Global and Public Health Sciences

As a sophomore studying Global and Public Health on the pre-medical track at Cornell, I am excited to run for Women's Issues Representative. My experience in healthcare and community service has prepared me to tackle critical issues on campus. Moreover, as a Meinig Family National Scholar, I have worked closely with university officials, including my current mentor, the Associate Vice President of Public Safety, to understand and improve responses to student needs, including sexual assault and mental health support.
   
   
Firstly, I aim to focus my efforts on implementing and enforcing more anti-sexual assault measures, such as bystander intervention trainings, self defense classes, increased awareness about support services for survivors, and increased transparency between the administration and undergraduate body. 
   
Secondly, I aim to improve access to essential products by expanding menstrual product availability in public restrooms and installing vending machines for reproductive products like Plan B in areas like West Campus.
   
Let's work together to create a safer, more inclusive Cornell.

Hi, I’m Kaitlyn Bell! I’m running for Women’s Issues Representative because I’m passionate about advocating for women’s voices and creating an empowering environment. As a member of the Cornell Society for Women in Business, I’m proud to promote leadership and uplift women in our community.
   
Community and advocacy are core to my values. As an ILR major, I’m committed to advocacy for all, understanding the importance of representation in student matters. My background in speech and debate has helped me develop strong communication skills, and I’m confident in my ability to listen, speak up, and act on issues that matter to you.
   
As a writer for the Cornell Daily Sun, I’m constantly learning about our community’s needs and experiences, and I want to use that knowledge to fight for positive change. Whether addressing big or small issues, I’m here to advocate for equal opportunities, women’s rights, and an inclusive environment.
   
If elected, I’ll prioritize creating opportunities for connection, empowerment, and access to resources for all women at Cornell. Your voice matters, and I’ll amplify it. Please consider voting for me to help create a Cornell where every woman feels heard, supported, and valued. Go Big Red!
