Friends,
The Student Government Association (SGA) has reached the end of one of several
major enhancement initiatives. Now hanging over the main reception area of the
SGA office is a metallic sign that proudly reads "STUDENT GOVERNMENT
ASSOCIATION." This sign was created by local metal work artist Kat
Clear.
Kat has worked closely with the City of Burlington on creating unique metal works that include a large bike lock rack and the crown for the city. She has also worked with the Davis Center creating signage such as the international welcome at the entrance of the Davis Center. Based on her personal commitment to supporting the local economy and shared belief in the ecological and social justice mission of UVM, the Davis Center and the Ram/ Vincent-Bryan administration, we selected her as lead for the sign project

On the horizon SGA is looking ahead to:
Creating a TV Lounge, with an interactive multimedia system for entertainment and programming.
Visual updates to the SGA Presidential Conference Room which will reflect the work of the ten generations of SGA Presidents and Vice-Presidents who have contributed to the vision of the Davis Center and have ensured a space for student organizations in the building.
Renovations & dedication of the Gormley Conference Room in memory of an SGA Senator who lived a short yet remarkable life in service to other and is a shining example of leadership and compassion. This room will highlight artwork from local artists and furniture crafted from wood grown though an ecological sustainable practices.
In keeping with the Student Centered vision for the Davis Center and SGA, we would like to incorporate student art in the club space. We would love to hear from student artists interested in donating their artwork to this space. Interested student artists should send an e-mail to [log in to unmask]
