My name is Olivia Robach and I am a resident assistant, student employee, and full time student here at Grand Valley. I am currently a second year student pursuing a Bachelorýs in Science in Political Science and a minor in International Business. My performance in my studies has led me to be an invited member of the Pi Sigma Alpha National Political Science Honors Society. My goal is to utilize my passion for political science to promote positive change on campus. As a persistent and motivated member of the GVSU community and through my roles on campus, I have gained insight and knowledge to recognize how the diversity of our campus comes with a diversity of concerns and issues facing students. I believe that being a member of the Student Senate will be an amazing opportunity to foster my passion for advocacy in the betterment of student life. If elected, I will use my membership to uphold a mission of inclusion, empowerment, and support while working alongside my peers in the Student Senate, as well as having the honor to advocate for all students to promote the change they want to see.
