Hello, Hornets!
My name is Amaka Okam, and I am running for Vice President of University Affairs. I have had the amazing privilege of serving on the Committee of Academic Senate while also being a proud member of the Division I Women’s Rowing Team.
Through firsthand experience, I have seen the importance of having a campus that is respectful, inclusive, and truly representative of its student body. I recognize how vital it is to foster a space where people from all walks of life feel encouraged to participate and engage in campus life. Additionally, I am committed to providing a campus environment that fosters belonging and increases services to better support student health and wellness.
If elected, I will work to increase student representation on university committees, ensuring that students have a direct voice in the decisions that shape our campus. I am committed to advocating for more student-centered policies, stronger support systems, and an improved campus experience for all students.
On April 16 and 17, I ask for your vote. Together, we can create a more inclusive, engaged, and student-focused campus.
Thank you, and I hope to earn your support!
Best,
Amaka Okam
