The Small Town Rural Student Coalition is thrilled to see such an impressive array of candidates running for DSG presidency this year, and we are sure that each one will do their best to support and advocate for all whom they represent if elected. However, after thorough research and many meticulous discussions, we have decided to wholeheartedly endorse Tara Singh for DSG president.
A mission of STRSC is to act as a bridge to close the gaps that students from typically underserved areas face, and we see this commitment reverberated through Tara’s ideals as she advocates for a variety of groups whose voices are not being heard. She fights for students through her promise to institutionalize airport transit and broaden RA food plans, issues that unproportionately hinder low-income individuals. Through her passion to collaborate with multicultural groups, Tara would be streamlining communication between a multitude of groups and moving to a more inclusive and unified Duke experience. By offering a variety of ways that issues could be brought up directly to her and her organization, Tara solidifies that every voice will be heard. Every group will be served.
Tara Singh will have an immense effect in the entirety of the Duke environment, in DSG and beyond. We see and encourage her fierce determination for equity and well-being, and we are honored and delighted to offer her our endorsement.

Sincerely,
Olivia McConnell (Trinity '27), co-president of the Small Town Rural Student Coalition
