Hey Badgers! I’m Mentalla Elgerf, a first-year Biotechnology student, and I’m excited to be running for the BUSU Board! I want to make sure every student has access to affordable and diverse food options while also pushing for more transparency, accountability, and stronger advocacy for student needs.  

My experiences have shaped me into a strong leader and problem solver. Being part of a BUSU club has taught me the value of teamwork, community involvement, and making a difference together. Through this, I’ve developed leadership skills that allow me to take initiative, bring people together, and create meaningful change. 

I’m here to listen, lead, and take action to improve campus life for everyone. Let’s work together to create positive change—vote Mentalla!
