Hello my fellow Bulldogs 🐕! My name is Nihal, I\u2019m majoring in Bio on the premed track and I\u2019m excited to be running for the Macaulay Scholars Council as the Brooklyn college representative!<\/p>\n
To tell you the truth, I\u2019ve never been involved in student government, so this is entirely new to me. Now while I may be new to student government, I\u2019m definitely not new to leadership, management, and dedicated service. <\/p>\n
More specifically, my experience is primarily based on taking care of people and helping them progress. As a highschooler, I worked for JEVAC as an EMT and dispatcher, while also serving their Youth Corps in different officer positions such as Captain, Lieutenant, and Secretary. It was here that I learned how to operate in high-pressure situations, advocate, and most importantly, learn to listen. What\u2019s more is, I was Branch director for a tutoring organization, managing over 50 students and 15 tutors which helped me in starting my own private tutoring service earning me $3000, all the while I accumulated an additional 500 hours of volunteer tutoring service under my belt through SMOA. It was through these roles I learned what it means to serve student needs and form an initiative. <\/p>\n
Therefore, I can confidently say that regardless of my lack of experience in student government, I 100% have the communication and management skills required as your council representative. <\/p>\n
If elected, I\u2019ll try my best to achieve the following:
\nCampus sports: As a huge basketball and football fan, being someone who played in high school and recreationally, I can say sports are a big part of my life. This year was a great year for us New Yorkers, (not if you\u2019re a jets, mets, or nets fan, sorry 😅), which is why I\u2019d like to host inter-campus sporting events and host private watch parties.
\nOpportunities board: A lot of people neglect extracurriculars as they\u2019re too difficult to find or even go in depth with, which is why I want to launch a monthly mailing list containing internships, events, and resources tailored for each general field, including Medicine🏥, STEM📐, Arts🕺🎨, humanities📕, business💼, etc!
\nSafety: Utilizing my medical background, I hope to incorporate monthly first-aid practice classes in-order to share crucial life-saving skills. ⚕⚕⚕
\nAcademics: I\u2019ll try my best to organize weekly study spaces which will be stocked with snacks, so that everyone can lock in 📚
\nA Vocal advocate: I will try my best in securing the CUNY OMNY cards and bringing back the Macbooks. Also, I\u2019ll be creating a google form, so that you guys may bring up any concerns or ideas.<\/p>\n
Did I mention, I\u2019m running as a member of the M line? Stay on the right track and if you’re from a different campus, please check out your campus candidate that’s running under The M Line!!!<\/p>\n
With everything being said, I\u2019m ready to forge a supportive and connected community at Brooklyn College. I would be honored to serve as your representative! Btw if you want to connect with me reach out to @nihalr._<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
