Senate appoints new justice to Constitutional Court

Student senate appointed a new justice to the constitutional court and swore in a new senator in its 4 p.m. meeting Monday.
Mekenna Fisher, freshman of Hershey, was appointed to the constitutional court which serves under Chief Justice Megan Hodgson, sophomore of McCook, when she needs a constitutional review.
“I’ve always had a really big interest in legal process, and I really wanted to be involved with senate, but being on the rodeo team didn’t allow that,” Fisher said. “Being on the court, I could manage both so that’s why I thought this would be a really fun opportunity.”
Following the appointment, Hodgson swore in Hannah Pfeifly, junior of Stromsburg, as Eagle Ridge’s dorm senator after she moved from Andrews Hall.
Additionally, at Large Senator Katherine Hoeke, sophomore of Rapid City, South Dakota, resigned due to unnamed reasons and Andrews’ Hall Senator Viraj Faria of Mumbai, of India, resigned after he announced he will be moving out of Andrews Hall.
