Why did you choose to join Senate?
I chose to join Student Senate because of the opportunity it affords any student to vocalize their ideas for the campus, and directly partake in the shared governance of the college. I have been a member of the Student Senate since my first semester here, and have served as the Associate Director of the Public Affairs Committee, Director of Academics, and President. I have also served on all but one of the All-College Committees for Dickinson, including the Academic program and Standards Committee (APSC), Information and Technology Services Committee (ITSC), and the Planning and Budget committee (PB). (NEW PARAGRAPH) I encourage all members of the Dickinson student body to become involved with the Student Senate because together we are provided the unique opportunity to not only vocalize concerns and ideas on for campus but also directly partake in the shared governance of the College. Being a member of the Senate means that you will have a voice at the table, a vote on important issues, and the ability to craft the school for not only your class but countless classes and students to come. (NEW PARAGRAPH) Even if Student Government isn’t something you see yourself participating in, there is no wrong way to try to get involved. Any member of campus is invited to come to any of our meetings on Tuesday evenings in the Social Hall.

Why did you choose to join Senate?
I chose to join the Student Senate because it provided the best means for me to have a positive impact on this campus. When I was applying to Dickinson the Shared Governance structure of the college was one of my biggest selling points and I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to serve on this body since my sophomore year (I tried to join freshman year but lost to the lovely Peter Brooks!).

Why did you choose to join Senate?
I chose to join Senate because I wanted to make a valuable impact on the Dickinson Community. Senate allows me to do so on an institutional level so I can improve the student experience on the largest scale possible, which is my goal as Director of Club Consulting. I believe that clubs are an integral part of student life, so I want to ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn, socialize, and create memories though all of the clubs that Dickinson has to offer.

Why did you choose to join Senate?
I was convinced to apply for a senators position in the fall ion my freshman year and have not regretted it since. I have been involved with Senate for all four years I’ve been here and have loved every chance I have gotten to be more involved. During my sophomore year I was the Director of Club Consulting and with the increased amount of responsibility I grew to appreciate the work we completed together as a committee. Now as Director of Campus Life I’m very excited to see what the committee will accomplishes together from continuing past projects to coming up with ones of our own. I chose to be a part of Senate because I wanted to enact change. Hearing students frustrations and having those of my own convinced me that inaction is a form of action and that you have to be willing to be a driving force of change when there isn’t one.

Why did you choose to join Senate?
I chose to join Student Senate my freshmen year because I wanted to meet fellow students and get involved at Dickinson on an institutional level. I have chosen to continue to be involved in Senate because of the relationships it has helped me foster with administrators and the change that we have been able to accomplish over the last three years.
