You only have a year to leave your mark; it’s time to get to work.
The best advice I can give you is to build a support network around
yourself. Surround yourself with mentors who will become anchors
throughout your terms. They can be your teacher, your adviser, or
even an older student you feel strongly about.
Don’t take yourself too seriously. Many students are disconnected
from student politics and ballooning egos don’t help that. Do not be
the embodiment of the oft-repeated observation that “student
politics is the nastiest level of politics and gets the least amount
done.” Give students a reason to resonate with you. Talk with
people about their ideas. Don’t underestimate the power of a single
conversation. Most importantly, bring change.
