Why I am running for Student Trustee

So, why am I running for Cornell Student Trustee? Simply put, to promote issues that are important to Cornellians. I feel that in order to put a spotlight on these important issues, we need a candidate that will champion and advocate for students' concerns. These issues are:



  1. Strengthening Cornell's image in the Ivy League.
  2. Creating more flexibility within Cornell's core curriculum.
  3. Committing to an on-campus housing program that can serve and accommodate more students.
  4. Implementing a Broader wireless internet network.
  5. Fighting for lower prices within Cornell Dining.
  6. Cornell Big Red Bucks should be accepted at all Cornell establishments, including the Cornell Store, Temple of Zeus, and Golden Dragon for all food and non-food items.
  7. Supporting meal equivalency in that a student should not be forced into eating an exact number of of meals at an all-you-can-eat establishment.
  8. Meeting the needs of students at a personal level.
