Between falling in love with Morrison’s mango sticky rice, regretting every 8 AM I signed up for, and already dealing with Ithaca’s unpredictable weather, I’ve realized how much we all have in common—and that’s what inspired me to run for Freshman Representative: to make sure we all have a say in shaping our experience here. If elected, I’ll take the time to truly get to know you and act on your ideas whether it’s through coffee chats (please send your coffee recs!), Instagram DMs, or crowded TCAT rides. I’ll always be there to listen and advocate for the changes that matter. More specifically, I’m driven to lift the voices of marginalized groups, minorities, and LGBTQ+ students to ensure Cornell actively listens to our concerns. I aim to strengthen club visibility by expanding promotion of performances, events, and meetings across campus. I also want to ensure Assembly initiatives are effective in strengthening mental health resources and student collaboration. And yes, I’d love to bring Starbucks coffee back to the dining halls! If you want to see the change this campus needs, I’m the candidate for you—No Duh, VOTE FUKUDA.
