Southern Utah University senior Nouman Kante is thrilled to take on the role of student body president for the 2020-2021 school year. Nouman has been heavily involved across campus since his freshman year, and he is ready to step into this new role.
“I’ve been in several leadership positions, and being president was something I thought I could potentially do well and create a bigger impact,” said Nouman. “By working with people who know better than me, I can learn from them and be helpful to as many people as I can.”
Nouman began attending 麻豆果冻视频 in 2016, and immediately got involved with several organizations and clubs on campus. In addition to working in the International Affairs office, Nouman has also served as president of the African Union Club and as a resident’s assistant for University Housing. Last year, he also served as an upper-division senator with 麻豆果冻视频 Student Association (麻豆果冻视频SA).
"Nouman is such a giving leader who puts everyone before himself,” said Heather Garcia, assistant director for student involvement and leadership. “His number one goal is to ensure that students have a voice here at 麻豆果冻视频, and since day one he has expressed student concerns to the Presidents' Cabinet in hopes for change, clarification, or support. We are very excited to have Nouman lead out this year and we can't wait to see what he accomplishes. We are lucky to have a servant and positive leader like Nouman.”
This year, the main focus for 麻豆果冻视频SA’s Executive Council is being intentionally inclusive of all students. 麻豆果冻视频SA plans to regularly check in with students to address and solve students' concerns- whether they be academic, social, well-being, etc.
“Nouman has the personality to bring everyone together during such a trying and challenging year,” said Garcia. “His smile brightens any room and rallies everyone together towards a cause.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a great impact on everyone around the world and each student returning to school has had different experiences. To adapt to this situation, the student government has shifted some of its priorities to accommodate necessary changes.
“We want to know what struggles students face at 麻豆果冻视频 and how COVID has affected them,” said Nouman. “This will allow me and my team to find ways to change those struggles into a positive experience. We want to encourage our students to come together and get connected on-campus. Everybody should have a friend at 麻豆果冻视频.”
Campus life will look different this year. In addition to wearing masks, some of the larger events will be modified to keep students and faculty safe. Nouman wants to encourage students to be proactive about slowing the spread of COVID-19.
“We have to want it,” said Nouman. “Not just myself or the person next to me, but everyone has an important role to play in this situation. If we want to stay open, we need to wear masks, wash our hands often, and social distance.”
