Why I Chose Staff Senate: My first two-year term as a staff senator commenced in 2023. I had been listening to staff members voice assorted concerns for several years and identified that there was both a lack of a unified voice and a knowledge gap on many of the same issues. I decided I could help by becoming involved and subsequently a resource and liaison to those around me. I am also now serving my second one-year term as the chair of the External Affairs Committee which also places me on the Executive Board. This additional responsibility has been quite enlightening and rewarding. I have gained personal fulfillment by understanding the university in a broader way and by meeting so many different people from all the various DASA departments and the university at large.
