Daniel Arendt, a junior pharmacy major at The University of Toledo, has been selected as the new student representative on the UT Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n

\"Arendt\"<\/a>

Arendt<\/p><\/div>On Sept. 5, the governor\u2019s office named Arendt the new student trustee. His two-year term will continue until July 1, 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am in love with this University, and I want to further my involvement in making sure that all students are represented and by helping this University mold the future for many students now and in the future,\u201d Arendt said.<\/p>\n

The position allows him to attend any committee meetings and to give student insight on points of discussion. <\/p>\n

The board really is concerned about what is going on and about students\u2019 opinions, Arendt said. Without student trustees giving the current student perspective, board members can only base decisions on how they remember college or through their kids\u2019 experiences. <\/p>\n

Arendt will be on the Academic and Student Affairs Committee, which oversees and continuously improves upon University academic, activities and student programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have had the opportunity to be heavily involved on campus in my time at the University, and I believe that this involvement has helped me truly see the student experience from almost all perspectives,\u201d Arendt said.<\/p>\n

He is involved in 11 activities and offices on campus, including Presidential Ambassadors, Lambda Sigma National Honor Society, Levis Leadership UT, Liftoff UT, Resident Student Association and Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. <\/p>\n

\u201cI really want students to understand that I\u2019m doing this because I want to,\u201d Arendt said. \u201cI want to be there for other students because I\u2019m a student, too, so I want to be utilized as a resource to get things done.\u201d <\/p>\n

Arendt joins fellow student trustee Laura Halpin, who has been working with the board for the last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
