Drew Marsh

Drew Marsh

Hello, my name is Drew E. Marsh and I am serving as Senator in Student Government. I am currently a freshman majoring in Public Administration.

My personal interests are debate, politics, history, activism, government, and theatre. However my interest in Student Government is to represent you, the students of the University of Michigan-Flint. My goals are to make Student Government even more transparent and to make the college experience and campus even better than before.

Equality is a major aspect of this campus and country, so I will be working to make sure Everyone has equality of opportunity. Another strong characteristic of the University is diversity. I spent a lot of my high school career standing up for diversity and equality by sticking my neck out and educating my peers and community on the importance of it and how our diverse personalities can bring us together and make us stronger as a whole by creating Davison’s first ever diversity organization. I hope that you will allow me to continue my campaign on Equality and Diversity here as well.

As Senator, I am a member of the body that must approve most resolutions or bills that come through Student Government. As a voting member, I must and will represent my peers and constituents like you. If you have any questions, comments, concerns or even ideas for the campus or student government, please contact me! Thank you,

Sincerely,

Why I joined Student Government

There is so much the University of Michigan-Flint has bestowed upon me by affording me an excellent education and a great community. I believe it will be best for me to get involved and give back to both my University and the community. I have a strong inclination to join the Student Government in order to achieve this goal. I can be ubiquitously involved in my community, consistently contribute to the University and unconsciously improve my leadership qualities.

Having researched on the different committees under the auspice of the Student Government, I am leaning towards joining the Government Legal Affairs. I have always wanted to be a lawyer, plan to go to Law School after my undergraduate studies because I have initiative, determination and ambition. I also think logically and analytically, and I have a strong conviction and passion when it comes to the enforcement of the law. Therefore being in the Government Legal Affairs will enhance my innate skills and would also facilitate my understanding of Law enforcement during my academic trajectory in this great University.

I hope to provide laws that exuberate the Student Government in pertinent aspects that will also transcend to the University committee. I have a strong conviction that the Student Government is the perfect place where can achieve my goal and fulfill my passion.
