Adam Moughnieh

Candidate for Board of Directors, College of Business and Economics

Candidate Slogan

Your voice. Your opportunities. Your future. Stronger representation for every business student. 

Candidate Biography

If elected to the ASI Board of Directors for the College of Business and Economics, my goal is to serve business students by ensuring that their concerns and ideas are represented and taken into consideration when it comes to policies and decision making. Because the Board helps decide how resources are allocated towards programs and services that support students, I would use my voice and leadership skills to help make sure these decisions are serving everyone.  

 

Primarily, my goal if elected is to advocate for funding that contributes to student success outside the classroom. This can look like career development initiatives such as networking events and professional workshops. As a Business Administration student in the Business Honors program, I have seen first hand how internships and professional development opportunities can help set a student on the right path for their career, more than being in the classroom alone. My hope in doing this is that using my voice to advocate for these opportunities will help students build skills and gain new connections that will help them with their career trajectory.  

 

Another goal of mine if elected is to act as an intermediary between students and ASI leaders. Many students are unaware of the many resources and services that the college provides to them. If elected, I hope to make these resources more accessible and actively seek feedback by personally reaching out to student organizations, peers, and classmates. Doing this will allow me to ensure that board decisions align with what students’ want and need. Being an approachable person who constantly listens to the concerns of others will allow me to be an effective intermediary between students and the Board.  

 

Additionally, as a transfer student, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to be in a new environment and how easy it is to feel out of place during that transition period. To help with this, I would advocate for programs and services that focus on inclusion and helping transfer students feel supported and involved within the College. 

 

My goal if elected is to be a leader that helps ASI make a lasting impact on students both academically and professionally. I am committed to listening carefully, representing students honestly, and working diligently to improve our college experience.
