Here are some of our favorite photos that you've shared on social media.

#Repost @bda4sga ・・・ Xavier, We want to thank all voters, supporters, students, and members of the Xavier Community. This 2018 election was an historical moment. Record high of 2,076 voters. The first all black ticket ever to win SGA, the highest student leadership position at Xavier. Our supporters have been the most amazing people and our foundation of who we are. We are beyond grateful for everyone who voted regardless of your choice. We want to give the biggest shoutout to @cmw4sga CMW, @rreforexecutive RRE, @tkt4exec TKT. These individuals are inspiring, talented student leaders on campus and will continue to do amazing things. Xavier University, we will begin to work for progress. We ran - for you. We continue to fight and strive for real pragmatic change for you. Better days ARE ahead. 🔆

Teachers working car lines, people collecting garbage and recycling, postal workers, crossing guards and more. May you have good weather-proof gear and a spirit that keeps the grumpy at bay. Thank you for what you do for the rest of us!”
