Vice Presidents Takeaways from Student Government

With the 2026 presidential term coming to an end, we were able to meet with the Student Body Vice President, Adam Brzezinski. As the student body vice president, Adam worked closely with student organization funding (SOF) and club operations. He worked closely with the financial vice president and helped oversee the delegation of funding to clubs, whether it was through reaching out to clubs, answering questions, concerns, or even complaints. In Adam’s position, he dealt with communication between administration, clubs, and the representation of student government.

Through discussion with Adam, we were lucky to hear about his last couple of plans before leaving office. Adam plans to clean up the presence form used for club funding. His goal with this action is to create a better understanding for clubs and student government, while also allowing clubs to add more information upfront, resulting in faster funding decisions. Adam also plans to add SOF online training and a quiz, allowing clubs to refer back to the videos whenever needed. This will also help decrease the need for scheduling and rescheduling meetings, as well as reduce issues with hard cutoff dates.

Adam has greatly enjoyed and appreciated his time in Student Government and recommends that students give it a try! Adam expressed the abundance of experience he gained, from building new connections and friendships to better understanding the makeup of Marquette. Adam appreciates how Student Government allowed him to experience the diverse makeup of Marquette and better understand the deeper meaning of its community.
