House Joint Resolution 1540, sponsored by Representative Littleton, honors Vice President Anna Beth Thompson and the Student Government Association (SGA) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) in recognition of the organization's 105th anniversary. This resolution highlights the significance of the SGA's milestone, particularly noting that for the first time in its history, both the president and vice president of the SGA are women. Anna Beth Thompson, who was elected with a remarkable 63.8 percent of the vote, aims to enhance student engagement and improve the operational effectiveness of the SGA.

The resolution acknowledges the importance of student-led organizations in contributing to higher education institutions in Tennessee and celebrates the record turnout of 7,254 student voters in the recent SGA elections. It is deemed fitting to honor the leadership of the SGA during this historic year, reflecting the commitment of the General Assembly to recognize the achievements of students and their organizations.
