My name is Apsana Rai and I am excited to be running as your Class President! A little about me: I’ve been here for almost all my life! I moved to Baltimore MD when I was 3 years old from my home country Nepal so I am a Baltimore Native! I am currently a Bio-psychology major on a Pre-Med track. I love meeting new people, listening to music, and exploring new places and experiences. I am someone who values a sense of belonging, community and connections very deeply. As we continue our journey here at Loyola, one of my biggest goals is to make sure our class stays connected. I can understand that transitioning into college may feel daunting but I want to be that bridge to help create an environment where everyone feels like they belong and feels comfortable meeting new people and making new connections. When elected, I would love to organize interactive class events and social gatherings creating more opportunities for us to connect on a deeper level. Whether you’re shy or very outgoing or somewhere in between I want everyone to feel like they have a place in our community. My goal for Class of 2030 is for everyone to be seen, heard, included, and connected. Imagine our class being the first class ever to be able to recognize each and everyone and know them! I truly believe this will happen. Thank you for taking the time to read my statement and giving me the opportunity to run! As President Sawyer would say, God Bless and Go Hounds!
My name is Van Topjian, an Armenian-American student from the Eastern Shore of Maryland (by way of growing up on a boat and visiting over 25 countries). I’m running for Freshman Class President to bring a real, honest voice to the Class of 2030. I’m not here to deliver boring, empty speeches. My platform focuses entirely on the daily hassles and missing perks that affect freshman life: Better Baltimore Shuttles: Working to expand weekend shuttle routes into the city so we can hit up free events or local games without spending half our money on Ubers. Actual Fun Events: Lobbying for fun freshman events like a massive Quad Movie Night for halloween with a scary movie chosen by poll of course. Another idea, of mine a "Reverse Trick-or-Treat" where our squad hits the dorm halls during Halloween week to hand out midterm study candy. Boulder Line Fixes: Pushing for practical solutions so we aren't standing in line all the way down the stairs just to grab lunch. Extended Iggy's Hours: Advocating for later Iggy's hours for night owls, post-study snacks, and late hangs. Upgraded Laundry and A/C: Pressing maintenance to finally address the dryers that take multiple cycles to dry a single load. I’m not doing this to build a resumé. I’m doing it to fix what actually bugs us. Waiting in the Boulder line takes forever, but voting for me takes two seconds. Sincerely, Van Topjian Candidate for Freshman Class President
My name is Nick Yates and I am a Psychology major originally from Prince George’s County, Maryland. I plan on being involved in BSA, the fashion show, Psychology Club, Campus Content Creators, CCSJ, and of course, the Student Government Association. I made the executive decision to run for SGA President this year so I could get to know more people and be a familiar face on campus. Nothing makes me more comfortable than knowing people can trust me and speak to me about their problems and concerns. If I were elected to be the Class of 2030’s Class President, my goals consist of the baseline and more. I will ensure a more inclusive and social environment, everyone on campus will feel welcomed and involved. Nothing should make students have second thoughts when thinking about joining a group or activity they were once involved in. We can also be proactive about this, with essential service days to get to know others while finding light in service, students will connect with each other and grow. The goal this year should be settling in, finding your people, and knowing one another over all. Thank you and vote for Nick Yates for Class of 2030 SGA President!
My name is Kingston, but growing up my nickname was “the mayor.” I think that nickname says a lot about who I am. Throughout my years in school, sports, church, and work, I have always enjoyed bringing people together and being someone others can count on. My experiences have taught me that creating a strong community takes teamwork, communication, and paying attention to the small things. Through my work in construction, I learned that even the biggest problems can come from one small detail being overlooked. That lesson has stuck with me. I believe being a leader means listening to people, noticing what others might miss, and finding ways to make things better. My time working at a juice bar on a college campus also gave me a unique perspective. I was able to interact with college students every day and learn more about what makes a college community feel welcoming and connected before I became a college student myself. Through church, I have also used my communication and multimedia skills to help bring people together and promote events and activities. If given the opportunity to serve in SGA, I want to be someone who listens. Every student has a voice, and every voice has something valuable to add. I want to help build a stronger connection between students and administration while making sure students feel heard. I may have started out as “the mayor,” but now I want to be a builder of an even better community for my fellow Hounds.
