As he waits to begin his presidential duties next year, Bailey will have a little time to set his agenda for the coming year.
Right now, one of his duties will be choosing a secretary. Bailey can choose anyone he wants for the role, and the job will include taking minutes at the meetings and sending out e-mails to the executives, along with writing out the president's agenda.
Bailey will also work with the executive council that is basically the advisory board for the SGA. The executive council meets to set the overall agenda for the SGA and talks about matters they think need to be brought forth to the senate to vote on.
Bailey may also want to take a minute to talk to someone else who can help ease him into his new job.
As one president prepares to take over, one president prepares to step down. Senior political science major Ivey Kelly has served his two-term limit as president and will be passing on the job to Bailey at the end of the semester.
While Kelly said that he enjoyed every second of his presidency, he could not say that he was sad to see it come to an end.
"I think that two years is long enough so that someone else can take over and cultivate some new ideas," said Kelly.
Kelly also said that he was proud that under his time as president, the SGA began opening up more dialogue with the faculty about key issues that concerned the students, such as academics and attendance policies.
Kelly also had some sound advice for the incoming president.
"Be consistent," said Kelly. "A lot of people are not going to like what he'll do, and consistency is key if it is an issue he really cares about."
