Bula Vinaka! My name is Gloria Tawake, and I am thrilled to put forward my nomination for the position of Pacific Director for 2025. Hailing from the beautiful country of Fiji, I am a proud Pacific Islander woman who is deeply committed to supporting our Pacific communities in every way I can. In this role, I aim to amplify our voices and address the challenges faced by both domestic and international Pacific students. My vision is to unite our Pacific brothers and sisters, helping them feel at home even when they are far from home, while also creating opportunities for them to thrive and succeed.
