Freshman

College of Arts and Sciences

Economics & Statistical Science

Hi! My name is Julia Xu, and I’m from Long Island, NY. My goal as CAS Representative would be to connect and empower all 4,600 students within the college!

Here are some of my qualifications:
   - SHS Student Government Class Representative (3x) and Treasurer (1x) 
   - President of First Generation Investors at Cornell
   - Led campaign to raise $7.5K for cancer research
   - 2,200+ day Duolingo streak

Here’s what I’ll advocate for:
   - More affordable student life: Free/subsidized TCAT, laundry, printing, and course materials
   - More opportunities: Student-professor research matching and alumni mentorship to make research and internships more accessible
   - More community: Dining hall events featuring student-submitted recipes from home and opportunities to connect across majors, e.g., randomized student chat pairings, weekly CAS student spotlight
   - More of YOUR voice: An anonymous suggestion box and tracker with regular updates showing the ideas being pursued

If elected, I’ll fight for the changes you want to see and make sure your voice matters in every decision. Vote XU for Xcellence 4 U! Please reach out to jx463@cornell.edu with any questions or ideas!
