Emmanuella Appiah (2025)

Emmanuella Appiah Senator of Multicultural Affairs

I am currently majoring in Business with an emphasis in Information Systems with a minor in Computer Science.

I have a passion for making sure the needs of students of color are met and their voices are heard. I believe that diversity is an important asset to this campus and it's vital that all students feel welcome and have the opportunity to build community on campus.

I have strong leadership skills. I have attended many leadership conferences and seminars. This has given me a strong understanding of my own leadership and what leadership should look like. I am the President of the African Student Association currently, I have previously served as the Treasurer and Vice President. I am working together with others on the executive board of the club to put on a large event to showcase African culture called Journey to Africa. I also have an on-campus job working at the scholarship development office as a student assistant. This has taught me how to have better time management and learn how different areas of the school operate. I have had the privilege of serving as a senator at large for the 23-24 and 24-25 school year. This has given me first-hand experience with SGA and I believe I can be a voice for students who are in communities that are often looked over by large institutions.

I am involved in a few different clubs on campus. I am in the Black Student Union, Sisterhood, Feminist Club, and the President of the African Student Association. I also regularly attend on-campus events and had the privilege of being an engagement leader in the Fall 2024 semester. One of my hobbies is making videos, I taught myself how to record and edit videos, and it is something I enjoy doing. I also listen to different types of music. I love music and I think it is a great way to express yourself and connect with other people.