My name is Bella, and I’m running for President because I want to help make Loyola a place where students feel supported, heard, and comfortable asking for help. Through high school, I spent a lot of time with my school’s SGA as Vice President advocating for mental health. There, I saw firsthand how much of a difference it can make when students know that someone is willing to listen and take their concerns seriously. That experience is a major reason why I want to continue that work in college. If elected, my main goal would be to make student mental health a more visibly consistent priority on campus. I want to work toward making mental health resources easier to find and understand, encouraging open conversations about mental health, and creating opportunities for students to connect with each other and available support. I also want to ensure that our student government is a place where students can bring concerns that might otherwise go unheard. I’m running not because I have all the answers, but because I am willing to listen, speak up, and work with other students to make meaningful changes. College is a huge transition, and I want every student to feel like they have a community behind them for support. As your President, I hope to use my experience and passion for mental health to make Loyola a more supportive and connected community for everyone.
My name is Xavier Minor and I am running to be YOUR class president. Under my platform, M.A.J.O.R, I’ll be aiming to implement Mindfulness, Advocacy, Justice, Opportunities, and Representation into my presidency. Mindfulness, meaning a push for class-wide awareness of the mental health resources on campus and organizing regular wellness events. Advocacy, meaning encouragement to the entire class to attend executive board meetings to raise concerns directly, a Google Form for if you choose to speak your voice anonymously, and acting as a direct liaison between the class and our faculty/admin. Justice, meaning a push for transparent, fair processes around class funding, elections, and decision-making, working alongside the DEIJ committee of SGA as well as other groups like ACA, BSA, etc., and supporting initiatives that address specific inequities on campus. Opportunities, meaning increasing the number and variety of social events for different interests, ensuring all students can feel included. Finally, Representation, meaning making sure class leadership reflects the wants, needs, and actual diversity of the class, actively reaching out to quieter and less involved members of the class, and regularly checking in with different groups of freshmen and clubs so as to understand the fullest range of concerns. If all of this sounds like something you want to be a part of YOUR freshman year, vote Xavier Minor for Class of 2030 President for a MAJOR change.
My name is Zach Frattali, and I’m thrilled to be running for Freshman Class President of Loyola University Maryland. My priorities are simple. I want to make campus cleaner, improve our dining experience, and address concerns that students have raised about the shuttle system, dietary accessibility, and the availability of women's care products around campus. Since arriving at Loyola, I’ve heard countless positive things about our school, along with reasonable complaints and ideas for improvement from my fellow freshmen. My goal is to bring those ideas together and work toward a better Loyola Maryland, not just for freshman, but for all students. In high school, I was a varsity wrestler for three years with no prior experience. I'm used to being an underdog and getting back up even after a loss. If I am elected by my freshman peers, I pledge to make persistent efforts towards the change that my class desires, no matter the setbacks that we face. Vote for me once, and I'll vote for freshman until the last minute of my term.
My name is Amalie-Laeah Figueroa, and I am from the U.S. Virgin Islands. I came to Loyola Maryland with the intention of becoming involved in the community of Baltimore, building meaningful relationships, and pursuing my passion for Speech-Language Pathology. As a student, I understand that everyone has different experiences and ideas about what could improve our Loyola community. If elected as an Assembly member, I want to be someone students feel comfortable coming to. I want to listen to your concerns and ideas while working alongside students and administration to help create meaningful changes on campus. Throughout high school, I had the opportunity to take on leadership roles, including serving as co-president of Melanin Magic, a safe space for members of the BIPOC community, playing volleyball and basketball for the full four years, being a JV basketball manager, participating in many other clubs, and being a part of the student council for my junior and senior years. These experiences taught me the importance of communication, responsibility, teamwork, and making sure everyone feels heard and included. As a first-year student, I am excited to learn more about Loyola and become an active part of our community. I hope to bring my experiences, culture, and dedication to Assembly and represent the voices of my fellow students. I would be honored to earn your vote and serve our Loyola community! Don’t be an anomaly vote for Amalie!!
My name is Daniel McGuire, and I am a first-year student from Connecticut. I am running for Assembly for the Class of 2030 because I believe I can help shape the culture we are building as Loyola University's new leaders. As a sacristan, first-year mentor, and advocate for school culture at many public and in-school events throughout high school, I have advocated for the needs of other students in my community and worked with fellow student leaders to foster that community. I want to continue building a sense of family amongst the Class and help us feel connected to the entire Loyola community. If I am elected to the Class of 2030 Assembly, I will focus on planning fun, genuinely interesting events for all while working with my fellow assembly members and the class president to address pressing community issues. Everyone should be proud to call Loyola University "home."
