Graham elected chair of FSA, becomes student representative on BOG

Last week, FAMU Student Body President Tonnette S. Graham became the new student representative on the Florida Board of Governors (BOG). She earned the position by virtue of her election as the chairwoman of the Florida Student Association (FSA).

Graham is now the official voice of the more than 330,000 students within the State University System (SUS) of Florida. She is also the first black woman to represent FSA on the BOG.

A graduate of Rickards High School in Tallahassee, Graham is currently serving her second term as FAMU Student Government Association (SGA) president. She is senior and studies healthcare management.  

The last FAMU student body president to serve as FSA chair and the student representative on the BOG was Gallop Franklin, II. Franklin was also elected to those jobs during his second term in the FAMU SGA presidency.
