Jackson '15 outlines second term
Durva TrivediThe incoming USG administration plans to create a new campus-wide mentorship project, host a Violence Intervention and Prevention Week in collaboration with the Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising Resources & Education Peer Advisors and work with University administration to revise the grading policy, according to incoming USG president Shawon Jackson '15. Jackson, who was recently reelected for his second term, said his administrative focus will remain on service in leadership. Jackson said his Senate project priorities include creating a policy report about students who take gap years entitled theExtended Leave Report,completing the Committee on Background and OpportunityIV report, which looks at students' backgrounds in relation to their experiences at Princeton, and an ongoing mental health initiative. Jackson said his hope is to increase accountability and approachability among USG members so students understand that “we are here to serve what their needs are and not what our own personal interests are.” The new USG vice president, Molly Stoneman ’16, said she is ready to work with Jackson on these and other projects and is excited about bringing her own set of new ideas to the student government.
