Christopher Lunden, Brent Frederick and Zachary Davis became the newly elected SCC officers for the 2009-2010 school year.

As a result of last week's election, Christopher Lunden and Brent Frederick will serve another term as SCC president and vice president, respectively.
Lunden is a recreation management major. He became interested in the SCC through some friends of his.
In his role as SCC president, he oversees the SCC's budget, as well as handling corporate operations.
"I'm very approachable. I'm always willing to listen to anything students want to talk about," said Lunden.
Frederick is a health and physical education major. He transferred to LHU from Montgomery County Community College.
While at MCCC, he served in their student government.
"Opportunities opened, doors opened, and I took advantage of those opportunities, and I accepted positions, and that's how I got to where I am," said Frederick.
He was confident that he could handle the job.
"I looked at what the requirements were and what the vice president had to do and according to what they had to do, I felt comfortable taking that position," said Frederick.
The vice president's roles are varied.
"I have a ways and means committee, which goes over the constitutions. I take care of the senators, I give them ideas of jobs to get their volunteer hours done," he said.
Lunden hopes to continue using his role as president to petition administration on students' behalf.
"I want to continue allowing students to voice their opinions and take those to administration to get them involved," he said.
Lunden admits, though, that there is only so much he can do.
"You can't always say 'yes' to everything and you also have to figure out, in the administration's eyes, what's the most important way to present it to them," said Lunden.
Frederick hopes to use his position to increase involvement between students and the SCC.
"I want to get the senate involved. I never saw the SCC before I came here. So when I came here, I noticed the senate wasn't very involved," said Frederick.
He attributes this lack of involvement to the youth of the current senate.
"There was a lot of freshmen and transfer students, so they weren't very comfortable exactly," said Frederick.
His plan for next year is to get the returning senators to be more active on campus.
"I'm going to try and get them really involved with the school and let them know that they can voice their opinions," said Frederick.
