BW students elected Brenna Holliday of Medina, Ohio, as student body president and Stephanie Neff of Seven Hills, Ohio, as vice president for the 2024-25 academic year.
Holliday, a junior music education major with a vocal primary, and Neff, a communication studies major with minors in legal studies and political communication, are enthusiastic about their new roles and eager to make a positive impact on campus.
"We are ready to help foster a positive change on campus and see what we can do to enhance the Baldwin Wallace experience," Holliday said. "[W]e hope that we can somehow ease the stresses students feel through our many initiatives and goals that we have set. It is an honor to have the opportunity to serve as Student Body President, and I am ecstatic to see what this year holds!"
Holliday, a Cloverleaf High School graduate, brings a wealth of experience to the role, including being a resident assistant, student worker in the Student Life Center, Junior Class president, and former Student Senate president and chair of the Academic Affairs Committee. She is also involved in the Ohio Music Educators Association and American Choral Directors Association and is a member of the first Sophomore Women's Empowerment and Mentoring Program group. Off campus, Holliday sings in her church's worship team, and she is currently serving as the spring intern for Good Company, a choral ensemble based in Lakewood, Ohio.
Neff, a Padua Franciscan High School graduate, is equally passionate about student advocacy. "I am very honored to be stepping into this role and being able to hopefully foster positive change on campus. Student advocacy is something I feel very strongly about, and I want to be a strong voice for my peers," she said. "Brenna and I look forward to increasing communication throughout multiple areas as well as focusing on safety on campus. Creating a strong bond with administrators and reaching out to students and student organizations personally will allow for this growth."
Neff has served as Delta Zeta sorority president and Student Senate secretary. She is currently an executive board member of Delta Zeta.
Both Delta Zeta sisters emphasized their commitment to open communication and collaboration. "We would like the student body to know they can come to us with any concerns, ideas, or questions," Neff said. "Brenna and I are here for them and want to hear from them. Having open and honest conversations and communication will help us help you!"
The BW community congratulates Holliday and Neff and looks forward to their leadership in the coming year. The pair officially took office during an inauguration ceremony on Tuesday, Feb. 20. Their term of office runs until the spring election in 2025.
