 Office Hours: N/A
 Bio:  My name is Maggie Clukey, I am a Sophomore 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) last 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. This year I wanted to continue to achieve this goal while also listening to everyone on campus to hear them voice their concerns and issues and helping them the best to my ability. As the Sophomore Class President 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. Besides being a part of SGA, I am the Class President of the Class of 2022, the Vice President of the Random Acts of Kindness Club, the VP of Tunes Trips and Tournaments of the Campus Activities Board, the Co-Donations Chair on American Cancer Society on campus, and also a Peer mentor. When I am not at school, I love to be anywhere that the ocean is, boating, and spending time with my family  and friends!
