That wasn\u2019t just for fun. It was my way of keeping communication consistent, making sure you\u2019re informed and giving you a reason to actually stay engaged with Macaulay events.<\/p>\n<p>As your representative, I\u2019ve made it a priority to actually represent CSI. At council meetings, I\u2019ve brought up the challenges we face (especially commuting to the Macaulay building) and made sure our concerns are heard, not overlooked. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also shown up in person. Whether it\u2019s events like the Halloween party or other Macaulay events, I\u2019ve been there, talking to you guys, making connections and helping build a stronger sense of community at CSI and across campuses. Representation isn\u2019t just about meetings, it\u2019s about actually being present. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also tried to be someone you can come to whenever you need to, whether you have questions or need help finding resources or just want to know more about MSC. Having someone approachable and responsive matters, and I\u2019ve made that a priority.<\/p>\n<p>As Advertising Chair for the upcoming Macaulay Olympics, I worked to make sure CSI students weren\u2019t just hearing about events after they happened, but actually involved. I helped get students to participate in making content and feel like they were part of something bigger across Macaulay.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of council, my work with Macaulay Peace Action as Social Media and Outreach Coordinator has been very important. Through this, we have helped create spaces within Macaulay where students can engage with real-world issues, have meaningful conversations, and feel like they\u2019re part of something bigger and more impactful. This is about making Macaulay a place where students feel heard and supported beyond just academics.<\/p>\n<p>Why vote for me again:<br \/>\n&#8211; I\u2019ve already shown up and done the work<br \/>\n&#8211; I actively represent CSI and advocate for our concerns<br \/>\n&#8211; I\u2019ve increased CSI involvement in Macaulay events<br \/>\n&#8211; I\u2019m approachable and always willing to help<br \/>\n&#8211; I\u2019m committed to building a stronger, more connected community<\/p>\n<p>You voted for me once, and you\u2019ve seen the results.<\/p>\n<p>Vote for me again from March 16 &#8211; March 27!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello CSI Macaulay!!
