2024–2025 Student Government Association (SGA) Officer Candidates

Jean Cuna, Candidate for 2024–2025 Student Government Association President

Hello! My name is Jean Cuna, and I would be honored to serve you as SGA President. I am a first-year transfer student currently completing my AAS in Legal Studies. As a former board member of the Elgin Community College Student Government, I have extensive experience with student government bodies. My intense passion for law, equality, governance, and social justice drives my actions here at Harper. As President of Student Government Association, it would be my upmost priority to ensure every student feels safe and welcomed on campus. Our student body comes from all walks of life; there is no one like you! Every student on our campus is unique, with their own personalities, beliefs, and experiences. As such, it is imperative that we accommodate every student in our school. Every student should feel safe on campus, able to be their true selves without hatred. Harper’s diversity is what makes us unique; diversity and inclusion is our strength. I am confident in my ability to administer the role of SGA President, and to ensure every student's voice is heard. It would be my honor to promote the welfare on campus, and to lead your Student Government.

Thank you, Jean

Muaz Hussaini, Candidate for 2024–2025 Student Government Association Treasurer

As a treasurer for the SGA of Harper College, I, Muaz Hussaini will be able to efficiently and with a timely manner manage and initiate any funds for student organizations. I will make sure to properly distribute and approve the funds while also making sure that they line up with the senate's policies (fiscal policies). I have worked with finances like these with my uncle as I in the past have managed his savings and sorted out different costs and numbers. I am familiar with it and am willing to make the finances as easy as possible for everyone to comprehend. I look forward to playing a significant role in Harper College SGA while making sure everyone is onthe right track in terms of spending and finances.
