What are some goals and/or initiatives you are excited to work on this term?: The initiatives and goals I have for this administration are to empower the student body to engage in civic activities. As one of my primary objectives, I aim to equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to increase political efficacy. Furthermore, I am committed to launching a student-run podcast interviewing government officials to increase understanding of the political process. Lastly, I envision to bolster the representation of youth within government spheres through advocacy on behalf of the University of Iowa undergraduate students.
