Oct. 4 — Luka Wolfe, F23, was confirmed as the Disabled Students Representative at the Student Advocacy Board’s open meeting on Oct. 1st, in a narrow 7 to 6 vote.
Wolfe is one of 4 students who nominated themselves for the empty seat following a call for self-nominations sent out on the 18th of September. The other 3 students were Adonis Dickey, Axen Wetzel, and Shane Brady. Wetzel was initially confirmed in a landslide during the Sept. 24th SAB meeting, but was unable to accept the position due to scheduling conflicts, so the two runners up were put to a vote on the 1st.
Wolfe’s self-nomination highlighted their experience as a wheelchair user on campus, membership and regular attendance at Disabled Students Union meetings, experience as an Occupational Therapy Technician, and studies in disability justice.
