The Texas Tech University SGA announced its 2025 election results, with Faith Geistweidt elected as student body president and Crispus Ankomah as graduate vice president. The new administration will prioritize transparency and senator retention. The official term begins on May 1, following an election showcasing diverse student representation.

The Texas Tech University Student Government Association (SGA) recently announced the results for its 2025 election via a live stream. Crispus Ankomah, a graduate student from Ghana pursuing a master’s degree in history, emerged victorious as the graduate vice president. In an uncontested race, Faith Geistweidt, a junior majoring in agriculture and applied economics from Fredericksburg, was elected as the student body president for the 61st session.

Geistweidt emphasized her commitment to ensuring transparency between the SGA and the student body, aiming to enhance communication through social media platforms. She stated that it is crucial for students to be informed about the initiatives and achievements undertaken by the SGA. “Being able to tell students what Student Government Association is doing… I think, is really important for students to know,” Geistweidt remarked.

Addressing challenges such as decreased senator retention and recruitment, Geistweidt highlighted that Internal Vice President-elect Madeline Clark will focus on these issues. To motivate student senators, incentives such as early class registration or scholarships may be considered. Geistweidt explained, “It all boils down to transparency… if students don’t know how SGA is impacting their daily lives, they remain uninformed about valuable services provided by their representatives.”

The new term for Geistweidt and the 61st session will begin on May 1. In addition to the presidential results, the newly elected executive team includes Jackson Bentley as External Vice President and Madeline Clark as Internal Vice President. The comprehensive list of newly elected senators spans various colleges, showcasing a diverse representation from across the university.

The recent SGA election results reveal a commitment to transparency and student engagement under the leadership of Faith Geistweidt and her elected team. Emphasizing information accessibility and senator retention, the newly elected officials aim to enhance the student experience at Texas Tech. As they prepare to begin their term on May 1, their initiatives will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between the SGA and the student body.
