Bryan Fernández resigned as Undergraduate Student Government president, he announced in a statement Thursday.

Vice president Brianna Sánchez will be sworn in as president at the Dec. 3 senate meeting, Fernández told the Daily Trojan.

Following the removal of former speaker of the senate Diana Carpio Tuesday, the senate will elect a new speaker who will then be inaugurated as the vice president, Fernández said. The senate will then hold another election to decide the new speaker of the senate.

Fernández said the decision to resign does not stem from dissatisfaction or negative feelings with USG and called his time in the position “one of the greatest honors of [his] life.”

“I have had the opportunity to learn and grow alongside the incredible USG team, the student body, and the many individuals I have interacted with throughout my tenure,” Fernández wrote. “It has been a true privilege to collaborate with passionate students, advisors, and administrators to push for meaningful change and progress.”

As Fernández turns his focus toward personal matters, the former president said he has “absolute” confidence in the ability of USG to serve the student body in his absence.

“I am immensely proud of everything we have accomplished together, and I am confident that USG will continue to drive meaningful change and enhance the USC experience for all students,” Fernández wrote.
