The mystery of the disappearing Student Government agencies

UF Student Government’s executive branch has agencies akin to our federal government’s departments. Each agency has its own mission. The ACCENT Speakers Bureau brings in speakers, as I’m sure you’ve all realized at this point, while Chomp the Vote dabbles in registering voters.
