Hi folks! I am Max Ehrlich, a Junior ILRie. As a member of progressive orgs on campus, I hope to bring progressive values and a service oriented approach to the student assembly. I will be a representative for all ILRies, not just those interested in one particular career path or organization. That’s why I pledge to have an open door policy: I will always be available to listen to any requests, needs, or issues that you have.
   
It’s time for the student assembly to be a body that is actually responsive to students. As your rep, I will fight for the things that students, particularly ILRies, have been asking for:
-Urge Cornell to negotiate with TCAT to get all students FREE BUS RIDES, which Cornell used to provide

-Work with administration to protect STUDENTS' RIGHTS, RESEARCH, and CAREERS in the face of attacks from the Trump administration
   
-Fight to get ILR’s administration to recognize last year’s vote where ILRies requested to REMOVE THE 18 CREDIT REQUIREMENT
   
 -Push for Ives bathrooms to have 2 ply toilet paper (y’all know what I’m talking about)
   
 -Start a faculty lunch program where students can get funding for lunches where they can GET TO KNOW FACULTY MEMBERS whose research/career paths interest them.

Hi everyone! I've been honored to serve as your ILR rep on the Student Assembly this past year. With your support, we’ve accomplished a lot:
   

 ✅ Resolution 10: All on-campus housing must have Narcan, date-rape drug tests, etc. available
 ✅ Resolution 26: Every housing unit must be within 5 minutes of a vending machine offering 24/7 access to: Plan B; condoms; general medical products
   
I'm also working on installing sleeping pods and reclining chairs around campus (Catherwood is my top priority 😉).
   
As Chair of the Student Health Advocacy and Pulse Committees, I’ve led new policies focused on equity, health, and student well-being. This includes working with SAPs to create a safer campus environment.
   
I stand for Cornell’s values (Any person, Any study), even as outside forces test them
   
So what's next?
FIX TCAT ➡️Collaborate with TCAT to support drivers & improve service
HOUSING ➡️Work with Cornell Admin to continue to improve housing
FUN➡️Rage rooms during finals; more concerts; free merch
INFRASTRUCTURE➡️Create flashing crosswalks, Improve lighting
TRANSPARENCY➡️Work with ILR SGA, Hold ILR town halls, Secure org funding
   
‼️BRING ELECTRIC SCOOTERS & BIKES TO CAMPUS‼️
Let’s keep making every day a good day 💫
