President’s Welcome

Angela Clarke, SGA President

Welcome to the home of the Student Government Association at Central Piedmont.

My name is Angela Clarke, and I’m honored to say that I will be president of the Student Government Association for the 23-24 academic year! Here is a little bit about me: I was born and raised here in Charlotte, North Carolina. I am a senior middle college student at Cato Campus, and I am working towards my Associate of Arts degree with a minor in business administration. After graduating in the spring of 2024, I will transfer to an in-state four-year university with the intent to major in business, finance, or international affairs.

During the previous academic year, I served as a senator for Cato Campus, providing me with the experience and opportunities I needed to develop as a student leader. As president, I will dedicate myself to leading the Student Government Association with transparency and open-mindedness and ensuring the representation of all Central Piedmont students and student groups. To this end, I will proudly embody the core values of Central Piedmont and, hopefully, leave a lasting impact on the Student Government Association.

I appreciate your interest in the Student Government Association at Central Piedmont,

Angela Clarke
