It is with confidence that the Engineering Student Government endorses Stefani Jones for president of Duke Student Government. After interviewing the candidates, we found both Stefani and Patrick well qualified and supremely capable. However, with respect to the engineering student body, we found that Stefani has the priorities and skills to best serve us as DSG president.
Stefani showed an understanding of the Pratt School that inspired faith among our board. She was well versed in the goals, projects and activities of ESG, and demonstrated an active interest in engineering affairs. In particular, Stefani’s interest in improving Pratt advising and expanding study abroad opportunities for engineers shows an understanding of the issues and a genuine desire to improve the engineering community as a whole. In addition to these aspects, Stefani shows an attention to improving DSG-ESG cooperation and incorporating more national alumni relations in Pratt school activities. Ideas like these, as well as the main facets of her platform, are why we believe Stefani will make a strong and capable president.
Her experience with student groups across campus, her advocacy work and her familiarity working with administration and faculty are all factors we believe make Stefani an ideal candidate for DSG president. For Pratt, as well as the whole campus, ESG firmly believes Stefani will make a great president.
