Your new Graduate Senator!

Hello all,

It's been a while, I know. I apologize, but I honestly haven't had much to report except for the fact that I'm still extremely busy.

One of the things I've always loved about UIS is that, since it's such a small campus, it's very easy to get involved with different organzations and you have a lot of leadership opportunities. Now, while I may be wary of anyone who makes an intentional grab for power, I do know that cultivating strong leaders is very important. Especially in our generation. At UIS, you can easily be given the chance to help mold our campus and your input is almost always appreciated and requested. Your voice can be heard here.

So, I've been the Chair of Publicity for the Student Activities Committee, the vice-president and president of Sankofa, a Board Member on the Inter-Club Council Board and Graduate Council, Campus Ambassador for the Brothers and Sisters United Against HIV/AIDS initiative, and now I can add Graduate Senator in the Student Government Association to that!

That's right y'all. I was most graciously appointed to that position on Sunday evening by our lovely SGA. And thank goodness, cause a sista could NOT handle a campaign. Not my style. The mudslinging, the posters, the forums..........nah.

So, without sounding all politicized, I'll just say that my aim in my new position is to assist in taking any actions that will help the student body at large and graduate students specifically. So, if you have some issues, let a sista know! I'm here to serve you!
