I’ve been a dedicated and proactive student at DKU, invested heavily in developing our campus community. My experience in various leadership roles has given me a strong understanding of the needs and concerns of our student body. I’m passionate about promoting an inclusive environment where every voice is valued and heard. I am applying for the Student Leadership Committee to address numerous numbers of important issues that impact our university experience. But because of the text limitation, I’ll mention a few of them. First, I recognize that many students are dissatisfied with the current 7-week system and prefer the 14-week structure. If elected, I will advocate for a thorough review of this curriculum, engage with students to gather their input, and present our collective voice to the administration. In addition, I have observed and went through instances of miscommunication and lack of coordination between departments, which can hamper collaborative efforts. My goal is to facilitate better communication channels among departments to ensure that decisions are made collaboratively and effectively, ultimately benefiting all students. Also, I believe in the importance of strengthening student-faculty relationships. Many students hesitate to reach out to professors despite their desire for connection. I plan to create projects that encourage open dialogue between students and faculty, and provide an approachable environment that fosters mentoring and support. Furthermore, bridging the gap between international and Chinese students is essential to a cohesive university culture. I already founded and working on a project called ‘Campus Connect’ to promote intercultural understanding and cooperation in the DKU community. Serving on the Student Leadership Committee can provide increased opportunities to implement these initiatives on a larger, more strategic level, and create collaborative programs with the board that encourage communication and mutual support among all students. In summary, my goal is to create a more inclusive, well-coordinated, and supportive environment at DKU. By addressing these key issues, I hope to contribute to a vibrant campus culture where every student can thrive.
