Carlie Garner of Jim Thorpe was elected by the Lebanon Valley College student body to serve on student government during the 2025-26 academic year as the representative for the Class of 2027.

Garner, a graduate of Jim Thorpe Senior High School, is pursuing a bachelor of science in communication sciences and disorders at The Valley.

Student government includes four class officers, three class representatives, an equity representative, and a commuter representative from each class. Student government officers are elected each spring for upper-level years and in September for first-year students.

One of student government’s major responsibilities is to foster understanding, communication, and cooperation among students, faculty, and administrators. It serves as the channel for all student recommendations for establishing or changing policy and communicates these recommendations to the appropriate administrative offices or faculty committees.
