I want to start talking initiatives, even minor ones, to make EIU campus green and eco-friendly.Ħ. This will be a step to change EIU’s environment into a safer yet free place for all the diverse communities.ĥ. I want to actually talk to students and hear from them about their wants and needs. As a governing body, we need to stop assuming the needs and wants of students. I want “less talking and more action” to be the motto of EIU. I want all EIU students Freshman through senior to have these skills, so that, when they get out in the real world they are fully prepared.Ĥ. These are skills required to survive in the outside world. I want to spread awareness about IPE, which are Inter Personal Educational skills. I will have informational and interactive events related to mental health topics.ģ. I want to make EIU a safe place, where we do not have any stigma about mental health issues.

However, I had control over a very few things/departments. “Having served in the Student Government for almost two years and holding different positions has helped me improve various things on campus. I know this will not be an easy job, but I believe that I am, with the help and support of the other Executive Board and Student Government members, our graduate advisor, our organization’s advisor, and the members of the Eastern Illinois University Student Body, I am more than capable of doing the job.” That is what I practice in my everyday life and I want to help make a difference on Eastern’s campus. The position of Student Body President is one where someone should be able to feel comfortable to come talk to that individual about anything at all and know that they will be heard. I want to make sure that the various areas of campus are represented and heard to the fullest extent. These individuals would provide me, if elected to this position, with feedback on upcoming Student Government matters as well as information about what is happening across campus. I also would want to reestablish the Presidential Cabinet, which is where a student representative from On campus, Off campus, a male and female Athlete, Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, National Panhellenic Council, Black Student Union, Latin American Student Organization, and possible other additions from other organizations may be appointed to the Cabinet and act as representatives from their respective areas. I also want to challenge myself and my fellow student leaders to talk with people more, learn about them, and do everything that we can to make sure they feel represented and included. ![]() It can be discussions about diversity, Black Lives Matter, mental health, sexual harassment and sexual assault, ways to study more efficiently, or just provide an opportunity to let students speak their mind in an environment where they will not be judged or criticized for what they believe or how they feel. I want to participate in discussions with students about what matters the most to them. I genuinely believe that every person’s voice is highly valuable. “My goals, both personally and if I were elected to the position of Student Body President, would to be to ensure that every student’s voice is heard.
