My name is Xinlu Li, a freshman at Duke Kunshan University majoring in computer science or data science. My leadership journey began in high school, where I served as Director of the Study Department in the student union, leading impactful projects such as a 400+ attendee original drama. These experiences honed my event management, conflict resolution, and teamwork skills. At DKU, I contribute as a student worker in the Operations Department, where I organize initiatives to improve communication between students and staff, enhancing residence services. I am applying to the Student Leadership Board to amplify student voices and make meaningful contributions to campus life. SLB offers a unique platform to address challenges, foster intercultural understanding, and work collaboratively to implement innovative solutions. My goal is to use this opportunity to bring actionable and impactful projects to life. If selected, I have specific plans for both the Student Advocacy Committee and the Intercultural Engagement Committee. For Student Advocacy Committee, I propose organizing monthly themed forums where students can engage directly with university leadership on key topics, such as academic resources, mental health support, and campus policies. Pre-collection of student feedback will ensure focused and effective discussions. I also plan to introduce peer-led academic orientation workshops, offering guidance on building academic connections and navigating DKU’s academic environment. For Intercultural Engagement Committee: to bridge cultural gaps, I propose Global Food Festivals to celebrate cultural diversity through shared cuisines. Another initiative is an Intercultural Debate Series on global topics, encouraging open dialogue and mutual understanding. Additionally, I aim to create a Cultural Storytelling Series in collaboration with student organizations, allowing individuals to share experiences and insights that highlight their heritage. Through my leadership experience, proactive approach, and dedication to inclusivity, I am committed to enhancing the DKU community and creating a positive, lasting impact.
