It is important that female students' interests are well represented on next year's Duke Student Government Executive Board, especially as many important issues affecting our community of 1,200 women were recently highlighted in the Campus Culture Initiative report. With this in mind, the Panhellenic Association executive board, presidents and delegates would like to announce the following endorsement:
For president, we endorse junior Paul Slattery. Through his previous experience as chief of staff, Slattery has developed concrete ideas and a specific plan for achieving them. Furthermore, he is already focused on important issues that include undergraduate mentorship and the hiring of female faculty. For executive vice president, we endorse sophomore Jordan Giordano. Giordano has a strong understanding of DSG and the potential opportunities for collaboration with the greek community.
For vice president of student affairs, we endorse freshman Lucy McKinstry. While her opponent, sophomore Madison Li, is impressive and shares many of the same objectives, McKinstry is a go-getter who cares deeply about issues including female mentorship. For vice president of community interaction, we endorse junior Genevieve Cody. Cody has tremendous experience and a realistic, creative and concrete vision that would serve her well in this capacity.
For vice president of academic affairs, we endorse junior Gina Ireland. She brings a fresh perspective to the position, with new ideas and the diligence to act on them.
The leadership of the Panhellenic Association feels confident that these students will fill their respective positions effectively and work strongly toward further unification of the undergraduate population.
