Helping students and continuing in the positive tradition of his predecessors was the goal for a young man recently voted as the new student trustee.

Eman Dalili, 19, business major, said he strived to achieve the position as the Associated Student Organization Trustee.

“I got to see the work that (the prior trustee) did,” Dalili said. “That’s when I realized the real difference doesn’t come as ASO president, because (that’s about) micromanaging the people who are (working) under you. But trustee is (making) actual changes that you can implement to the school.”

Dalili said he recently got a complaint from a student saying that the campus police did not help him when he had a problem. The new trustee made arrangements to meet the head of the department the following day.

“I had a meeting with (Police Chief Michael) Trevis,” he said. “We discussed that particular situation, the different protocols and how he can make sure that his officers are treating every student with the respect (he/she) deserves.”
