"I am a third year voice student in the School of Music. I am also an alumni of UNCSA’s high school program. I grew up in High Point, North Carolina. This will be my third year participating in student government and I am excited to take on the role of Student Body President. I love creating ideas to make the school better. I am excited to represent the voices and needs of the School of Music and of all the arts schools. I look forward to collaborating with other departments at UNCSA in order to advocate for better campus communication, student health and wellness, campus safety and any other needs of the student body. I can’t wait for another year of fantastic performances and meeting new faces!" – Jack Sargeant

Student Body Vice President
School of Dance '24
South Korea
“Hi! I was born in South Korea and grew up in New Port Richey, Florida. I moved to Winston-Salem when I started UNCSA’s contemporary dance program as a junior in high school. I decided to continue my training in UNCSA’s B.F.A. program and now I’m a rising senior in college. I’m so excited to be a part of SGA and work with these amazing people to make the student body’s experience at UNCSA better. Last year I started UNCSA’s ACT (Asians Come Together) club, and I found that I really enjoyed using my voice and actions as a student in a leadership position to bring more awareness and inclusivity into our community. I’m hoping that in SGA I’ll have more opportunities to make sure other student’s voices will be heard as well. ” – Claire Schiffer
