Each year a new freshman class is welcomed into Kean University and along with that comes a group of students who take on the roles of the student government of their class. This year’s class has a full board consisting of nine senators and a full executive board. The freshman class has received a lot of recognition from both upperclassmen and staff.

Executive Vice president of Student Organization Caleb J. Lewis, who is also a senior at Kean, is surrounded by Kean’s Student Organization.

“It has a orded me the opportunity to surround myself with admirable individuals who are in pursuit of goals that are similar to mine,” Lewis said.

Lewis has spent a lot of time around the freshman class and has had an up-close view of what sets the class of 2022 apart from all others.

“Freshman are ambitious and enthusiastic the future,” Lewis said.
