Tuesday, November 5th, was an important day for the Multicultural Student Club (MSC). Club members, both new and returning, had the opportunity to run for different positions in the club, such as event coordinators, treasurers, and spokespersons. Club President Lokoah Paye ‘25 and Vice President Sasha Luhur ‘27 helped organize and run the elections and managed the results.

MSC is a club dedicated to bringing students of all ethnicities together to share the importance of diversity in the community. “Last year, I was the vice president of the club, and this year, I have become the president,” Paye said. “While I was a leader last year, I now have a much more vocal role for club meetings as well as being in charge of scheduling for the club,” Paye added. He and Luhur made leaps to higher positions this year and plan to have an eventful schedule for the club. “We’ve organized two meetings so far and held elections for our remaining leadership positions,” Luhur added. “I really like the club and the work we were doing.”

Club members who wanted to run for a position of their choosing were tasked to come up with a one-minute speech on why they thought they would be a good candidate. New club member Danna Perez ’26, who ran for Accreditation Liaison, says she improvised her speech. “I said what I thought was important for me and the club.” Whereas Gus Garvey ‘25 took a different approach. “I went through a list of my strengths in my head and structured my speech to revolve around my qualifications for the job.”

Both Perez and Garvey were elected to leadership positions. After votes were counted, the results for the 2024-2025 MSC leadership elections are as follows:
