...Ryan and Matt, a self-absorbed UC just won’t cut it because the more the UC focuses on its internal affairs, the less it can do to affect students’ daily lives. While the rest of the UC was busy talking about Robert’s Rules of Order, section 62.35, bylaws, institutions, organizational growth, and optimization models, we saw Ryan reaching out to students. He didn’t speculate or make assumptions—instead, he did his research, asking students what they wanted and needed from their UC, and then immediately...

They will give students new outlets to improve teaching, like an anonymous email address for making complaints about lackluster teaching: TF@harvard.edu. They will ensure that student groups receive funding through a fair, transparent, and timely process. They will improve the quality of Quad life by pushing...
...that Ryan and Matt will work tirelessly to improve students’ lives on campus is not a hopeful projection for the future. They are already doing it, and they possess the leadership qualities to shift the UC’s priority to students,where it should be. It’s about time we saw that in our UC president and vice president...
