Yep. We're ready to go. So, like Owen said, both of our positions are elected in February. But Miss Auburn's a little bit unique in that you don't choose to run. You're nominated to run. So I was nominated by my sorority. And then every organization on campus has the opportunity to nominate one woman. And then it goes through a two round interview process. And then you run an all student body campaign, which takes place in February. But you start preparing for that in November. And for me, I'm a first generation Auburn soon from Kansas City, Missouri, and I did not know what Miss Auburn was when I came. Charlotte, could you write? So for me, it was less of a decision to run and more of a after I was nominated, I was like, wow, this is a great opportunity to gain interview experience. If I was given the opportunity to run a campaign, that would be such a unique opportunity to love the Auburn student body well, in the way that I choose to engage with people during a week where I'll talk to more students than I'll ever have the opportunity to as just an independent individual. And it was less of a like, I don't think I started thinking about what it would be like to be in the role until after I was elected, because it was just like, what is in front of me? If the interview was in front of me, okay, even if I don't get to top five, what can I bring to the important people who will be interviewing me that will benefit them after the fact during the campaign? Like how can I benefit the student body through the mechanism of the campaign? And then after I was elected, it was like, oh, how endearing. How would I like to serve? Oh, I actually have to make do I have to do this now? What is that going to look like? So it's just interesting. And I think that's kind of the nature of it. Nominated. Yeah. Role. That makes sense. I think the unique thing about this position is that you choose to run for it. So it is a little bit different than the Miss Auburn. And I think my biggest thing in my story of how I got to this point, it starts when I was a freshman and, I did SGA in high school and really enjoyed it, but it wasn't really I wasn't really set on getting plugged into it. Coming into college, I didn't think that that was going to be my path. And then I actually had some older guys, that were around me my freshman year. They got me plugged in, encouraged me to get plugged in with SGA, and I did, and it really was just kind of my fun outlet for for the first to two years of college was just my community that enjoyed getting to see. It was kind of my thing on the side that, I just love doing, and I was passionate about what I was doing. And then it really got real, going into the end of my sophomore year when some of my friends were just kind of encouraging me and made me just think about what it would look like to run for a position like this. And it honestly really opened my eyes to it, cause I wasn't really thinking about it. And I feel like with these kind of positions, you never really you never seek it out in the sense of you think that you could do it because it's almost like an imposter syndrome at first. Like there's no way that I could do something as great as that. But it's a big campus, too. It's, oh my God, there's 34,000 students at Auburn. Like, there's a, there's a huge, huge campus. And but then just to see the encouragement from people and I think that's one of the best things about Auburn and the community that is the Auburn family is that people can see the best parts of you that you may not see, and they'll build you up and encourage you to see that for yourself as well. That's awesome. That's awesome. Well, I got to know because, again, I was a lowly film student, so I don't know what it's like to be important on campus. What are some, you know, favorite moments, anecdotes, stories, weird situations, what have you. I think you can call it busy. Yeah. Is the best way to say it, because it is a it's almost like a full time job in a lot of ways of what we get to do, which is a huge blessing and an awesome opportunity to serve and give back to Auburn, because it's given us a ton trying to think of what are some funny stories I've just been put. You find yourself talking to adults a lot. Like, I feel like I've become really good at talking to adults, which is awesome and a really fun thing, but a skill. Like, as a college student in my first three years, I didn't think, like I would really need to develop at that point. Yeah, now that makes sense. I think a lot of the cool things that we get to do revolve around my platform, which was encouraging students to leverage the resources that Auburn University offers to pair them with their passions to better serve our campus, our community, and the world in the way that we chose to execute that passion or that platform was through highlighting student and organizations of the month, which Miss Auburn has historically done, but has been really fun for us to get to start this year. So that means that we get to talk to, one, we try to focus on like smaller organizations who are doing more niche activities, to show them as a pathway for other students to get involved in that niche activity that they may care about. And that's put us at like the Auburn Bee Lab. So that was cool, dude. I