Assemblies Elections

Jordan Chessin (jsc384)

My name is Jordan Chessin and I am running for “Transfer Representative” for Cornell University’s Student Assembly. I know I am the right choice for the position because I have a passion for serving others, plan long term, and am experienced in running an organization. My main goal is for Cornell to continue to be a university that is both welcoming and is as easy to transfer into as possible. I plan to accomplish this through the following: 1. Creating a Facebook group for all admitted Transfer Students, where there will be several former transfer students who can answer questions. 2. Sending out monthly or quarterly newsletters to Transfer Option Students (who sign a statement approving) about current news at Cornell. 3. Creating a Peer-Ambassador program, where each new Transfer Student is paired up with an upperclassmen transfer student (to help student connect with a current student) I am from Cleveland, Oh and went to “Ohio State University” last year and have been an officer of 7 clubs. I am a sophomore in the School of Hotel Administration. I greatly appreciate your consideration and hope I can count on your vote. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

As a student transferring from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), I bring with me a wide breadth of student government experience. During the four terms over two years that I was in student government at the CIA, I worked closely with administration on a variety of matters and personally helped improve campus security, internally restructuring finances, and a complete overhaul of the world’s most unique dining plan. In addition to my student assembly experience, I also have earned membership into the National Association of Parliamentarians and served as a US cultural diplomat in Germany for the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Program. I hope to use these experiences to best serve the students I have transferred with this fall. I am incredibly approachable and I would love to hear the opinions and ideas from my constituency so I can best represent you! Best of luck to everyone this year!
