I want to run for SGA to better represent the junior class and build better communication between students and faculty. I would highlight students' ideas and concerns and make sure their voices are heard. I would also like to build a better relationship between students and faculty. In recent years, there have been many changes that happened rapidly. It has been brought to my attention that students aren't aware of most changes and I would make sure that would change. To my understanding, most students aren't aware of what representatives do and I will make sure information will be more readily available. Students' input is most important and with the ability to represent the junior class, I would make sure it is heard and at minimum, taken into consideration. My class's voice is as important as every other voice and I will carry that responsibility into every room I am in. Effective communication and better relationships will lead to improvements and effective change for my class and with this opportunity, I will make sure I will be that person for the class of 2028.
My platform is centered around communication and community. Communication is of utmost importance to make improvements at UD. Students are the ones who primarily experience these changes, and most students aren't even aware that representatives have the ability to be their voice. In recent years, there has been a lack of communication between their representatives and classes. The ability to effectively communicate what the majority of students are thinking is what I will do and represent. Community is what makes UD so great and keeping the UD community strong is a huge part of my platform. Hearing as many voices speak is what I strive to do. In recent years, I haven't been able to access information and have had my own opinions I'd want to share, and I am sure others were in that same position. Hearing as many voices speak about possible changes is what will build our community, since their opinions being represented will allow students to feel as if they are more a part of the community. I would take this opportunity to build on these two values to improve UD.
My experience in Mock Trial has helped me build leadership skills, as well as advocating for others and communicating with others perspectives in mind. I have been a captain and would lead groups of team members through practices and competitions and had to balance my workload while supporting others through their work. I have also had to advocate for the team by talking to coaches and other executive members through changes and improvements. This would directly impact my work as a class representative since I have had to act as an advocate for a group of students who sought change. I have also been Political Director for College Democrats, meaning I had to keep up with current political events and be able to explain how they're relevant and communicate to others how it can impact us. The skills I have learned through this position will allow me to be able to efficiently keep up with current events happening in the UD community and be able to effectively communicate how current changes are going to affect students. I am also interning at Artemis Center and balancing two jobs on campus, meaning I am good at managing my time and using that time effectively. I have built my skills communicating and advocating with others, as well as managing my time to make the most effective use of my time.
College Democrats and Student Regional Ambassador for the Office of Admissions.
I am running for SGA because I enjoy helping students have their voices heard. My goal is to help solve problems that students face in areas where they cannot go to faculty and administration. I want to better the school by making a difference through real change and real results.
I am hoping to accomplish more than just winning the position of a representative, I want to be a voice for students, improve student life on campus, and increase communication and transparency throughout the whole school.
My experience has been working with the student government association for the past two years as a representative. I have experience in this role and know what is expected of me to be successful. I will be active at the weekly meetings and seek positive change to better the community and student life on campus.
I am a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon social fraternity where I participate in brotherhood events, philanthropy, and contribute to fostering a positive and supportive environment for my brothers.
I am running for SGA because I care about making sure students get heard. My goal is to fix problems students deal with that they cannot bring straight to faculty or administration. I want to improve our school by creating real change that actually gets results.
My goal goes beyond just winning a spot as a representative. I want to speak up for students and make campus life better. I also want to push for more communication and transparency across the whole school.
I have spent the past two years serving as a representative in the student government association. This experience has taught me what the role requires and how to succeed in it. I plan to stay active at weekly meetings and keep pushing for change that helps our community and student life.
I am also involved in the business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi, and am pretty involved with Campus Ministry.
I want to run for SGA Junior Class Representative to become even more involved in UD's tight-knit community and have the opportunity to help my peers directly. Through Women's Club Soccer, Alpha Epsilon Delta, Pre-Med and Pre-PA Club, Young Life, and my work as an EMT, I have had the opportunity to connect with many different people across campus and become involved in different parts of the UD community. I believe this position would allow me to grow as a leader while giving me the opportunity to listen to my classmates, represent their ideas and concerns, and make sure their voices are heard. I would be excited to serve my class and help make our junior year a positive and memorable one.
My platform is centered around making sure students feel heard, represented, and connected within the UD community. As Junior Class Representative, I hope to create an open line of communication between my classmates and SGA by listening to students' ideas, concerns, and experiences and bringing their voices forward. I want to use my involvement in different areas of campus to connect with a variety of students and help make sure everyone feels that they have a voice. Ultimately, I hope to strengthen the sense of community that makes UD special.
My involvement in different organizations, healthcare experiences, and roles on campus has given me experiences that I believe will help me be successful as a Junior Class Representative. Through Women's Club Soccer, Alpha Epsilon Delta, Pre-Med and Pre-PA Club, and Young Life, I have developed strong teamwork, communication, and leadership skills while connecting with people from different parts of the UD community. Working as an EMT has taught me how to stay calm, responsible, and attentive to other people's needs. I have also had the opportunity to shadow in hospitals and participate in clinical experiences in Ghana, which have helped me become more comfortable communicating with different people and understanding different perspectives. Overall, these experiences have made me an approachable, dependable, and well-rounded person who is willing to listen to others and represent their ideas and concerns.
I am involved in several different areas of campus, including Women's Club Soccer, Alpha Epsilon Delta, Pre-Med and Pre-PA Club, and Young Life. I also work as an EMT and am involved in volunteering at Colin's Lodge for adults with cognitive differences. Being involved in these different organizations has allowed me to meet people from different backgrounds and become more connected to the UD community.
I am running for SGA to serve as a dedicated voice for my community while bridging the gap between student government, the general student body, and the Multi Ethnic Education Engagement Center.
I am dedicated to uniting our campus by fostering a strong, inclusive sense of community.
My relevant experience includes serving as a Diversity Peer Educator, a Student Engagement Assistant within the Multi Ethnic Education Engagement Center, and the Social Media Chair on the NSBE Executive Board.
Outside of my campus leadership roles, I serve as a peer mentor, tutor students in the greater Dayton area, volunteer as a camera operator with a local church, and participate in intramural sports.
