My name is Tarangana Thapa, I am a sophomore studying government and economics. I am running for Student Elected Trustee to bridge the divide between administrative decision-making powers and the incorporation of student voice in the discussion and decision-making process. These are the focus of my platform:

(1) Incorporate diverse student voices on the panel with more opportunities for direct communication between the students and the board. I will facilitate student led presentations and teach-ins, regular campus wide surveys to assess student opinions on issues being considered by the board, and remain available to meet with individuals and organizations to discuss pertinent issues students want brought to the board.

(2) Assess and remove knowledge and financial barriers that restrict students and student groups from equal access to resources and opportunities. I will work with the board and institutions like Cornell Law to expand legal clinic services for students dealing with tenants’ rights issues, submitting Title IX reporting, and filing immigration paperwork.

(3) Expand academic and career guidance services across schools. I will work on establishing channels of communication between schools to share best methods of guidance for different departments and career paths. I will create feedback services for students to expand on their experiences and suggested improvements to the system in order to hold all parties accountable throughout the advising process.

I am running to amplify all student voices and push the board to take student opinions into serious consideration in the decision-making process.
