ABOUT ME
Dear Middlebury Class of 2022,
My name is Maya Gee and I am a sophomore planning to major in Sociology and minor in Education Studies from Waikoloa, Hawai`i. And I am happy to announce my candidacy for Sophomore Senator! Like many of you, I had a tough time adjusting to Middlebury my first year. I felt out of place in a prominently white and wealthy institution, struggled with being almost 5,000 miles away from home, and was disappointed by the lack of transparency of the institution. From these experiences, I am ready and determined to ignite action and progress within Middlebury College by students and FOR students. Whether it is short-term project like designing a more impactful resource booklet for students or a macro-scale project such as identifying barriers that prevent professors and counselors of color from establishing careers at Middlebury, I want to utilize my knowledge as a Co-Director on the Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee and our experiences as a Middlebury College students to make progress within this institution. If you have any questions, comments, or ideas, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]. It would be an honor to serve as your Sophomore Senator and remember to #VOTEMAYA on Sep. 23-24. Best regards, Maya Gee ‘22 |
