We met Seanika Mathis and talked to her about her position, goals and future and what it means to occupy this type of leadership in 2024-2025.
Read the full interview below.
What is the biggest thing you learned as SGA president so far?
The biggest thing I have learned as a student head so far is the importance of communication. The world is very big and can begin to feel intimidated when you don’t know what you do not know. Building your network and communicating with people in various fields truly helps the world feel smaller and more overpowering.
What made you decide to attend the Arizona State University for university students?
I decided to attend the Arizona State University for university students because he offered great scholarships to the university. Also, as a student in the country I had a great study rate as well. Otherwise, there was not much rhyme or rhythm for my choice to attend the Arizona State University. Since I was here, I have grown greatly at my university taking into account all the opportunities available here.
How did Arizona State formed the person you are today?
Arizona State University has formed the person I am today through unlimited opportunities. There are a lot of opportunities here and there is a culture at Arizona State University to expel yourself from your comfort area. I did a lot of things in my time here at Arizona State University that I did not imagine myself to participate in and succeed. This includes to be the first black woman to become president of students here at Arizona State University. It was filled with me in the confidence in myself and everything I have to present to the world.
What are the specific initiatives that you went to this year (or planning), and how do you think it will improve the school and the surrounding community?
This year I tried an initiative called “Spring Society Projects” where students can apply for $ 2500 financing for a project to benefit the Phoenix community in the center of the city (campus service zone). This initiative allowed the student’s government to provide students with funding for a project that would improve our society. Students allow a way to find funding without having to attach a club or organization. We are also planning the “Career + Fair” event, which contains elements of a functional gallery and an actual fair event. The topic of this year is “graduate communications” and focuses on training opportunities, grades opportunities, and networks continue for students.
How does your SGA management/school currently attend the mental health of students?
Our student government works to pay attention to mental health through students by constantly providing students with mental and sexual health resources. We also started the health and well -being initiative that we started this year. It is a vehicle permanently located outside our office full of snacks, water, menstrual products, condoms, etc. All are free for students at any time. We also hosted the annual safety walking around the campus, as we supplied students with safety resources, including yellows and blankets. We are also working on SaFty Walk 2.0 in this semester where it will cooperate with Greek life organizations for a greater influence.
What does driving mean to you?
For me, leadership means directing others towards a common vision. In my leadership experience, I learned that it is important to take into account every perspective and ensure its reflection on initiatives and conversations. Each perspective brings value and to be a successful leader, as this takes an open mind and an open heart.
We are now living in a digital world, what do you think of schools that you should do to represent themselves online in 2025?
In 2025, I think schools and universities need creativity to represent themselves online in 2025. At Arizona State University we have a large number of students on the Internet and it is important not to feel isolated or charged. To ensure this, we must preserve the Internet community at the forefront of our minds and appreciate the perspective and the value they add to our university. In the government of university students in the city center at Arizona State University, we have become creative by marketing events on social media through videos and broadcasting. We also include students online in events and charging incentives for students online to immerse themselves as possible.
Why do you think watching the courtyard is important for black students and the culture of the kidney?
Watch Watch the annihilation inspiring and provides a positive vision in the black society in a world that can often be chaotic.
What do you plan to do after graduation?
After graduation, I plan to attend the Faculty of Law. I am very enthusiastic about social justice and I was strongly inspired by the innocence project. I look forward to being a criminal defense lawyer and helping those who need someone
We would like to praise Seanika Mathis for her work as head of the Arizona State University.
