Zachary Eick

Zachary Eick served as a Student Association Representative during the 2011-12, 2012-13, and 2013-14 academic years. He is currently the most senior Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of Saginaw Valley.

In 2013, he ran for Speaker of the Association, but lost to Joseph Rexford after only garnering one vote before being eliminated from consideration after the first round of voting.

In September of 2013, Eick announced to the campus community in a letter to the editor in The Valley Vanguard that he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2005, reacting to what he called "a number" of students commenting on his recent weight loss.

"I wanted to publicly address this issue as I feel it is important to make you all aware of," part of the letter read, "In December 2005 I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. While I will spare you the details of what that is, Crohn's disease is a medical disorder that currently has no cure."

Eick was a rare unanimous appointment into the association in early 2012. His voting record was generally considered pragmatic and he tended to stray from controversy, although he gave a much-discussed speech to the association at the end of the 2012-13 academic year in which he chastised former association president Ted Goodman and other association leaders.

Eick is the only sitting Supreme Court justice to never have authored an opinion of the Court.
