2020 - 2021 Senator Noah Braeger 2021 - 2022 Senator Jonathan Mousley
Farewell from Senator Braeger,
Welcome Senator Mousley
To say this past year has been a challenge is an understatement. We’ve been through a lot together, but we’ve emerged stronger. I applaud all of you for your resilience and send special congratulations to those of you who are graduating this spring. I wish to thank our Science Council, along with the many people who’ve supported me and our college’s efforts this past year.

As I complete my term, I’m pleased to welcome newly elected Science Senator Jonathan Mousley. Jonathan is an Undergraduate Research Fellow, majoring in mathematics and mechanical engineering. He’ll work toward increasing the visibility of research opportunities for undergrads, advocate for student employees and foster meaningful connections to help students post-graduation.

The future looks bright. Go, Aggies!
Noah
