Public Policy

Hello everyone! My name is Daniel Addoquaye, and I am running to be elected as the Minority Students Liaison At-Large.
   
As a Freshman Representative this year, I advocated for safety and increased communication by working on resolutions to expand dialogue between the Assembly and the undergraduate student body, as well as co-authoring legislation that promotes student sidewalk safety. 
   
As the Minority Students Liaison At-Large next year, I will continue advocating for resolutions that support all minority communities across campus. I will leverage my knowledge of university proceedings, operations, and inner workings to strengthen the impact of my work, delivering real, tangible outcomes for you, the undergraduate community.
   
I plan to work closely with the Diversity Committee and the Academic Policy Committee to ensure your undergraduate experience is marked by safety, comfort, and the freedom to advocate for yourself. This builds on the foundation I set as a Freshman Representative.
   
When we began this journey together, you chose me to be your solid ground, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. Now, I’m asking you to choose again — a candidate who will continue to ensure you have safe and steady footing.

Public Policy

Cornell’s diversity is its strength, but representation means more than just presence—it requires action. As a freshman in the Brooks School of Public Policy, from the moment I stepped foot on the Hill, I have worked to advance minority voices through Black Students United, Cornell ACLU, and, more recently, the CU Prison Initiative and Tenants Program. Through these efforts, I continue to address injustices that disproportionately affect our communities. I’m running to ensure that minority voices are not just heard but drive real change on campus.
   
I am running on three key principles: Empower. Advocate. Deliver.

Empower – Amplifying student voices and ensuring underrepresented communities have a direct line to decision-making spaces.
Advocate – Pushing for policies that reflect our needs, from cultural funding to institutional accountability.
Deliver – Turning concerns into tangible results by bridging the gap between students and administration.
   
Cornell’s minority students deserve leadership that doesn’t just listen but acts. As your representative, I will work to create policies that reflect our realities and push for solutions that matter. Let’s build a campus where equity isn’t just a promise—it’s a priority.