Hello, my name is Juleysi Teo Godoy. I am of Hispanic origin, specifically from Guatemala. I love arts and crafts. In my free time, I love making different types of crafts, such as rose arrangements and painting portraits. I am passionate about many things, but one of the things I am most passionate about is service. Throughout my high school years and recently, I have loved helping others, specifically in my community. In February, I went to El Salvador for a service event where we gifted backpacks and Crocs to kids and families in need. During the event, I helped with the organization of the school where we would be located. We not only provided gifts, but we also helped families by providing them with a dental checkup. I am also a person who loves to travel and meet new people. Different cultures fascinate me a lot. It is interesting how diverse the world is! I am running for SGA because I want to campaign for creative and diverse events that promote unity. As a first-generation student, I understand the difficulties of being in a new environment. I want to help make sure students know about resources available to them and create events that bring students together and make the campus feel more like home. Being in the Assembly would allow me to use my creativity, leadership, and experience organizing events that people actually want to attend. In my service experience, I've always helped with planning things when it came to service events. I want to make sure that these events create friendships among our peers, help us experience new cultures, and make memories of our college journey. I would also love to represent students who may not always be comfortable speaking up, helping to make their college experience more memorable.
My name is Lauren Arcenas, I’m from Los Angeles, CA and I’m running for Assembly. Throughout high school, I’ve always found myself getting involved, speaking up, and looking for ways to make a difference. I’ve been involved in many leadership roles through ministries, clubs, athletics, serving as an ambassador for children’s hospital los angeles, volunteering with red cross and more. I even appeared on the cbs news for my advocacy. A big part of who I am is service, which is one of the reasons I chose Loyola in the first place. I want Loyola to feel like home, a place where we aren’t embarrassed to show up, get involved, or try something new. I want to plan events that people actually want to go to. Whether that’s movie nights, games, trivia, adventures, or events to help us destress, like goat or puppy yoga, I want to create opportunities for us to step away from schoolwork and just enjoy being together. And yes, goat or puppy yoga is definitely something I would LOVE to bring to campus. Faith is also really important to me, and I want to carry Loyola’s Jesuit values of community, service, and finding God in all things into the way I serve our class. St. Ignatius Loyola said, “Go forth and set the world on fire,” and to me, that means not just having ideas, but actually doing something with them. I’m not running for the title, but because I genuinely enjoy creating memories with the people around me and bringing people together. I want to hear what you want to see at Loyola and turn those ideas into reality. So if you have a plan, an idea, or even something you wish we did on campus, I want to hear it. Got a plan? Lauren can.
Hey it’s Sienna Dominguez! I am running for Assembly because I love participating in fun activities with new people and believe that well-executed traditions are what forms a community, which is what I hope to strengthen when I am appointed to this role. In my last school I was involved in National Math Honor Society and National Arts Honor Society. Both dealt with meeting with my club members every week as well as attending after-school events, like assisting elementary and middle schoolers with Christmas crafts or other projects. (I love arts and crafts!) More personally, I am a primary caretaker of my younger brother, household, and my cat, Lucky. Divulging more into this, I cover all my brother’s needs like helping him with his struggles in school or taking him to places. Starting last October, my cat, Lucky, became affected by an illness. With much effort and care, he’s now made it past his 10th birthday, and our time together within his lifespan has seemed to increase back to normal. I’m enthusiastic about the upcoming events for this year, especially anything to do with…food. I enjoyed the snow-cones we had a couple weeks ago and can’t wait for more food related events! If I were to be elected, my goals are: 1. Reviving an old tradition (or starting a new one) that can be used for the future 2. Adding a smaller group tradition for first-generation and transfer students after Initium Week 3. Plan events with more favorable foods as well as adding trending games or themes (open to suggestions!!) 4. Make events more accessible for commuters. My purpose in running is simple: To plan and execute events that all undergraduates could see themselves in. It would be an honor to work with my class with this position!
