Meet one of the candidates, Mike, running for Student Government Secretary!

Mike Burns ‘30 (he/him)
Major: International Affairs
Describe your vision for the position you intend to run for.

I plan to make every meeting as productive as possible. I understand the value of organization when it comes to cleanly laid out ideas. I enjoy spreading information and I see a campus best when it’s government’s ideas and actions are clearly laid out for the students. I think a more flushed out social media page could be a great asset to student government. I also plan to fully involve myself within student government as it will be a whole new experience.

Describe why you are the right person for this role.

I would consider myself an active listener. I know the importance of summarizing what someone has said justly. My experience as Red Cross Club President for my high school has given me the understanding of what it takes to keep a group functional. As someone who struggled with organizational skills early on in high school, having to grow into a more organized person has ultimately made me more adaptable to any environment. Student Government will definitely be knew to me, but as someone who’s always looked outside in, I feel I’ll have much to offer.
