Hi Macaulay Beavers!
My name is Arvin, and I’m running to be your 2030 MSC representative for City College! A little about me is that I’ll be studying Philosophy on the pre-law track, I love anime (Tokyo revengers 🔥), and I’m always watching the NBA (you’ll never guess my favorite active player).
What do I want to do as your 2030 rep??
I want to advocate for further investment into OMNY cards for Macaulay and CUNY students. I am appalled by how NYC has approached making transportation easier for public university students and really believe that more funding can be moved towards funding at least honors college students.
I hope to further unify our 8 college communities underneath Macaulay. Many people don’t know this until their upperclassmen years, but we get a separate graduation with our Macaulay peers! Graduation isn’t the time to recognize that we attend two colleges with two communities. The M Line group has tons of ideas underway on how we can unite the Macaulay further academically and socially.
How have I been a leader in the past?
Throughout High School I pursued one of my passions in environmental justice by joining a nonprofit called Kids Fight Climate Change. By my second year I was promoted to Director of External Affairs, due to my dedication in expanding our in-school educational seminars to FIVE different states. What’s more is that during my time in this organization, we were recognized by the United Nation on several occasions and accepted to be a Spectator Delegation at several UN Climate Change Conferences—most recently COP31 in Brazil!
In my junior year of High School I pursued an internship with the NYPD. Within this opportunity, my chief assignment was to assist in planning an annual community bonding event between my precinct and the local community of Bayside, Queens. Through my efforts, we were able to get over 600 community attendees as well as over 400 active duty officers!
Although I’ve contributed to a multitude of different organizations, I’ve chosen to highlight these two because of their community focus: the same aspirations I believe that I can foster among City College and Macaulay through the Scholars Council.
So please consider voting for me, Arvin Ghai, for your Macaulay Scholars Council 2030 Rep!!!
By the way I’m running alongside The M Line! We are a group of 2030s from each school that are running together to create a more unified MSC. If you’re from a different campus, please check out your campus candidate that’s running under The M Line!!!
