Point of Information 10/23/2023
Note from Matty Coleman:
Hi all! As I announced at our most recent Senate meeting, I am stepping down from the Executive Vice President position, effective as of the conclusion of last Senate. I wanted to thank you all once again for your understanding, validation and flexibility in the face of these unfortunate circumstances. I appreciate your collective ability to recognize and support this as a necessary step for my wellness in lieu of occurrences in my personal life over the past couple months. I want to reaffirm that the brief time I spent chairing this Senate and engaging oversight of this Association was phenomenal, and I am so thankful to have met so many amazing and inspirational individuals in such a short period of time. I leave this position knowing that this Association is in incredible hands, both at present and for the future. You all possess the passion, dedication and verve to effect profound change in your community, and I cannot wait to see you materialize it. And I'll still be around of course! So feel free to give a wave or a shout when passing by on campus :)
Keep slaying! So so so many thanks for this final sign off,
~Matty
