On behalf of the student organization DanceWorks at Syracuse University, we endorse Taylor Carr for Student Association president.

As one of the many dance organizations on campus comprised of more than 120 active members, we believe that it is our part to ensure our campus has the best leaders possible. We believe it is vital to have a candidate with experience in numerous student organizations to run such an influential organization on campus such as SA. Through Carr’s work on the Non-Traditional Student Commission, his time as a part of the Residence Hall Association and as chair of the Student Life Committee on SA, Carr has spearheaded multiple great initiatives to help better student life on this campus.

The protection and ability to advocate for students is something we at DanceWorks believe to be an absolute necessity when it comes to electing the leader of our student government. Through his work on the cyberbullying resolution last semester and his continuous advocacy work as the chair of the Student Life Committee, Carr has showed his ability to work with a wide range of student organizations to get tasks accomplished quickly and effectively. Most importantly, Carr has proven that he can and will be a great leader at this university.

Furthermore, as an organization that values community service and getting off the Hill to engage with the community, we are impressed with Carr’s initiative to mandate the members of SA partake in off-campus community service as well. Civic engagement is important to us, and we look forward to potentially joining forces with SA and other student organizations to get off the Hill and into the community more often.

On behalf of DanceWorks and all active members, we hereby state our official endorsement of Taylor Carr for president of the 56th session of SA here at SU.
