Winter Hurst-Leadicker, Speaker of the Senate
ÌýHi!
My name is Winter Hurst-Leadicker, I am a 20-year-old baccalaureate student in my junior year here at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼, I am a double major in Political Science with an emphasis on American Government, with a secondary major in History, and with one minor in Pre-Law. I am originally from the great city of St. Louis, Missouri, where later my family decided to settle on the Illinois side of the Mississippi river in Godfrey, Illinois.
I have always been an ambitious individual, I am someone who is involved in a number of organizations, associations, and companies. Which includes but is not limited to my duties as a student representative in the Illinois House of Representatives through Model Illinois Government, the Midwest Model United Nations , the American Mock Trial Association, the Associated Students of Political Science, the Associated Students of History, the JCPenney Corporation, as well as its subsidiary foundation the JCPenney Communities Foundation, and most excitingly the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ Student Government Association, of which I am the former VP of DEI, and where I am serving as Speaker of the Senate for the 2024 - 2025 academic year.
Looking towards the present and future of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ Student Government Association, I intend to serve as YOUR Speaker of the Senate, where I intend to let all students from the various sects and communities have their voice heard through the SGA legislature.
I intend the student government to be free, fair, and impartial, and I will do all the can to live up to the expectation of the student body.
All the best,
- Winter Hurst-Leadicker |Ìý
