“My name is Sargun Handa, a TEDx speaker and published author, and my passion is making positive long-lasting change. I serve as your current Senate Vice Chair, working closely with this year’s Senate Pro Tempore to advocate for student needs. This year, I volunteered with my peers to travel to Olympia twice, lobbying to legislators for increased mental health resources, support for sexual assault survivors, and funding for ethnic studies at WWU. As Vice Chair, I was working on suicide prevention, sexual assault prevention, and mandatory reporter training for the Student Senate before the Coronavirus pandemic. However, my service in the Student Senate is not over; I continue to work on implementing training remotely and advocating for student needs during these times. Thank you for the opportunity of creating positive long-lasting change as Senate Vice Chair and I ask for your vote to continue this work as Senate Pro Tempore!”
