Student Government President Meets The President
Steve Sedlock, president of The University of Akron’s Associated
Student Government (ASG), was selected to be part of the
White House Roundtable with Young Leaders at Cleveland State
University in February. One of the members on the panel was
President Barack Obama.
The young leaders’ conversation with the president focused

graduates stay in the state through strategic job placement.
The Young Leader roundtable was part of a larger forum
attended by Obama on small business development.
