Riya for the Tribe, Riya for You.

I will champion academic access through an “open-door academics” initiative that allows students to view syllabi, office hours, and resources across departments. This will break down barriers between majors and open opportunities for discovery. Whether it is finding a course that sparks an unexpected passion or connecting with a professor outside your field during their office hours, this initiative will empower the Class of 2029 to explore William & Mary’s rigorous academics fully and confidently.

I will advocate for strong support as we navigate housing shifts, campus construction, and new dining hall and dorm openings. Our class deserves stability during these changes. I will press for clear communication from administration, advocate for safe and accessible pathways, and ensure that new community spaces are created so every student feels at home. I will make sure that construction and facility changes do not disrupt learning or belonging, but instead become opportunities to strengthen our class unity.

I will elevate the Wellness of Body and Mind by securing healthier and transparent dining options, while also expanding access to meaningful mental health resources. Students should know what they are eating, have balanced choices that fuel success, and find real support when facing stress or challenges. By prioritizing both nutrition and mental health, I will help build a culture where wellness is not optional but essential for the success and well-being of the Class of 2029.
