A word from Jen:
It would be an honor to serve as the Graduate Student Assembly President Elect. I joined AECT as a doctoral student and am currently the GSA representative for the SMT division. The GSA board is a perfect match for my skills and passions in professional development leadership. I am confident that I would be an asset to this division as I will work to improve networking and advocate for all AECT divisions. My goal is to help GSA division members grow professionally by sharing resources and information that would be beneficial to professional development. Additionally, I will work to advocate for the GSA division to support growth.

I humbly ask for your vote to serve as the president elect on the GSA board, and I welcome the opportunity to share how my passions, ideas, and enthusiasm will benefit the GSA board.
