Hi! I’m Emily, a G4 in English. I’m from Scotland and have loved being part of the Lakeside community for the past two-and-a-bit years. In my free time, you can find me exploring New Jersey towns, art museums and restaurants.
It would be my pleasure to be the Lakeside Vice Chair, supporting the Chair in their initiatives and responsibilities. I have organised and hosted events for the Princeton Contemporary Poetry Colloquium and the Graduate Princeton Christian Fellowship, including spearheading a weekly breakfast event that runs for members of the Graduate College community.
As Vice Chair, my priorities would be:
- Working with the Office of Sustainability to make our lives at Lakeside greener. This work would range from reducing waste at social events to improving composting facilities to coordinating greener move-outs as residents seek to get rid of furniture.
- Working with maintenance to ensure timely solutions to residents’ housing problems — having fought a war against ants in my own Lakeside home, I know the need for swift resolution to these issues, and hope to see more access to pest control (which is currently only available on Wednesdays).
- Improving equipment in the Lakeside gym. Many residents have encountered issues with broken equipment, lack of cleaning supplies and so forth. I would prioritise surveying the Lakeside community to better understand residents’ gym needs and coordinating with Lakeside administration to meet them.
Yours by the lake,
Emily
