Long Term
Social Spaces
The past year at Dartmouth has been defined by a prevalent and pressing issue: the need for alternative social spaces. As SA President, I will focus on understanding exactly what these social needs and concerns are and, in time, translate this information into the innovative use of social spaces.
I would push for:
- Larger and better dining facilities conducive to more social interaction as part of the Thayer replacement plan
- Lifting the moratorium on local sororities and fraternities.
- Creating fluid and neutral social spaces controlled by students
Greek Financial Aid
Becoming a member of the Greek system is extremely expensive. In order to decrease this financial burden on students, I would support the creation of a Greek-wide financial aid system that would grant scholarships to students who demonstrate need.
Sustainability
There is a growing demand for greater efforts towards sustainability at Dartmouth, and I believe that SA should meet these needs. To continue the progress that has been made, I will strengthen support for the new Sustainable Living Center. In addition, I would support sustainability efforts in new dining facilities and encourage the College to pursue greener goals.
Academics
To address the academic needs of the community, I would continue to support the accessibility of syllabi online and continue the SA course guide incentive program. As SA President, I also would pressure the administration to alleviate overcrowding of certain departments.
Student Governance Council
I would first like to create a Student Governance Council. The ultimate goal would be to bring various campus organizations together to create better-designed programs, prevent fiscal overlaps, and improve discussion within both governance and the Dartmouth community as a whole
My background reflects a dedication and commitment to addressing campus issues from all angles and my experience will help me achieve my goals. My past and present duties include: Vice President of Student Life, VP of Alumni Affairs, and now VP of KDE. I also have experience as an active member of the Social Life Committee, Class Council, the DOC Trips program, and Panarchy. I have learned that three aspects best improve the collective standard of life on campus. As SA president, I will focus on communication, accessibility, and transparency to improve the Dartmouth experience for all students.