My name is Lailo Solieva and I am running for Assembly because I want all of our voices to be heard and make the college experience better for everyone! Starting college is a new experience for all of us and I believe students should have to feel at home and very comfortable when sharing their ideas, concerns, and experiences. I want to become somebody who listens to students and makes sure their voices are heard. I know that representing is not just about speaking for others, but it's also listening to each other, working together, and actually understanding what students need. Understanding the importance of getting involved and being there for my community is very important for me and I want to be able to implement that at Loyola. Through student organizations, leadership positions, volunteering, and working with other students I would like to broaden my experience and apply my previous knowledge to make a difference and help unite the community. If elected to Assembly, I want to help create more opportunities for students to connect, share their ideas, and feel like home on campus. I want to make sure students are never bored, feel alone, or feel like not at home. I am willing to bring up those possible concerns forward. I am not running for just a title, I am running because I want to be involved in my college community and represent the students around me. I would be grateful for the opportunity to serve, listen, and work with fellow students and the government student body to make our campus a beautiful place where everyone feels heard and included. Thank you for your support and your vote!
Sam Daley needs YOU to vote for him for assembly. As a member of the Assembly, I will represent the student body to the best of my ability and make sure everyone's voice is heard. Your best interest is my top priority.
I am Julia Minghenelli and I am running to be your senator for the 2026/2027 school year! A little bit about me is that I am from Maplewood, New Jersey and have lived there all my life. I enjoy reading, socializing, drawing, and exercising. During my time here at Loyola, I plan on majoring in forensic science, being part of the Student Government Association, and volunteering for CCSJ. Furthermore, in high school I played field hockey, was part of the yearbook club, and participated in making our school’s literary magazine. When I joined the clubs and sports team, I improved my leadership and social skills, formed relationships with teachers and faculty, positively influenced my classmates high school experience, and gained a sense of belonging and confidence. It was important for me to be part of the school’s community. Consequently, I aspire to make an impact on the Loyola community and Baltimore area, personally grow, and form relationships with my peers. If I was your senator, I would proactively make your college experience better. For example, I hope to challenge the rules that say ottomans and added shower appliances are prohibited. I also want to influence our community in a deeper way by listening to your individual concerns and getting more people to give back to the community. For example, hosting a Thanksgiving food drive and Christmas toy drive for children who are less fortunate. What makes my approach different is that I will address the issues individual students do not wish to challenge alone, instill a greater sense of community and belonging, and impact the broader Baltimore community. If you vote for me, I promise to attentively listen to your concerns and use my privileges to help those in need.
My name is Summer Mckenzie Eaddy, and I'm a freshman at Loyola University Maryland majoring in Biology on the pre-dental track. Alongside my studies, I have experience as a CNA and PCT, where I've developed hands-on patient-care knowledge, including taking vital signs, assisting with activities of daily living, blood draws, EKGs, infection control, and communicating with patients as part of a healthcare team. As of recently, I’ve been privileged with the opportunity to conduct research at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry which is something I've been looking forward to. In my free time, I enjoy going on hikes, hanging out with my friends and eating ! I’ve wanted to run for student government for many reasons such as student involvement, activity planning but most importantly to hear students-and put their words into actions as best as possible. I’d like to take every opportunity possible to advocate for the class of 2030’s concerns, therefore I'd like to do so now. A freshman who would like to remain anonymous, resides in Hammerman Hall who’s been experiencing a multitude of maintenance issues, yet the response to them hasn’t been timely at all. So, with me a part of the Student government association serving on the Senate board, I suggest we make a petition, and look into the budgets associated with the matter further to prevent the feeling of neglect towards our students as well as Hammerman Hall. So, let this serve as a foreshadow into what I plan to contribute as a senator for the student body, and I look forward to working with the class of 2030!
my name is Tilly Dettling, and I am running for Freshman Class Senate. I am from Portland, Oregon, a BioHealth Sciences major, and a member of Loyola’s Cross Country and Track team. In high school, I served as my class Co-President for three years and served as the All-Student Body President in my senior year. My high school Student Government experience taught me how to work within a team and delegate tasks to effectively run events and ensure the school’s Constitution was upheld and followed effectively. I was also directly involved in the treasury activities of my Student Government Association, giving me experience managing and distributing funds, which I hope to bring to the Senate position at Loyola. As a Senator, I plan to use my analytical thinking and previous leadership experience to help manage SGA funds responsibly and ensure that resources are distributed effectively among the clubs and organizations that contribute to the Loyola community. I also aim to help bridge the gap between students, administration, and the Student Government so that Senate decisions accurately reflect the interests and needs of the Loyola student body. In all, I am running for Class Senate because I want to make a meaningful contribution to the Loyola community. College is an exciting time of transition, and I want to ensure students have access to the support, opportunities, and activities they need to feel connected and involved. I would be honored to bring my experience, perspective, and commitment to service to Loyola’s Freshman Class Senate. Vote Tilly!
