Do you have any previous experience in Student Senate? If so, what was it?

As a part of the Events Committee, I am excited to make Senate more involved on campus through hosting events like Spring Days. Beyond that I would like to improve communication between Student Senate and the student body. Last week, we hosted a town hall event to get feedback on the Firepit Project and I believe that event was very informative and I would love to have more events like that in the future.”
