 Name: Amanda Hawkes '21
Position: Sophomore Class President
Major: Accounting
Hometown: Billerica, MA
Email: AHawkes@lasell.edu
Office Hours: N/A
Bio: My name is Amanda Hawkes, I'm a sophomore accounting major from Billerica, MA. My first semester at Lasell was hard; I had trouble making friends and felt I was constantly sitting alone in my room. Once I was able to step out of my comfort zone and start getting involved, my entire experience changed. I wanted to join student government because I developed such a love for Lasell that was difficult for me to get because of how shy I was, and I want to help others enjoy the school as much as I do. As class president, I think I can effectively give the love back to my class and help others find their place here at Lasell. When I'm not at school, I love working at Market Basket, hanging out with friends and playing with my dog Dakota!

 Name: Kaitlin Johnson '20
Position: Senator
Major: Fashion Design and Production
Hometown: Northborough, MA
Email: KJohnson@lasell.edu
Office Hours: N/A
Bio: Hi! My name is Kaitlin Johnson and I am a junior Fashion Design and Production major from Northborough, MA. This is my third year on SGA and I am serving as a senator. The moment I came to Lasell for a tour of my senior year of high school, I knew this was my school. I have a strong drive to serve and better Lasell to assure that all the things students aspire and want can be shared with the correct people here on campus. Lasell has many amazing qualities but also has spots that can be improved and that's why I joined SGA. I believe that the Student Government can only run effectively by reaching out to all students on a college campus. Without reaching out to others, nothing can be done efficiently. In my spare time, I can be found in Edwards gym or in Donahue designing.

Position: Communications Coordinator
Major: Event Management
Hometown: Westerly, RI
Email: MClukey@lasell.edu
Office Hours: N/A
Bio: My name is Maggie Clukey, I am a first year event management major from Westerly, RI. Something I noticed when coming to Lasell was that my class of 2022 personally didn't feel as connected to the school and the other classes as much as they should be, I asked around and realized that it wasn't just my class who felt that disconnect. I joined the Student Government Association (SGA) this year at Lasell to help try to connect the different class years with each other and the school and provide that two way conversation that needs to be available. As Senator and communications coordinator of SGA here at Lasell, I am a part of a group of different people who all have different goals while being on SGA, which gives the group different perspectives of what we need to get done. We all have different goals, but one goal we have in common is to make this great college as great as it can be, which is something truly special. I feel like I have already made so many connections and learned so much and I haven't even been here that long. Besides being a part of SGA, I am the treasurer of the Class of 2022, the communications coordinator of the Random Acts of Kindness Club, and a part of the Campus Activities Board. When I am not at school, I love to be anywhere that the ocean is, boating, and spending time with my family and friends!
