Executive

President

Jordan Monaghan

Jordan Monaghan is a senior Politics and International Affairs major with minors in French Language and International Studies. A native North Carolinian from Charlotte, Jordan is an avid Carolina Panthers fan and will insist that there’s nothing better than the Blue Ridge Mountains in the fall.

Jordan has been involved with Student Government since his first few weeks at Wake Forest, eagerly running for and winning a position within his dorm during the fall of 2013. He spent his first year in Student Government as a Senator on the Appropriations and Charter Committee, an experience that allowed him to engage with a variety of Wake Forest cultures and understand the need for the reformation of the chartering process for student organizations. During the two following years as a Co-Chair of the Appropriations and Charter Committee, Jordan played a major role in overhauling the outdated procedures lasting six to eight months to one of roughly three weeks length. Jordan’s involvement and dedication to the Wake Forest community is apparent beyond his commitment to Student Government. In the past, he has served as a PREPARE Facilitator, a Student Adviser, and the Social Chair for Chi Psi Fraternity.

The bond that we share as Demon Deacons is something that Jordan holds in the highest regard. This year, Jordan will strive to ensure that each student knows they have a place in our community and that their input is valuable. Through a variety of different initiatives focused on accentuating our common identity as Demon Deacons, he will increase the inclusivity and acceptance of Student Government and the student body as a whole. In providing connections to fellow Demon Deacons as well as the Winston-Salem community, Jordan will encourage collaboration and innovation amongst our peers and neighbors. Finally, by expanding the conversation surrounding mental health and healthy lifestyles for college students, he will enhance the well-being of our community to an unprecedented higher level.

Jordan spends most of his intellectual freedom as a political junkie and has worked the past two summers in Washington, DC for the Human Rights Campaign, Rep. George K. Butterfield (NC-01), and the U.S. Department of State. When not in the SG office, Jordan can be found binge watching a new Netflix Original Series, procrastinating in the Gov Docs room of ZSR, or eating Pit pizza (his favorite on- campus food).
