Eliyahu Cohen - Vice President

Hi! My name is Eliyahu Cohen, and I’m running to be your next USG Vice President. USG is an organization we all contribute to. If you look closely at your tuition bill, you’ll see that each student pays $45 per semester for USG to represent your thoughts, needs, and dreams. Do you know where that money goes? Exactly. With your support, we can ensure that every cent of our nearly $2.5 million budget serves the entire student body. What if you could donate unused flex passes and points to communities in need? What if students had access to Canva Pro? What if pre-med and pre-law students had stronger initiatives to help them meet their higher-education prerequisites? I won’t promise drastic change overnight. I’d be lying if I said all of this could happen in one year. What I can promise is this: these initiatives are not new to me. I’ve been working toward them since my freshman year, long before I even knew what USG was, and I’m ready to continue turning this work into real results. I’ll mold USG into an interactive hub rooted in transparency, community service, and accountability; one that truly works for you.
