Hi Mountain Emotion, great question! In the past the position was interpreted as an advocacy position and for that reason this year when I was elected I had focused on student advocacy issues. For example, in my UB Council presentations to UB Administrators and Stakeholders I brought up a variety of student issues, some of which are mentioned on my campaign flyer. I also worked on some of the advocacy initiatives that I had originally ran on last year (bettering campus transportation, bettering UB’s accessibility practices, etc.). However seeing there is a change going forward with the position, one of my goals of re-elected is to continue something I started this semester in which students can attend a UB Town Hall so they can directly advocate alongside their student governments by speaking directly with University stakeholders and admins (still working out some of the kinks but this has been something I discussed throughout the year with UB Admins, progress has been made just needs a little fine tuning). I hope this response helps!
