Dr. Watson, as Vice President of Student Affairs, went above and beyond her administrative duties. Committed to student leadership, she ensured SGA had the necessary tools and resources to succeed, while championing student involvement in university decision-making.
As a mentor to many student leaders, Dr. Watson fostered growth in citizenship and leadership skills. Her unwavering support enabled the Student Government Association to achieve exceptional results, accomplishing more in one year than many student governments do in a decade.
