Hi everyone! I’m Angelo Montes, a Third Year, First Gen, Latino, majoring in Political Science, and I hope to continue to provide Tier II organizations with services to help promote their communities, and keep our USG meeting minutes accessible, accurate, and inclusive. I have had the honor to present at multiple Culture Centers and at SOLID workshops for the past two years to inform Tier II organizations about UGS’s Funding System and SOC services. I hope to continue this work and expand the tenets of USG’s resources for Tier II organizations outside of Funding to as many organizations as possible, especially our underrepresented communities on campus.