My name is Ryan Orr, and I am running for Senate because I want to take a more active role in the Loyola community and represent the students around me. One of the things that drew me to Loyola was its strong sense of community, and since arriving on campus, I’ve wanted to find a way to contribute to it. I’ve learned through my jobs, volunteering, and other experiences that leadership isn’t about being above everyone else. To me, it means being someone who listens, communicates, and works alongside others. Working with people who have different personalities and perspectives has taught me how important it is to hear everyone out before making decisions. That is the same approach I would bring to Senate. If elected, I want to be someone my classmates actually feel comfortable talking to. Whether someone has an idea for improving campus, a concern they feel isn’t being addressed, or simply a suggestion, I want to listen and make sure those voices reach SGA. I also want to work with other senators to find realistic solutions that benefit our class and the Loyola community as a whole. I’m excited to meet more people, challenge myself as a leader, and become more involved at Loyola. I would be grateful for the opportunity to represent my classmates and make the most of the position by being an active and dependable voice in the Senate.
My goal is to create a space where students reach for opportunities and play an active part in their community. From the close-knit friendships to our entire student body community, I strive to foster a strong family here at Loyola, fervently advocating for the class of 2030. I will listen to and advocate for the student body over any and every issue that may arise. Your voices and my action is the only way to move both our class and the entire Loyola community forward. Keeping in line with our school’s Jesuit values, I will champion intentionality, transparency, truth, and hard work for this position. As a commuter student, I understand how easy it can be to feel disconnected from campus life. If elected, I will work to strengthen opportunities for commuters to build community and feel fully included in the Loyola experience. I also want to advocate for expanded and more accessible dining options by exploring opportunities to bring additional food choices to campus and ensuring student needs are reflected in conversations about campus services. Most importantly, I will use my position in the Senate to listen, communicate, and act on the concerns students bring forward, whether they involve student life, academics, campus policies, or the greater Baltimore community. Representation is more than holding a title; it is showing up consistently, listening intentionally, and making sure every student knows their voice matters.
My name is Sydney Dougherty, and I am running for senator because every club and organization deserves to be heard. School is more than just exams, assignments, and homework, and I intend to highlight various aspects of what our school has to offer to create a positive, and fun social life for all students. If elected I will make sure we create an inclusive, and safe environment for students and faculty. Growing up incredibly involved has taught me that minor changes can make a stark difference. In the past, I have always been the first to jump at the chance of different leadership roles. Throughout all my roles, I have gained my best attributes thus far and have always done my best work while leading my peers. I am asking for your support because I am ready to do what's best for you. I will work hard, listen, and represent the SGA with pride. Together we can make our school a step above!
My name is Chris Davis! I would love to run for class senate to highlight Loyola's diversity and get people who look like me, act like me, and talk like me integrated into important spaces like SGA. I really want more voices of POC and LGBTQIA+ in those high-level spaces, and I know I have what it takes to go all the way.
Coming from a high school with almost 3000 students, I had to find a way for students' voices to be heard on a greater scale while keeping inclusivity a priority. As first year students, it's easy to get lost in the endless amount of events on the Bridge, figuring out how to spend free time, while also juggling the responsibilities that come with being a student and adult. Some may be coming from a small school where Loyola’s big class size may be intimidating or for others this may be familiar. For any student’s background, I want to represent this class, responsibly, as a candidate for senate. Whether it’s through a club seeking funds for an exciting field trip, or helping both the General Assembly and Class Presidents organize our budget, I will handle every action, as Senator, both intricately and attentively as being involved through student government is second nature to me. During high school, I spent all four years as a general member of the SGA along with collaborating with my school’s student government as President of the Minority Scholars Program. I also served as treasurer for Women in STEM during their 2025-2026 club year where I analyzed the clubs budget and extra funds through planning fundraisers. During my time in those roles, I developed high organizational, communicative, and outreach skills that can transfer into the role as Senate in Loyola’s SGA. #indiraforsenate
My name is Ganna Moussa, and I’m running for Senate for the Class of 2030 because I would love the opportunity to serve my fellow classmates and make sure their concerns are heard. If you don’t know exactly what the Senate does, senators work with SGA, the Loyola administration, and the Loyola community on things that affect students. This includes things like helping manage funding for student clubs and handling parking ticket appeals. I believe I would be a good person for this position because, first, I’m a commuter student, so I understand firsthand the absolute terror of trying to find parking every morning. I know what it’s like to drive around looking for a spot while also worrying about making it to class on time. I also really love getting involved on campus, especially through clubs. When I first started looking through all the clubs Loyola had and saw ones for my culture, my interests, sports, and so many random things people enjoy, it made me feel like there was a place for me and for everyone here. So if you see me around campus, please come talk to me and tell me what annoys you or what you think needs to change. I can’t promise I can fix everything, but I can promise that I’ll listen, speak up, and try my best to get your concerns addressed. Vote Ganna for Class of 2030 Senate!
