My name is Max Vaughan, and I am honored to have the role of Student Senate President for our school. I grew up in Asheville, and have been interested in politics and history my whole life. I am hoping to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to increase collaboration between students and their SG representatives, support committees with ambitious goals, and hold SG accountable when needed. Always feel free to reach out at vaughan26m@ncssm.edu !
Hi, my name is Ishaan Joshy, and I have served as a junior senator and am now serving as a senior senator. My favorite part of being in student government is working with my committee, the Internal Operations Committee, to make our government more efficient and streamlined with rules such as our bylaws. In my free time, I like to hike and watch Netflix.
Hello! My name is Elle Hernandez (they/them), and I’m stoked to be the Co-Chair of Student Affairs this year! This year I hope to build a safe and support environment for all students through fun events and the creation of new NCSSM-M traditions. This will include Motown Mixers, Spirit Weeks, Movie Nights, and whatever else the student body wants :)
Outside of my role in Student Government, I am heavily involved in Spectrum, Indigo Ridge, Theater, Robotics, and Research! Additionally, I am a big Pharmaceutical Engineering nerd, as well as an enjoyer of all things Jewish Religious Studies.
If you have any concerns or questions—or especially ideas for new events—do not hesitate to reach out to me via email (hernandez26l@ncssm.edu). If you see me around campus, feel free to say hi as well! I can’t wait to see what this year has to offer our student body.
