“As a member of the Board this year, my primary goals revolve around enhancing student experiences in key areas. I aim to work closely with college administration and external partners to improve access to affordable and convenient student housing options. By advocating for expanded housing resources, I hope to alleviate some challenges students face in securing suitable accommodation. Additionally, I'm committed to ensuring that every student has access to financial support opportunities that can ease the burden of tuition fees and living expenses through collaborative efforts. Furthermore, Diversity and inclusion are vital aspects of our campus community. I will strive to promote cultural representation and foster an inclusive environment where all students feel valued and respected through cultural events, initiatives, and student groups that celebrate diversity and promote cross-cultural understanding. By focusing on these areas, I believe we can create a more supportive and inclusive environment that empowers students to thrive academically, socially, and personally.”
