My name is Ronan McKenzie, and I am running to be a board member of the University of Waikato Students Union. Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable decline in the vibrant student culture that once defined our university experience. I am passionate about bringing that culture back to life. By fostering a sense of community, encouraging diverse events, and creating spaces where all students feel connected, I am committed to working hard to ensure that every student has the opportunity to engage, participate, and thrive.
