Student Leadership Team #Communications

~ NSC Student Leadership ~ Leave a comment

Welcome to 2020, North Seattle—and the first snow of the season! This week we introduce a new (old) member of our team, returning from last year’s cohort… Natasha! 

Pronouns: they/them/theirs 

Natasha is the Communications Officer, taking over for Kauser in her position as Communications Intern. As Communication’s Officer, they will be managing the Student Blog, maintaining bulletin boards around campus, and documenting events. Natasha joined Student Leadership because they wanted to know more about what’s going on around campus, and how and why decisions are made. They’re most proud of their work last year as the Layout Editor for Licton Springs Review (copies are free, and littered around campus! Look for the pink cover) and their favorite spot on campus is between the IB and AS buildings, where the stairwells are draped in vines. Natasha loves color coding and is constantly disappointed when it doesn’t end up worth the time it takes to do, and their secret talent is forgetting simple words at the most ironic time possible. After North they plan to get a Bachelors in Fine Arts, in order to continue their study of the more painstaking methods of making. 

Stop by the Student Leadership office (CC1446) to say hello! And stay safe out there!

Hey North Seattle! It’s been a while since our last student leader bio but this one will take us straight through finals! This week, our featured student leader is… Lily!

Pronouns: she/her/hers
Lily is the Research and Advocacy Board Coordinator and she joined Student Leadership because she wanted a chance to get more involved on campus. Lily’s favorite spot on campus is the Grove and her favorite Seattle spot is Magnuson Park. She is inspired by the ambition and motivation of those around her as well as her own desire to do and be better. Lily has a pet schnoodle (poodle-schnauzer mix) and is REALLY good at yoga. She is hoping to attend a 4-year college after graduating from North Seattle College and we wish her all the best when she takes that next step!

Good luck to all of you during this Finals season! Come drop by the Student Leadership office if you would like to start a club, want to get involved, or just want to hang and meet new folx! CC1446 is where it’s all at!

Student Leadership Team #Equity

~ NSC Student Leadership ~ Leave a comment

Hey North! This week our featured student leader is… Raya!

Pronouns: she/her/hers
Raya is the Equity Board Coordinator and joined student leadership to help promote EDI (equity, diversity, and inclusion) in her community. She strives to help others and to make North as safe and equitable an environment for all people. Raya is most proud of her work in hosting equitable events around campus, making policy changes, as well as the advocacy projects she works on in the Equity and Welcome Center. Raya’s favorite thing about North Seattle College is the leaves that grow on the buildings, and watching them change color as the seasons change. Her favorite spot in Seattle is Carkeek Park and something that makes Raya unique is her love for stickers (especially the multidimensional ones that you can squish; I didn’t even know that was a thing!). Things that motivate Raya include Alexandria Ocsasio Cortez and rabbits. When Raya graduates from North Seattle, she plans to transfer to a 4-year university.


Thank you for making this school a place that’s open to all! Come by the Student Leadership office (CC1446, across from the Grove) to say hi!

Student Leadership Team #CABCoordinator

~ NSC Student Leadership ~ Leave a comment

Hey North Seattle! This Thursday we are introducing you to one of our greatest connection pieces around campus… Emily!

Preferred pronouns: None, they/them, she/her

Emily also goes by Em or Emma and serves as the Student Cabinet Coordinator. As the CAB Coordinator, Emily meets with students that attend committees all around campus who provide updates to the Student Leadership team, and then those students share Student Leadership information back out to the committees. Emily joined Student Leadership so that she could make a difference for both the faculty and students, to help increase communication, AND to buff up her resume a bit (great thinking ahead Em!). Emily’s favorite spot on campus is the quiet/silent room in the tutoring center with her favorite spot in Seattle is Amazing Thai on Roosevelt Way; make sure to check them both out!
Emily is most proud of having made the President’s List and is hoping to pursue a Bachelor’s or even a Master’s degree after graduating from North Seattle (woo!)! She loves to cook and is sure that her cat and dog have planned some sort of political plan to manipulate more food out of her, but she knows!

Thank you for all your hard work Em! Drop by the Student Leadership office (CC1446, across from the Grove) to say Hi!

Hey North Seattle! We missed an introduction last week (woops!) but that just added to the excitement for us to introduce… Angel!

Angel is the Club Council Coordinator AND the President of the Student Veteran Community! Being the Club Council Coordinator, Angel is here to answer any questions you have regarding how to start a club and how to keep it going!

Hey North! Hope you’re staying warm in this chiiiiiilly weather! This week I would like to introduce you to the one, the only… SARAH!

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Sarah is the STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT and serves to be the student voice for the college. She joined Student Leadership so she could be part of the solution for the problems she saw on campus (instead of just complaining). One of her greatest accomplishments was conducting a fancy research project where she successfully inserted the human insulin gene into a fast-growing mushroom and got it to express! Sarah is also obsessed with tacos and her favorite animal THIS week is the highland cow. Her favorite spot on campus is an exposed pipe on the North side which she did a photo project on last year. One unique thing about Sarah is that she’s diabetic and wears an insulin pump. “Some people wear their hearts on their sleeves, I wear my pancreas in my pocket.” When she graduates from NSC, Sarah hopes to transfer into the neurobiology program at the UW and adopt a highland cow!

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this school! Come by the Student Leadership office across from The Grove (CC1446) to say Hello.

Hey North Seattle! As we said last week, every week we will be introducing you to one member of our Student Leadership team! On this beautiful second week of class, we introduce you to… Gigi!

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Gigi is the Finance Officer at the Student Leadership office focusing on where the student fees go to make this campus run smoooooothly. She is most proud of her coming back to school after a “looong break” and being willing to learn, make mistakes, persevere, and enjoy herself. She believes every meal should include carbs and is motivated by music and people. She joined Student Leadership so she could learn more about Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and be in a place where people actively pursued conversations and actions centered around EDI. Gigi’s favorite spot in Seattle is Fremont, where she used to walk the canal and get free samples of Theo Chocolate. After graduating from NSC, Gigi plans to go to the UW to major in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts and minor in ASL.

Come by CC1446 to meet her anytime! Welcome to the team Gigi!

Hey North Seattle! Every week we will be introducing you to one member of the Student Leadership team! This week we have the pleasure of introducing you to…

Kauser Gwaduri

Pronouns: She/her/hers

Kauser is the Communications Intern at the Student Leadership office, focusing on social media, the student blog, bulletin boards, etc. She is most proud of her current attendance at Seattle University in a Masters program in Student Development.

Kauser is motivated by desserts and the ability to support and empower other people to follow their dreams.