was out there a few weeks ago, actually. Very cool. I got to hold like a frame of bees. I also went to the fisheries, Fisheries and Aquaculture Center, and I talked to so many students who are so passionate about fish. I personally am deeply afraid of touching fish. So when I held a very large catfish, which you can see on our social medias, I was so scared. It was terrifying. But I did conquer my fear. But a sweet story that came from that last month. Our organization of the month were the EU singers and as soon as we got there we were asked. I am meeting them as case my Director of media, and she's awesome and she's here in the back just watching everyone. Yeah, we walked up and one of the girls was like, it's so nice to meet you, Riley. Like you were the first SGA election that I ever voted in. And now it's so cool that, like, you're highlighting my organization because that's why I voted for you. Because I thought that you cared about people like me. And I was like, oh my gosh, it's just oh my gosh. And then they sang the alma mater for us, and Scott and I both cried. It was beautiful. And that was probably like top three moments of my time at Auburn, just because it was like some weeks are like, oh, and was saying, so busy and you're running from thing to thing to thing to thing that it doesn't even feel like you have time to remember the stories in the moments from each of those things, and then you'll have like that could have been that was a 35 minute video shoot. And I think about it like every time I walk into doing something like this or interacting with the student because I was like, okay, this like, this does have weight. It's not just movement. Yeah, that makes sense. So I'll give you two pieces here, which is one I've very unique job where I get to do very similar. I kind of go into this thing, I'm very invested it for a couple weeks and I'm out and go in another group. Yeah. So I've getting to see so many different elements. Just a taste of campus, which is really, really incredible. And I've had very similar experiences where like, I was only with this person for an hour and like, I think about them all the time, you know, and it, it just happens so very often. The other thing I was going to give you is I'm not scared of fish to start. I want to start. Okay. Yeah. However, I do have an irrational and pathological fear of frogs. Really. So so it's like adjacent to fish. So I guess fish. So I get it. I don't know why my dad's terrified of frogs, and I think it just imprinted on me as a child that he's scared of them. So that's something you should be scared of it now. I'm terrified of them. Hate them, don't like it, so I understand. That's fascinating. Yeah, this is slimy things I don't, I don't. The way they jump the sudden movements like, are really hard for me as well. They're very unpredictable. Yeah. See mine is so books and I was going to say what your mine is bugs and really any like small creature that flies around and so like if you like when you were at the the Bee Lab Yeah. At the Bee Lab Yeah, yeah. I'm when we saw those videos and pictures and like you're in the suit like I'm like, I'm doing the thing. Yeah. That would be that's where I see I was checking out the Bee lab fisheries. No. See, I love fisheries. I think like you should go. They would probably love to have you. That's awesome. It's a that's like one of the cool the first swim. And it's like we talked about it of like the cool part about this and really all of this is that every day you get to find something new about. Yeah. Like you're learning a new thing that you didn't know before and like that's these are great examples of of things that like just the general student often isn't aware of. And you get to shine a light and just learn something new and learn how just broad and diverse Auburn as a campus and as a university really is. And that's a that's such a special thing. Yeah, it's something that I talk about, I'm sure has heard me say it before, which is there's, you know, 30 some odd plus thousand students here plus thousand faculty, like, there's always there's so many interest or you cannot walk in a room and not find an interesting story. No. Absolutely. And this campus is so large, you can walk into some different places to see things you never even know existed. Hundred percent which which is so incredible. So, we've heard all about Riley's goals and her aspirations for for her platform. Oh. And what kind of direction you're trying to take things. I know you're about halfway through your tenure here as SGA president, so what's what's what's kind of the goals, expectations and what the future will hold? There's a couple that I'd love to talk about because that's the the privilege of getting to be halfway through. We've honestly been able to make a lot of progress with a lot of great things, which is awesome. The first one, I've got three that I really want to talk about. The first one is, revolves around campus security. Because I know that we're in a, a time that's just a lot of uncertainty. And that's a big topic around campus of people just being concerned and wanting to be safe at Auburn. And we're blessed to be on a campus that feels so safe. But what's what can we do as the university to make sure that that we are. Yeah. And