Posted by on in ,

Bobby Brooks, a Junior Economics major, will take office as Texas A&M’s 74th Student Body President and will become Aggieland’s first openly gay SBP as well.

“I would like it to echo the sentiment that I’ve always had, that I am just ready to get to work here, get things done,” Brooks told the paper. “Someone had [to] do it at some point. I think it’s less about me, Bobby, and more about a person that filled that role is now here and that is what’s really exciting for me.”

Brooks is currently serving as the University Student Center’s Vice President of Diversity and will fill his new role on April 21st with the goals of improving student services and expanding diversity and inclusion throughout campus.
