Additional Information
Why are you running for Student Government?
The main reason I want to run for Student Government is that I know and have seen the effect of good leadership on a group and I want to be apart of that. I want to be able to say I was a part of the positive change on campus.
The purpose of student government is to improve the campus life of students and to continually address issues as they come and some even before they come. As long as it stays true to that purpose I want to be a part of it.
Which issue do you think should be changed or improved on campus?
I think an issue that should be improved on campus is the disconnect between the 1st year students and everyone else on campus during the first couple weeks of school. My solution to that problem is that we have a hospitality team that is positioned in various spots around campus where their only purpose is to help this who look lost or overwhelmed and to look out for those who might just need someone to talk to or even just say high to them.
This team would help fix the problem of a newer student not feeling at home on campus right away. I came up with the solution to this problem because I was the one who was overwhelmed and didn’t know anybody when I first came to this school, but now I have the chance to make a difference.
What makes you qualified to sit on Student Government?
I am qualified to sit on Student Government because I have been in many various leadership roles before. In high school I was a member of student council for 3 years. I was also an Ambassador for my school and I met with the Superintendent every month to talk about what was going on in our school district. I had the opportunity to speak to the entire freshmen class at my old high school as well.
