Hi! I’m Lindsay Freedman, a current freshman double majoring in Criminology (BS) and Sociology (BA). I am from Southern California, but Penn State has quickly become a second home. I am running to be an At-Large Representative to help ensure all students at Penn State feel safe and heard, regardless of background and identity.

During my time in the UPUA, I served on the First-Year Council, joining committees and learning about the organization, while helping write legislation. Additionally, I had the opportunity to fill a vacant At-Large seat near the end of the assembly. Many projects I helped with included mental health and sexual violence awareness, working with organizations such as CAPS and R-Voice, to name a few. These are issues I hope to keep working with, as I am very passionate about them.

Looking to the future, I hope to engage as many students with this organization as possible. The more voices we hear from, the better we can represent and serve Penn State. As I get more involved with different organizations on campus, I believe that I am building skills to help connect on-campus groups, continuing to promote how UPUA supports other campus organizations. A main goal of mine is to increase campus awareness of what UPUA does, and how they can get involved. Many students might want to promote change on campus but don’t know where to start. As an At-Large Representative, I would do my absolute best to help provide different perspectives to issues and resolutions, to try and ensure that every student on campus feels heard and represented within their student government.

This past year in this organization has been amazing, and I can not wait to see all that is to come with the 20th assembly! Change starts with us, and it starts today. It would be an honor to receive your vote and continue to serve the undergraduate student body at Penn State University Park. Together we can create the best Penn State possible!
