(Image credit: Alex Kekauoha) As this year's ASSU executives, we have been working diligently to tackle long-standing student concerns since taking office this past spring. Our primary goals for this year fall under three categories: (1) elevating student voices and input, (2) improving community wellness and (3) broadening our definition of "community" to address issues that occur beyond our campus borders. Some of the successes so far include helping students learn about and engage with the Stanford-SEIU Local 2007 labor negotiations , working with the Graduate Student Council and Stanford Residential & Dining Enterprises to create a recurring food bank for food-insecure graduate students and partnering with Students for a Sustainable Stanford to provide affordable airport transportation for students. Are there issues you think students should know about?
