Jess Errico, first-generation college student and NC State Student Body President 2018-2019 and Lily Neal, TRIO student and NC State Student Government Board of Elections Chair discuss how and why students need to be involved in student government and campus activities beginning in their first year on campus. How does a low-income first-generation afford to run for a campus leadership position – Jess shares what funding is available to you. The power students in leadership positions have to improve the lives of under-resourced students on campus is real! It was under the leadership of Jess that the university started the Pack Meal Share Program which students donate their guest meals for students experiencing food insecurity to access. The food was available in the dining halls and Student Government made sure the students in-need accessed it.
