...over the course of the last two years, he has continuously delivered. Ryan played the leading role in bringing us the Lamont Café this fall after co-writing the bill that brought us a 24-hour Lamont. He went to bat for gender inclusiveness on our campus, finally getting gender identity added to the University’s nondiscrimination code. As one of only two students serving on the Task Force on General Education, he helped shape a new general education proposal to save future generations of Harvard students from the Core. He has staunchly defended student groups, earning...
...Ryan takes on the real issues facing students, even those without easy solutions. We would know—as UC vice president, a former President of the Harvard Democrats, and a member of the Student Affairs Committee that Ryan leads, we have seen Ryan stick with challenging projects and continue fighting for students when everyone else had given up time and time again. We trust no undergraduate more to guarantee that the UC is putting the students it is meant to serve front and center in all that it does...
Ryan’s success is by no means haphazard; he has an exceptional ability to inspire those working with him to collaborate and give their all to a project. Ryan’s mantra seems quite simple to us: people matter. Ryan is the kind of person who makes certain that everyone he works with knows how valuable and appreciated their contributions are. Whether you find him in a dining hall late at night (on his second or third Brain Break run) or on his way to a breakfast meeting long before classes begin, he always stops...
...search for concrete solutions to real student problems, Ryan has found a perfect teammate in Matt Sundquist. As far as we know, Matt smiles more than anyone else at Harvard; he can’t seem to help this outward manifestation of his optimistic, never-say-never attitude. Meeting him for the first time is a completely disarming experience. Down-to-earth and relaxed, he effortlessly transitions conversation from Smash Brothers to Kantian ethics. Talk to any one of his freshmen peer advisees, and they will tell you how compassionate he is; talk to anyone on his Dorm Crew team...
...Ryan and Matt will improve student’s lives in everyday ways and never shirk from concrete solutions to big, abstract problems. We are confident they will deliver on their priorities to synchronize Harvard time with real time, reforming our exam schedule and giving us a more reasonable, sensible academic calendar. 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...
