General comments:
Being part of a cause you believe in not only gives purpose to your life, it gives you the opportunity to serve others while spiritually growing and bettering yourself and the community you are part of. NJIT allows students to not only attend college, but to be the college they want. During the two months I have been serving as the Senate Vice President of Administration, my team and I have been able to make happen the crosswalks between the Honors Dorm and the Soccer Field. There is still a lot I would like to accomplish. That’s the reason why I am running to stay the Senate Vice President of Administration.
