Hey Cornell Class of 2030!

My name is Sylvia Witt, and I’m running as your Freshman Representative. These first months at Cornell have been a lot: new classes, new people, and a campus conversation that none of us could have prepared for. 

Here's what I'll fight for:

1. Knowing your Student Assembly: Did you know that the SA decides how to spend your $424 activity fee? Have you heard about the SA's 18 student-led committees that you can be a part of? Most of us don't know what the SA does or how it spends your money. I will provide clearer insight into funding and votes and host regular workshops and info sessions, so that every student feels connected to and informed about the SA.

2. Sexual Assault Prevention and Advocacy: Everyone deserves to feel safe at Cornell. I’ll demand accountability, support the Assembly’s current prevention and advocacy efforts, and prioritize student voices.

3. Working Printers: Dorm printers should work when you need them. I’ll push for faster repairs and an increase to our baseline printing funds. 

4. Class Togetherness: More freshman events and socials, so this class feels like a community.

A vote for me is a vote for you. Vote Sylvia Witt!
