Metro's Student Government Assembly Election Commission has announced that the inauguration ceremony for the SGA's incoming members will be held at around 3 p.m. on Nov. 16.

Following the ceremony, new members will be able to meet at 4 p.m. for the new officers' first official meeting as SGA members.
