My name is Zhuoer Chen, and I am a passionate freshman at DKU. I am deeply committed to fostering positive connections, contributing to my community, and making a meaningful impact. Thus, I see DKU Student Leaders Board as an ideal platform for me to create meaningful change. I had two years of experience of serving as the President of the Student Union in my high school, leading a whole team that organized school events and represented the student body. I was also actively involved in TEDxSuzhou@Youth where I gained experience in teamwork by collaborating closely with others to bring impactful ideas to the stage. These past experiences made me prepared for taking larger responsibilities here at DKU. I am excited to bring my experiences and passion for student engagement to the Student Leaders Board. I am applying for the Student Leaders Board because I am eager to serve as a voice for my fellow students and to actively contribute to the development of a dynamic and inclusive campus. With a strong background in organizing events, from my leadership roles in high school and TEDx to my active participation in DKU’s social media center, I believe I can help bridge the gap between students and the university with efficiency and profession. I also hope to collaborate on projects that bridge diverse perspectives, strengthen student welfare, and promote creative outlets for expression. By working as a board member, I hope to continue growing as a leader, learning from my peers, and contributing to an environment where every student feels heard, supported, and valued. I am excited for the opportunity to collaborate with others and help shape the future of DKU.
