We believe in a Student Union that never ceases to push for reform that benefits students and their experiences at Stuyvesant High School. We understand that constructing a truly representative and effective Student Union thus requires extending preconceived definitions of leadership. To us, leadership is about inclusivity, transparency, and accessibility. Above all, it prioritizes listening attentively to student voice and amplifying it to the administration, the DOE, and other stakeholders within the community. We seek to create reform with a Student Union that places student input and feedback at the top of its priorities, with transparency and communication as a means to this end. In decomplexifying the Student Union and increasing its receptiveness, we hope to form a lasting bond between Student Union members, the administration, community groups, and, of course, the student body.
Yours truly,
Vishwaa Sofat & Julian Giordano