so at the beginning of our term, a big part of one of our big initiatives, our exact goals was revolving around security. And this past week, we were able to work with campus security and get, people request, funded and approved, to secure funding for additional security role drivers. So we're going to have ten new security shuttle drivers around campus two, which is awesome. And then we're also going to have the funding for a 24/7 security presence on campus. So at night right now, there's security specials that walk around and make sure everything's in order. And now we have the funding to employ them to do that during the day as well. So that's an amazing thing. And those special staff can be able to walk around. That's going to change the feel of campus and to make it feel more safer. But it's also going to allow us to have the certain things that we have already on campus that are making this place safe. We're going to those special screening, able to make sure that those are up to date and being used and enforced. And that's just a great thing for our campus. The next thing, this is one that I'm pretty excited about. And this has to do with 320 crosswalk over by Chick-Fil-A. And if you ask anyone right now, including the city of Auburn, they'd say that's a huge pressure point in regards to our campus. Just with student flow from crossing on and off campus, and then traffic on Magnolia to students like going to Chick-Fil-A, I don't know, I think it's safe that I've heard of this place. I heard a couple people said they enjoy it. But our big thing is, right now, with the way that traffic is flowing, students can just walk as much as they want, and that's good for a student. But it's also a safety concern because you get students going whenever they want. And then that also allows drivers to get a little impatient because Magnolia shuts down whenever it's lunchtime or class change. So one thing that we've worked with, Auburn University facilities and Auburn, the city on is trying to find a way that we can put a three stop, a three stop traffic light up there on 320. So instead of just a continuous crosswalk, you're going to have a three stop traffic light. And we've secured the funding for that already. And we're in the planning process. And hopefully we get it done by the spring. The spring academic term, this is going to allow students to cross at one moment together so that they're not being inconvenienced, but it's also going to allow traffic to flow in the way that it needs to, just to to make Auburn operate in the way that, as we all know, the traffic is, is crazy, right? Oh, yeah. Last one I want to talk about my third one. So one of the biggest issues that I heard during my campaign, and I've heard from students, is just the issue of housing and finding affordable housing around Auburn. That's just a huge it's like in the recent years, just rent prices around Auburn have gone up, tremendously. So, we've been working with our board of trustees, and this past Friday, got the vote passed, to Cambridge. So the Cambridge residence hall is offline right now, but they're going to rebuild a new structure over there, and it's going to be a 680 bed residence hall opposed to a 340 bed, which is what it was before. So that's going to provide more beds for Auburn students at a much more affordable rate, than what the current off campus market is. So we think that's a huge win for our students, and it's going to provide a lot of great things, a great spot, too. And you get to see the vote because you're at the board of trustees. Absolutely. Look at this. What a, you know, full circle. Well, some other exciting things are going on at SGA besides your particular, goals, which are truly incredible is, as y'all have referred to it as, and I'll be using it as forever. Now, the SGA Super Bowl of Heyday coming up, which is truly one of the best Auburn traditions and events currently. Walk me through what you're excited about. What makes you the most excited about Hey Day? Any experiences you had with Hey Day? So this was an event that was started after World War two. To welcome back our veterans to the Auburn community. And just by bringing them back in and saying hello, it really took off. And now is a huge Auburn tradition of just welcoming people around campus and in the community. It was the first thing that I got volunteered for was an SGA when I was a freshman, was volunteering at heyday and being at a table, just passing out name tags. And it really is. It's an amazing part of campus. I love it, it and get so excited about it because I love talking to strangers. Okay? And on heyday, everyone is wearing a nametag and if they're not wearing a nametag, you have the opportunity to identify something about them, allowing them to then put on a nametag, which to me is just like a lot of fun. Like how often I love volunteering at heyday because, I mean, everyone's walking by class, students, class, change costumes. People are trying to get where they're going. You know, we very head down like they're on their way up and heyday. You get to be like, oh, I love your bag. Do you want a nametag? Like purple shirt? I love that shirt. Do you want nametag? Which it's like you're asking them to get a nametag, but you're also, like engaging in a real