Hi everyone! My name is Lizzie Ford and I'm from San Mateo, California. I am a sophomore and a double major in Spanish and Political Science with a possible minor in CSRE. I am the Chair of the Student Life Committee and a member of the Appropriations Committee. This year I have worked on supporting the dining hall workers in their ongoing campaign for respect and a fair workload. I also spearheaded a joint-resolution in support of professional development for service workers. I continue to advocate for these workers in meetings with Stanford's HR department and R&DE. I have enjoyed my individual project so much that I plan to continue working with the workers' union even after my term as a senator ends. Outside of Senate I enjoy working with immigrants in Redwood City every week and listening to salsa music ("Vivir Lo Nuestro" is a fan favorite).

Hey y'all! My name is Hamzeh Daoud. I'm an international student here at Stanford from Jordan, and am a third generation Palestinian refugee. I'm a sophomore and a prospective International Relations major and Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity minor. I currently serve as the chair of the Advocacy Committee on Senate and have been focused on projects that affect international students at Stanford, be it through funding or job opportunities, and events that advocate for institutional change at Stanford. Outside of Senate, you can find me acting in theater productions around campus, including Romeo and Juliet that's coming up this quarter during week 7, and biking around campus playing music very obnoxiously! Fav spot on campus is Pigott Theater :)

Senate Spotlight:

Hi! My name is Doris Rodriguez but I also go by Dory. I was born in Honduras and raised in Miami, FL. I am a sophomore and a possible Sociology or Psychology Major (or maybe both!). I serve as an ASSU Senator but I consider myself a student activist first and so my individual projects overlap in many areas. Some of these projects include preparing for a post DACAmented Stanford, improving the RA & RF trainings, raising the bar of social inquiry for our investments, and summer storage for FLI students. Outside of Senate I spend my days rollerblading around campus, playing basketball, exploring the bay or just chilling with friends.
