  • Damari Moye

  • Met with Dr. Gunter, Associate Dean, College of Health Sciences: I met with Dr. Gunter to discuss my role and ways to gather feedback from Health Sciences students. Much of our conversation focused on general student concerns, including financial stress, academic struggles, and feeling connected on campus. She recommended connecting with student organizations and reporting recurring concerns, especially those involving required science courses. She explained that past town halls had low turnout and recommended attending existing student organization meetings instead. I plan to clarify with SGA how this suggestion fits with my town hall responsibilities. She also gave me a contact who handles the college’s social media for information about upcoming events and help connecting with student organizations. My next step is to hear directly from students in different Health Sciences majors to identify specific concerns I can work on.
