Alina Chauhan
I’m running to be your First Year Student Council Representative to ensure our voices are heard and our needs are met.
My priorities are clear: Student Well-being: I’ll advocate for more accessible mental health resources and academic support, ensuring every student can thrive during this critical transition.
2. Women’s Rights and Gender Equality: I’m committed to advancing gender equality on campus. This includes advocating for stronger policies against sexual harassment, creating safe spaces, and ensuring equal opportunities for all, regardless of gender.
3. Solidarity with Palestine: We must stand in solidarity with oppressed communities globally. I will raise awareness about the Palestinian struggle and advocate for our university to divest from the weapons industry and launch more scholarships for Palestinian students.
4. Transparency: I will ensure the student council is accountable to you, with regular updates and open forums to keep you informed.Together, we can build a community that is supportive, inclusive, and just. I humbly ask for your vote.
Yours sincerely,
Alina Chauhan
