The Launchpad
This isn't just a list of promises—it's an integrated roadmap. Every project below is powered by a new way of working within the Student Senate.
Senate Outreach Sessions
The 'engine' of this campaign. Instead of committees working in isolation, the entire Senate will dedicate one hour of every meeting to high-priority student projects. We move from bureaucracy to execution.
Powers all 4 pillars

These goals are ambitious. Here's how I'll get them done.
I know that not everything will be completed in a single GM term. That's why my entire campaign centers around shifting the culture of student voice, and building up the infrastructure to ensure that these areas of student life will be worked on even after my term.
Senate & Institute Reform
By coordinating Senate to collaborate on critical student-facing issues, we can drastically lower the response times for such initiatives. And by establishing open forums, where both Student Govenrment and the Institute are held accountable, we can better re-evaluate our current goals each semester.
Administrative Partnerships
Every initiative maps to a specific admin office: whether it's the Registrar for QUACS and preferred names, DoTCIO for tech, FYE for the Troy Guide, the Alumni Office, CCPD, or Campus Facilities. By establishing clear lines of communication and connection between Senate & various administrative departments, we can directly advocate for large changes.
Committee Coordination
By coordinating all the various Senate committes, and having a clear vision for each group, we can simultaenously push for progress on multiple fronts. By working with Community Relations for the Troy Guide, Communications & Engagement for the Media Coalition, and Facilities and Services for physical campus infrastructure, we can accomplish a pretty ambitious vision.
Student Pressure & Voice
For facilities, dorms and accountability issues, organized student voice is critical. As GM, I would use the platform to ensure that inaction is not an option for administration. By encouraging and promoting a culture of student pressure when issues are not being addressed, we can ensure that the Institue is held accountable.
