- College of Arts and Sciences Senator
Additional Information
Why are you running for Student Government?
Through my experience in Freshman Leadership Council, I have seen first hand how student government runs and the actual difference made by committee members within the senate. I want to join in on listening to students and making changes for UNO. Since attending my first committee meeting, I have been inspired by the senate’s work to change this campus into a place that is for the students, by the students.
Which issue do you think should be changed or improved on campus?
Currently, the student senate is not very transparent, so something I would work on within senate is making senate meetings more accessible for people to watch and see what work is going on within meetings.
Along with accessibility, parking is also something I would collaborate on with other senators. Parking doesn’t need to be as difficult for students as it is; students worry more about whether or not their cars get a ticket for parking in a lot on campus than their classes or personal safety walking through Elmwood.
What makes you qualified to sit on Student Government?
I’ve served as an event coordinator in Maverick Productions and a member of the Dance Marathon Impact Program. I’m also involved in Chi Omega, Freshman Leadership Council, Junior Collegiate Panhellenic Council (JCPC), and Campus Democrats.
Through these experiences I’ve grown as a leader, gained independent problem-solving skills, and advocated for students. I’m excited to run for student government to continue advocating for students, and with my skills mentioned above, I think I’d be a great addition to the senate.
