Paul says, \u201cWe just started this committee a couple years ago because we get &#8216;big ideas,&#8217; but we don\u2019t want to burden the other committees with them. So, the president\u2019s committee is the special projects committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One\u00a0thing\u00a0that has been considered is\u00a0a sand volleyball court on campus. A plan Paul has for the year is \u2018Teacher Appreciation Week\u2019 at the end of the semester.<\/p>\n<p>For this year, Johnson wants\u00a0\u201cto keep the Student Government growth going and to do all the things that we\u2019ve done last year, learn from our mistakes and do better, make the Student Government better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul would also like to bring his own style of leadership to student government. \u201cI like to keep things energetic and make things fun,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He believes in learning while having fun and likes an interactive style of leadership. He\u00a0is trying his best for the students to feel like their voice is being heard and that their suggestions and concerns are being taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p>His main thought on the job is, \u201cSo far so good.\u201d Still in the early part of the year, \u201cThe job gets a little busy sometimes, but I\u2019m enjoying it.\u201d He\u2019s excited to start the year off with a positive senate.<\/p>\n<p>As energetic as Johnson\u00a0is inside he\u2019s just as energetic outside. Being an energetic person he loves all types of sports especially running and Ultimate Frisbee. Some other hobbies of his include singing and playing sporty video games.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Diane Nguyen&#8211;Paul Philip Johnson, Jr., a senior double major in International Affairs and Mass Communications, is your\u00a0Student Government President. \u201cA brief summary of my job is pretty much being a voice of the students,\u201d Johnson said.
