Dylan Carson

My name is Dylan and I’m a first-year interested in majoring in government! In my free time, I love hiking, meditating, and watching Survivor (maybe I’ll get on it one day).    Having been a lobbyist for an environmental advocacy group, a member of my high school’s model congress team, and as I currently serve on my dorm’s hall council, I understand the importance of both publicly standing up for what I believe in and defending the interests of others.    As a student representative, I aim to bring this understanding to the Assembly. I know that it is not my job to just project my ideas onto others but also to get to know the Cornellians that I am representing and to understand what actions I can take that will best support their well-being.   For my part, I’d love to have more outdoor, school-wide events like field days, where students can compete in outdoor activities and bond with classmates. But I want to hear what you want too! That’s why I’d create a dedicated email and Instagram that lets you share your ideas directly. Whether it’s sending me an email, or scheduling a time to have lunch, my first priority is to understand the wants and the needs of the people I represent. It’d be an honor to represent the CAS community!
