Olivia R. Stevens is the new Director of Events for PVCC’s Student Government Association (SGA). This semester brought about the beginning of her second year at PVCC and her first time on the executive board of the SGA.

Stevens initially came to PVCC so that she could stay close to her family after the death of her father.

She became involved in the SGA during her first semester, after a great experience in her high school SGA.  She became interested in the position of director of events after also having been on the event committee in high school and thoroughly enjoying that experience.

“I want this year to be the best year for events. I want to get the school more involved in events,” Stevens said.

Her first event was the recent Welcome Back Social, which ended up being one of the biggest at PVCC. She was very pleased with the volunteer help she received from other SGA members and with the amazing number of students and faculty who came to partake in the fun.

Stevens said she has not faced any major challenges as director of events, mainly just little things that they have been able to quickly move past.

She is always open to new ideas for events and wants students to feel free to bring their ideas to her attention.

“I want people to enjoy coming to Piedmont and not just go to classes and then go back home. I want people to come to school, make friends, enjoy and make memories. I want people to leave Piedmont happy,” Stevens said.
