Working with the other elected officers, which priority do you think you should share?
"Our unwavering commitment is to improve student well-being and foster a strong sense of community within our university. By working collaboratively, we can ensure that all voices are heard and that the changes we implement truly reflect the needs of the student body. Together, we should actively seek student opinions through regular surveys, forums, and open discussions. This feedback will guide us in creating meaningful and productive change within the university, ensuring that every initiative—whether related to cost of living, accessibility, or campus engagement—is aligned with the real concerns of our peers. Collaboration among elected officers is essential to building a university experience where all students feel supported, valued, and empowered to succeed."

"To effectively represent and engage with members, I will prioritize open communication, active involvement, and inclusivity. This includes regular feedback channels like surveys and events, providing transparent updates, and holding office hours for direct engagement. I’ll stay involved on campus by attending events hosted by students and staff to hear from a broad range of students. While touring all campuses, I will ensure underrepresented voices are heard through tailored outreach and collaboration with diverse groups. By fostering dialogue and supporting student-led initiatives, I’ll ensure every member feels valued and included in shaping our university experience."
