Tomorrow and Friday, Duke undergraduates will elect a new DSG president to helm the organization for the 2018-19 academic year. Students will be tasked with choosing from a pool of five extremely talented and zealous peers: juniors Kristina Smith, Sean Bissell, Sabriyya Pate and Yemi Kolawole along with first-year Jamal Burns. Their respective platforms and visions for the University encompass everything from combating sexual assault to working towards structural reforms within DSG itself. After strongly considering the specifics of each candidate’s platform, we strongly encourage the student body to rank Kristina Smith, current vice president for services and sustainability, first when voting this week.

This Thursday and Friday, the student body will collectively rank eight of their extremely accomplished, talented peers for the positions of DSG executive vice-president and president. At a research university with a compact undergraduate population exceeding 6,000, the positions of DSG President and EVP can inspire a certain type of awe and reverence. Here, within a pool of some of the brightest and most talented students from all across the world, we annually elect one of our peers to helm DSG in the hopes that they will lead the student body in a more progressive direction as “The Duke of Duke.” Such saccharine idealism aside, it is important leading up to DSG election day, that students truly reflect on what it means to be a leader on this campus beyond the campaign flyers and Facebook profile pictures.
