McKenzie Walker

Vice Chairperson

Years at SHSU: 2 

At SHSU, I am pursuing a Biomedical Degree with a minor in Spanish. Since I’ve been here, I have been a part of the Freshman Leadership Program, which allowed me to get more involved in the community and on campus. I am president of Alpha Lambda Delta, an honor society for first year students, which opened the door for me to become a better leader. I also work in the Department of Leadership Initiatives, where I help oversee all the student organizations on campus and help coordinate different community service events.

Jackson Spencer

I have been a student at Sam Houston for four and a half years studying health care administration. Throughout my years at Sam Houston I have been involved in many campus and community activities. I rushed my fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon in the fall of 2014 and have held several leadership positions including recruitment director and president. Through my fraternity I have volunteered at The Woodlands Pavilion, the special Olympics, Bearkat All Paws In and many other events. I believe in helping promote health for the good of the individual and the good of the greater population. I am excited to be representing the students of Sam Houston State University!
