The Student Government Association, advised by Logan Gullage, assistant director of student engagement, is a group of student leaders elected by the student body. SGA serves both the Flagler College campus and the St. Augustine community through advocacy, service, campus programming, and student representation.
SGA also sponsors several signature campus events each year, including Midnight Breakfast, Destress Day, Mardi Gras, and the Students vs. Faculty/Staff Basketball Game.
The 2026-27 executive board includes:
President: Tillman Arieti
A Class of 2027 political science major with a minor in law, Arieti brings a deep personal connection to Flagler College. His entire family are Flagler alumni, and his father previously served on the SGA executive board during his time as a Saint. His parents also met while attending Flagler, further strengthening his ties to the institution. Arieti is also president of The Political Forum.
“I am excited to work with the rest of the new executive board in implementing our ideas and objectives for the student body,” Arieti said. “I will look to build off what Mia and Hannah have built over this past year and foster a close relationship with the Administration. I am excited to be the new President of the Student Government Association for the 2026-2027 school year and cannot wait to see what we can accomplish."
Chief of Staff: Myka Wilks
A member of the Class of 2027 majoring in anthropology and art history with minors in arts administration and biology, Wilks returns to the SGA leadership team with a strong commitment to service. From organizing campus drives to leading community-focused initiatives, she has worked to build opportunities that connect Flagler College with the St. Augustine community. Wilks is also deeply involved across campus as president and co-founder of Women’s Exchange, vice president of Gaming Guild, secretary of Read the Room, treasurer of Currently Trending, a Saint’s Pantry marketing assistant, and a Flagler College CORE ambassador.
“As someone who has been on SGA since my first year at Flagler, this position is something that means the world to me,” Wilks said. “I promise to always put my best foot forward in this position and take every concern given during tabling events with utmost importance. This position means being someone students can come to with issues no matter how big or small so that they feel like their voice is heard and can see the impact it can have. I hope to continue the legacy of the chief of staff that have come before me and continue to add new resolutions to improve our campus. Ultimately, if I can help shift even one student’s college experience in a positive direction, that will have made this role worth it.
Vice President of Finance: Emma Mathews
A member of the Class of 2029 majoring in biology, Mathews is actively involved in campus leadership as president of Sandy Soles Run Club, treasurer of the Green Beans Environmental Club, and a Flagler College ambassador. She brings a keen sense of responsibility and organization to her role.
“This position represents both a privilege and responsibility,” Mathews said. “As Vice President of Finance for the Student Government Association, I look forward to managing resources with integrity, supporting student organizations, and helping create opportunities that benefit the entire campus community.”
Vice President of Volunteer Services: Ally Olejniczak
A first-year sociology major, Olejniczak is involved in Student Government, Film Club, and Students for a Democratic Society. She is passionate about service and community engagement and looks forward to expanding volunteer opportunities for students.
“I am honored to have the chance of representing the school through my leadership role of Vice President of Volunteer Services, and my hope is to spread the good feelings made from acts of kindness through service work,” Olejniczak said.
Vice President of Administration: Leigha Byrd
A member of the Class of 2027 majoring in psychology with a minor in biology, Byrd is involved in the Gaming Guild and Read the Room. She is focused on strengthening communication between SGA and the student body.
“Receiving the role of Vice President of Administration has meant the world to me,” Byrd said. “The Student Government Association holds a special place in my heart, as it has helped me to fulfill my passion for bettering the student experience. I hope to make a difference by connecting the student body to SGA, which will allow them to take charge of their experience at Flagler. I am so excited to collaborate with my fellow executive board members and senators to spread awareness about the events that we host this year.”
Vice President of Student Activities: Bonnie Roberts
A Class of 2028 digital media production and journalism major, Roberts returns to the SGA leadership team after previously serving in the role. Known for her energy and creativity, she has helped bring large-scale and memorable events to campus, from themed experiences to late-night traditions designed to bring students together. She also serves as the sophomore class chair for the President’s Leadership Academy.
“I am jumping for joy at the fact that I am returning as the Vice President of Student Activities,” Roberts said. “For me, it is not just a role, but a commitment fueled by passion. I want to be known as someone who cared deeply about the student body and campus and was able to make a positive difference. I hope that someday another student will be interviewed about why they chose SGA and they’ll remember me and how I inspired them.”
The SGA office is located on the second floor of the Ringhaver Student Center. Students can share comments, suggestions, and concerns by emailing sga@flagler.edu or visiting the office in Room 250.
