JIMMY FALLON ’21
What prompted you to run for president?
The reason I am running for president is to work to make students more marketable when entering their designated careers and dominate the fight against mental health, sexual assault and help student-athletes access the proper resources to network with time constraints.
As I have talked about on my website, I believe St. Lawrence does a good job positioning students to excel after graduation, but I believe there are certain steps we can take to level the recruitment playing field against top universities.
What academic and social issues and groups are you involved in on campus – ie. clubs, majors, sports teams, other interests?
At SLU, I am a current member of the scholars floor, received the Bradley R. Evers Award for Outstanding Leadership, was on the football team, an economics teaching assistant, the Director of Communications in the First Year Research Exchange, member of the Institutional Strategic Assessment Committee and previously on the Academic Affairs Committee and Elections Committee.
What would you describe as the platform you are running on?
The platform I am running on is being a student who can relate to a variety of groups across campus. I have outlined through my work in my website my passions and ability to be diverse and inclusive to all groups.
Three primary issues would be sexual assault, where we need to have more sober groups out at peak nightlife hours when students are coming back, and mental health, where we implement policies to ensure we are being proactive in the fight and helping students excel in the classroom.
Is there anything else SLU students should know about you?
If there is anything SLU students should know, it’s that before you vote, please reach out to as many people as possible about the candidates and watch the debate.
As a candidate, all I want in the end is that students know who they are really voting for, what type of work ethic the student has and, most importantly, what their vision is.