conversation with them and then approaching the table. You see that touch point to be like, oh my gosh, it's so good to see you. Like, I hope you have an awesome day. I'm rooting for you. Like go forth and make friends. And it's just I think it opens up more conversations in class too, because you see people with their name tags on, and I get nervous because I forget people's names pretty often as well. So hey, they also benefits me because if I forgot, maybe the name of the person I sit next to you guys, you could see their nametag. But seriously, I do think it really does reinforce a lot of the values of the Auburn family and bring us all together. And it really is such a simple it's a simple concept when you think about it, just saying hey to someone that you're walking by, but it's so cool to see how something so easy and simple and small and just viewing it can have such a big impact. Like you could you can change someone's day or week for the better, because you have no idea what's going on in their life. And that's that's the biggest thing. And I think it just shows the human touch of Auburn that makes Auburn so special. Is the fact that we just get out there and say hi to each other. I mean, it's so simple, but it really is so great. And it, it, it defines the Auburn community. So I remember Betsy Glenn, who's someone who used to be an SGA and was in charge of Owen and I when we were both in freshman form together way back in the day. Back in the day, way back in the day. She had talked to us once, and I remember this freshman year. And then it came back to my mind when I was running a campaign, was that you don't know if that's the only person who speaks to that person this week. You don't know if you're the only person who calls them by name this week. You don't know if you're the only person who asked them how their day is going and sticks around to hear the answer this week. And that is like, I mean, it always makes you want to cry, but it really is. That could be the case. You never know. And hey, that I think is a cool opportunity to meet the students wherever they may be. Yeah, it's one of the more unique, traditions I've ever heard of, which is really cool. And it's so it is so simple, is so straightforward, and it is the embodiment of, the southern hospitality. And, you know, I do love the good creed reference. You just gotta love a good Creed reference. Slip that and, you know, it's always going to be in there. Well, I do want to get to some of the hard questions, if we will. This is going to lock in here. This is real tense. All right. So this is this is this. So, this is really big stuff here. I want to know because it's my favorite thing to do. I ask it to every single person on the podcast as every single person I talk to that. Besides, just like the hey from heyday, right? Is, how did you get to Auburn? So I would love to know how you managed to get here. What made you come to Auburn? Yeah, I can go first. I've got a funny story. Or I guess it's kind of funny. It's just like I'm expecting to fall out. I'm much here, okay? It's not. It's not gonna make you laugh like that. It's just like, What a it's a kind of a coincidence, but not really. So I was born and raised in mobile, Alabama, and so is my older brother, but my whole extended family from Fox or Massachusetts. So not from the South. Okay. Not from down here. So it didn't really have any ties to Alabama. And my dad was in the military, so he traveled around a lot before I was born, with my wife or with his wife? I don't have a wife. Yeah, that was crazy. Breaking news. Breaking news? Oh, no. My my mom and my dad, they traveled a lot. Before. That's, they travel a ton. And, so my dad really encouraged me to looking to go into the military, after high school. So I, I tried to go to West Point. That was initially where I wanted to go to senior year. Yeah. Went on two tours up there, got my, congressional recommendation to do it. Applied. And then at the end of my senior year of high school, ended up not getting in academically. And that was a huge closed door for me. And I didn't really know what was next, for sure. So the next school that I applied to and visited was Auburn, and it was the first time I had ever been to Auburn. First time I stepped on campus here didn't know I knew a few people from high school that went here, but besides, that had no like family connection here. And as soon as I did my student recruiter tour and walked around campus, I knew this is where I wanted to go and I was the only other school I applied to. And so that was it. That was it for me. And that's just that's Auburn that like you walk around, you walk around this place and you feel the community and you feel that atmosphere of just like walk on the concourse on a ran. I think I came on a Thursday, so I came back and played a football game on Friday night, and we were up here on Thursday and just walking around like, you can feel the atmosphere, you can feel how welcoming it is. And that is Auburn and that I knew right then that's where I wanted to go. Only other school up. I do, you know, I love that. That's great. My story is like actually kind of similar. Yours also different but similar ish in that it was a coincidence. I am from Kansas City, Missouri, first generation