Senior Brad Groves is currently the president of the Richmond College Student Government Association. He is a business administration and finance major with a minor in leadership studies, and studied abroad at the Copenhagen Business School in fall 2013. Under Groves’ leadership, RCSGA has worked more closely with the Westhampton College Government Association and has listened to the student body through monthly town hall forums, each of which are themed with a relevant and timely topic. Something you didn’t know about Groves? His high school job was pumping gas in Princeton, New Jersey. Here’s a glimpse into a day in his life.
