What do they do for the student body?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Student Trustee brings a student perspective to the Board of Trustees. This way, the board has an understanding of what Worcester State is like from a student point of view, not an administrative one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of the goals you hope to accomplish while in this position?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My goal is to attend more major organization and special interest group events and general meetings. I want to be able to interact with more students. I think it\u2019s important to get any type of feedback from my peers that I can, so I can be as informative at board meetings as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you foresee as some of the challenges you could face in this position?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the challenges that I foresee in this position is not being able to attend as many events and meetings as I would like. Going into my senior year, I have a lot coming up between classes, homework, work, SGA, and board meetings. However, I am optimistic that between two semesters, I\u2019ll be able to accomplish my goals!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>At the end of the year, looking back, what do you hope your fellow students remember about you?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I hope fellow students remember that I did my best to represent the student body. I also hope that students remember that I really cared about this position and helping the Worcester State community. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>What advice would you give to students who are just beginning to explore the type of leader or the type of person they hope to become?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be open to new experiences and don\u2019t shy away from opportunities that are presented to you. This is the time to explore the type of person you want to be and take advantage of it while you can. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your current plans for the next few years?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I want to find somewhere to work in the business management field. I\u2019ve been considering hospitality as well as event planning, but nothing is set in stone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Student Trustee of Worcester State is an elected position that represents all WSU students on various committees and initiatives across campus.
