Thank you to everyone who voted for me in our Student Council elections. A year ago, I would not have expected to be elected the leader of anything, let alone a group of students as talented and capable as the one here. Congratulations to everyone else who won! I think soon we will be getting to know each other very well.
Everyone else who ran, for every position, also deserves recognition for their investment in our collective future here at IVI, especially Mímir, who suggested the council in the first place. I especially appreciated that none of the campaigns devolved into the negativity and attacks that seem to be expected of politics. Truly, there were many difficult decisions on our IVI ballots! Because these voices also deserve to be heard, I propose that, once we determine a meeting time for student council, meetings should be open to all.
To prove my fidelity to the message of my campaign -- communication -- I have set up a standing appointment with the Dean. We will be meeting to discuss the state of IVI every other Thursday. I hope that I am always available to other students, but in the name of making myself available, I will now commit to "office hours" at a quiet table in the first floor study area from 4:00-5:00 every Monday and Wednesday. I am looking forward to the conversations I will have!
Thank you again, IVI! I hope to serve you well.
