The inaugural class of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ School of Law has elected officers to the Student Bar Association.
The SBA acts as a liaison between the school administration and the students, oversees the establishment and oversight of student organizations and acts as the school’s representative with state and national student bar associations.
The charter class SBA includes:
President: Chad Hinton. Hinton, who holds a history and pre-law degree from Campbell University, promises to lead students into opportunities for community service, social events and in interaction with the school administration and the local attorneys and bar associations. “Everyone will be involved who wants to be involved,” Hinton said. “This is our Student Bar Association and through it we are leaving our legacy as the charter class.”
Vice President: Damon Duncan. Duncan holds a corporate communications degree from ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ and pledged in his campaign to ensure good student-administration communications. “I think it’s vital that the SBA effectively communicate with the student body and the administration to improve every aspect of the law school,” Duncan said in his campaign statement.
Treasurer: Shannon O’Donnell. In addition to being the president of her student body at her undergraduate institution, East Carolina University, O’Donnell served as her student government association’s ad hoc funding chair and as student senate appropriations chair.
Secretary: Andrea Dancy. With her experience as the secretary for her condo association, Dancy – who attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for her undergraduate degree – will serve as secretary for the new SBA.
