Additional Information:

            I have benefited a lot from Hillel/JSU’s events and I am excited to have the chance to run for a leadership position.

            I believe that along with every positions defined duties, it is also the duty of every board member to make sure the other board members are doing their jobs. It is important every member is willing to do what it takes to make JSU successful and can step outside of their job-title when needed.

            I am super psyched about the enthusiasm I hear when JSU elections are brought are up. I feel that with the quantity and quality of people running for positions that JSU will be able to accomplish a good deal. No matter how the elections turn out I am confident in the success of JSU.
