Judicial Council President

Notre Dame Student Government · Notre Dame, IN

Following my term as Student Union Historian, I was unanimously nominated by the Judicial Council Officers, and confirmed by the Student Senate, to the role of Judicial Council President. A few months later, I nominated and confirmed to serve a second term in this role. I have the honor of being both the youngest Judicial Council President on record, and the first person to serve two terms in the position in nearly 30 years. As Judicial Council President, I oversaw elections, ethical conduct and Constitutional matters. My two major accomplishments were introducing voter turnout incentives and reforming the Ethics Council and Election Council, and at the conclusion of my term, I was granted the title of Judicial Council President Emeritus by the Student Senate.
