Adjah heard of his victory in a phone call from Okunseinde, who is also a Crimson editor.
“I felt so grateful and felt blessed,” said Adjah, who just finished serving as BSA treasurer. “The name ‘BSA’ has a lot of connotations and it has to be all of those things. You have to appeal to your membership which means being everything: social, political and cultural. As president, I want to assure this happens.”
Raynor will continue his involvement in BSA in the upcoming year, despite his defeat.
“The student body obviously couldn’t decide between us and I think both of us are qualified, so Lawrence will do a great job,” Raynor said. “I’ve already had a meeting with him and will provide assistance to him whenever possible.”
