SUNY Student Assembly

• President

  • 2005 - 2006

  The SUNY Student Assembly is the largest University student government in the world. The President is responsible for forming a Cabinet and working with Representatives to support SUNY students politically and procedurally. 413,000 students are represented by 30 part-time staff (full-time students). The students attend 64 campuses and include undergraduates, graduates, working adults, and members of every field of study. As President, I sought to expand the Assembly from a classic "student representation" organization into one that engaged in lobbying of the state, individual schools, and the University around student priorities. Among the innovations implemented: a regular system of geographic representation, a completely student-directed, systematic Lobby Day, political linkages with the City University of New York, a manual for student governments on voter registration, political message consistency, and a statewide media tour in support of student priorities.
