Written By Eddie Muniz, FUSA President Elect
I would like to start off by thanking you for electing me to be the 64th FUSA President. This past week has been amazing and I am excited to start preparing for my term beginning in May. If you would have asked me a year ago what my plans were in regards to FUSA, I never would have imagined becoming president. I am both honored and humbled to represent the student body.
During the past three weeks I have been able to meet with many terrific individuals and talk with them about their concerns and hopes for their time at Fairfield University. There has been awesome dialogue going on, and I hope to continue this communication during my presidency.
I believe that FUSA has made tremendous strides recently in areas of student advocacy, programming, team development and in marketing its programs. I do believe however that FUSA Officials can do better in communicating the advocacy work it is doing to the student body. FUSA Officials are serving on a variety of University Committees and are in position to make a difference, yet need to do a better job of letting students know this and in communicating with them when decisions are being made. This being said, one of the central goals of my presidency will be to have FUSA communicate with students more regarding the advocacy work it is doing.
As president I will also lead FUSA as it continues its work on initiatives regarding transportation through developing the ‘Connect by Hertz’ car sharing program and to ensure that the town shuttle route is most efficient and meets the needs of students.
I will also work to see that the living and learning program continues to be developed, the peer advising program becomes more defined and is helpful to students and that course evaluation results continue to be made available to the student body.
Lastly, I will do my best to ensure that an exciting programming calendar continues to be made available to students and that FUSA continues to develop its relationship with student clubs and organization.
In closing, as I said before I believe that FUSA does provide quality advocacy and services to the student body. As president I hope to more apparent and clearly defined to students.
With the help of everyone I know that we can make this happen and in turn make Fairfield a better place for everyone!
Please feel free to contact me at any time via my student e-mail.
