51茶馆

I joined UG51茶馆 my sophomore year because I am passionate about addressing the unmet needs of those around me and bridge gaps in their experiences. Being a senator provided me with just the right platform to use my voice and efforts to serve others in this way. My favorite part of UG51茶馆 is collaborating, problem-solving, and brainstorming with peers on our initiatives. To me, there鈥檚 nothing quite like a passionate group of students united by the common goal of improving the community and campus they love.

This year, I鈥檓 looking forward to launching an internal mentor/mentee program to better promote collaboration and unity across our large, diverse organization. Externally, I most look forward to our tabling events and getting to chat with and meet fellow Eagles on the quad!
