With SGA elections upon us, several candidates have decided to run for the offices of President and Vice President. Among those who would like to earn the vote of FIU’s student body are Alyssa Medero, running for SGA President, and Isabella Romeo, running for Vice President.
Medero, a Cuban-American political science and pre-law student, highlights her experience in student government as one of her main qualifications to be president.
“I previously served as Secretary of Governmental Affairs and currently serve as Chief of Staff. Through these roles, I have helped build and maintain a strong, functioning Cabinet that actively serves the student body.”
She further added, “I believe Isabella and I are the right Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates because we have already been working to create real change for students.”
Both candidates highlighted transparency as one of their main priorities if elected, promising to consistently report back to students on SGA activities via social media and to make official SGA meetings more accessible to the wider student population.
Romeo, a Trinidadian-American political science and pre-law student, added, “We want to make SGA more forward-facing by intentionally engaging with the many communities that make up FIU.”
Medero and Romeo also reaffirmed their commitment to support the Student Food Pantry through the “Food-for-Fines” program, in which students can have their parking tickets forgiven in exchange for a donation to the pantry.
The housing problem is another issue they promised to address, with Romeo stating, “As Vice President, I would work to ensure that student concerns about housing are clearly communicated to university leadership and housing administration.”
When asked what students can expect from her in her First 100 Days, Medero answered, “In our first 100 days, students can expect transparent, accessible, and forward-facing leadership. That means clearly communicating what Student Government is working on, being present at student events, engaging directly with students, and making sure they know how to connect with their student leaders.”
Romeo concluded by saying, “My message to students is simple: your voice matters. Student government works best when students stay engaged, ask questions, and participate in shaping their campus community.”