My name is Luca Truitt, I'm running to represent the Loyola class of 2030 as your SGA senator. I'm determined to build a better and stronger community, while helping every student feel supported, included, and empowered to succeed. As an athlete and former team captain I understand what effective leadership requires. I’m not running to add a title to my resume, I’m running to deliver results for our class. I want every Loyola student to have a voice. Every student deserves a senator they can confidently approach with ideas, questions, or concerns. When elected, my mission is to actively seek student feedback and turn it to meaningful action. Your voice. Your campus. Your senator. Communication builds strong communities, which is why it will be central to my work as senator to understand each individual student’s circumstance when evaluating parking ticket appeals, and advocate for a fair, transparent club appropriation process. This will give clubs and student organizations a fair opportunity to grow, host events, and strengthen campus life. Most importantly, I will be YOUR senator, any decision I make will be based on how you can benefit. I would be honored to earn your vote and serve as your voice for SGA senator for class of 2030. Vote Luca Truitt.
My name is Monica Centeno, and I am honored to be a candidate for Senator on the Loyola Student Government Association. As a candidate for this position, I recognize that it is a privilege and responsibility to have an active role in the governance of our university. I am a Maryland native and grew up in the outer part of Baltimore. I am proud to be a first-generation student at Loyola and understand how challenging the college journey can be. My intended major is Biochemistry, and I plan to minor in Finance or Theology. I chose to call Loyola home because of its academic richness, Jesuit values, and the university’s mission for students to prosper. I enjoy connecting with my professors, having fun with my friends on the quad, and attending Mass when I feel anxious about an assignment. I am running for senator because I want the ambitious initiatives of the class of 2030 to be acknowledged by the University. I know that our freshman class is composed of talented, intelligent, and disciplined student leaders. If elected, I will listen to the objectives of every club on campus and provide the best appropriations that will benefit all freshman students. I understand that the University has policies and procedures all students must follow. But before taking action, as senator, I will listen to the students' perspective and acknowledge their well-being. Most importantly, as a student leader, I will strive to make sure all students succeed academically and while feeling included. I know academics are important, but I want students to enjoy time with friends and schedule some time to focus on their well-being. I will work with other members and the Loyola administration to enrich the experience for the class of 2030. Vote Monica Centeno, Class of 2030 Senate!
My passion is simple, service and helping others. Between my Biochemistry classes, ROTC training, and current service in the Maryland Army National Guard, I know the value of hard work, discipline, and responsibility. My background working in healthcare as a nursing assistant also taught me how to listen to people and take care of their real, everyday needs. As SGA Senator, my job would be to make sure our student funds are handled fairly and used where they matter most. I already have hands-on experience with financial management and practical administration, so I know how important it is to keep things organized and transparent. If elected Senator, I will focus on clear funding making it easier for student clubs to get the money they need for events. Smart Budgeting by managing student fees and club budgets with honesty and accuracy. Finally real support by cutting through confusing paperwork so campus groups can thrive. I bring strong discipline, practical experience, and a genuine desire to serve our campus. I’d be honored to have your vote for SGA Senate!
My name is Mia Melgar, and I am running for Class of 2030 Senator. I plan to be a messenger for our class and enrich our daily experience at Loyola. Representation matters, especially when it comes from someone who understands the student body. As a former Club Founder and daily commuter, I am directly familiar with the club chartering process and the frustration of campus parking rules. In the Senate, I will advocate for transparent club funding, streamlined approvals, and fairer parking policies. I also plan to address off-campus transportation options (I know the campus dining can get repetitive), bring more class-wide events to the quad to give us a break from academic stress, and finally close the communication gap between Student Government and the student body. Having served as National Honor Society Vice President and in Student Government throughout high school, I bring some leadership experience to the table. I hope to be your voice this year, Class of 2030!
