Dragon Talk

Students need a voice, so they stepped up. On this episode of Dragon Talk, host Timilehin Daramola is joined by three members of the 2025/26 Student Government Association; President Christione Johnson, Vice President Maryam Abdurrahman and Secretary/Treasurer Nadia Bayiga.
The group reflects on their time on the SGA and as students in general, the challenge of balancing their roles as leaders and their responsibilities as students, and what their next steps are. The team also leaves some words of advice and encouragement for the 2026/27 SGA, who we'll be speaking to in a future episode of Dragon Talk.