Auburn student. My parents both went to Missouri State University and are very involved. But I knew that I did not want to go to Missouri State. Kansas City is also right on line between Missouri and Kansas, and I was raised a Ku fan, which means that I was not going to Mizzou. So my parents knew pretty much from the get go that I was going out of state. It was more of a question of where as opposed to if. So, I had been looking at schools in the northeast area like Virginia DC schools briefly, Wisconsin, just I was here and there and everywhere. And November of my senior year came around. And I'm still considering these schools, but out of state merit based scholarships, in the DC Virginia area are few and far between. So my parents were pretty much lovingly sat me down and were like, Riley, you're getting a liberal arts degree. Maybe you shouldn't go into debt for this. And they were correct. So they then we'd been getting mail from the University of Alabama. So we were like, all right, let's just go see Bama. Why not? I don't know anything about the school. So we went to the University of Alabama during an Alabama LSU home football game in Texas, probably a big game. I personally had never been to a college football game before, so heck, that's a heck of a first introduction to the sport. You can imagine my fear. Walking through the streets of Tuscaloosa, I'm like, mom, we need to leave right now. I'm not going to school here. So we're thinking to ourselves, I wonder what else is in the state of Alabama? And my cousin had just gotten married to a girl who had graduated from Auburn, and she was like, y'all have to come see Auburn. You're breaking my heart. So we were like, okay, fine. We get in the car, we drive to Auburn, I set foot on campus. I didn't go on an official tour. It wasn't like we had thought about seeing Auburn, but it wasn't like a we have to see Auburn. So I set foot on campus in Stillwater own. I just walked around. It was a Saturday. I'm sure we had an away game. Town was peaceful, birds were chirping, sun was shining. All the things, all the things. And I also knew immediately I was pretty much just like, oh, I think I'm supposed to go to college here and then applied on the way home and committed as soon as I was accepted and on the way home. Look at that. Wow, I think I applied before I even like, I just come as a kid. I was like, I'm always going to go to Auburn. I don't think I only applied to Auburn. And I'm like, damn, I might have applied to another school. No, I think I maybe two other, but it was always Auburn forever. I think that's such a cool thing about Auburn too, is that there's the multi-generational Auburn family. Yeah, that love this place. Grew up around this place grew up coming to football games and that's so amazing. And then you got people that just like don't know anything about it all, stumble across some almost across it, and then everyone can come together and love this place and be part of the family that it is. I think I'd have to ask my dad, but I'm pretty sure I'm the 26th person from my family. Like cousins. And that's so cool, everybody. I think I'm 26 somewhere. I'm 26, 27. So I'm like that, my sister right here. But it goes all the way back to my grandmother's brother, who they moved from New York to, I think they were living in New York and they moved to Alabama. And when they moved here, someone inevitably asked, are you an Auburn fan or Alabama? Yeah. And this guy was pretty obnoxious. I said, well, he's an Alabama fan. Well, if you're now that fan that I'm Barbour fan, and that's how he became an Auburn fan. And then he ended up going to Auburn. He was the first of that 26 or 27 or however many came to Auburn trickle down. I think now it's in like the 30s with some of them. That's awesome and stuff. There's a lot of us that's cool. Yeah, I think that's also just been in my blood, you know? Oh yeah, that's how it is. But as we're closing up on time here, I did want to ask, as we kind of are looking at what the future holds for the next people to come through SGA. What's a great examples or some chances that students who are coming in to miss underclassmen get involved with SGA, start to kind of get their foot in like you guys did as you started. What what are some great opportunities they have for that? Definitely. I think one of the coolest things that we do, it's a year round program for students to just get plugged in at at their time, whenever they want to, is called the Exp branch of SGA, and that looks like just one time sign ups for for volunteering for events and participating in them. And that goes from volunteering for things like hey day coming up soon or CRE day that's going to be going on in the spring, or Shaker distribution for football games on Fridays, just one time events like that. You can join a group meet and get plugged in on our website and find ways to get plugged into those things. And then that's a great way to just meet people and then understand what's going on within SGA. And in the spring, they'll be a huge application window for people in cabinet that want to get plugged in, want to be serving in a full time, year round role within SGA, which I think is an amazing thing. Yeah. Absolutely wonderful. Well, thank you guys, for coming. Riley.
