"We want to learn from wherever we can and from whoever we can," said Beaird.
The campaign slogan that Beaird and Quan Poole, the VP, used, "Serving by example," is one they plan on using for their entire term.
"SGA should be about the serving, not just the leading," said Beaird. "We want to see new faces in the SGA office everyday."
Though a native of Sikeston, Missouri, Beaird comes from a long line of ASU graduates. "My father came here and my grandfather."
This charismatic, lover of outdoors sports and honor student has always loved to get involved in student organizations, having held 15 titles and been given eight honors awards.
According to his Facebook page, Beaird's interests include technology, BBQ, and Welsh Terriers, and he believes in living everyday like it's Saturday. Well his Saturdays will be pretty full from now on.
A business management major, Beaird would love to go into politics someday. "I want to be established first," said Beaird. "Have a family and be financially stable before I go into politics."
Beaird also belongs to the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity (PIKE), a well-established organization on campus.
Beaird considers himself to be a hard worker and someone who is focused on getting things done.
"A lot of things are possible to get done with the right work ethic," said Beaird.
Beaird joined the SGA his freshmen year and knew right away he wanted to one day become SGA president.
"I've wanted this position for so long," said Beaird. "It's was a big goal for myself. I love being involved and informed."
There is controversy over Beaird being president already.
The controversy is over the new amendment that allows students with sixty credits hours to run for SGA president. Beaird was chair of The Student Affairs Committee that gave the proposal, and some students feel there was a hidden agenda on Beaird's part.
