Wendy Iteghete

Name: Wendy Iteghete

Year: Senior

Position: President

Studying: Accounting

Why did you join Senate: I joined senate because I did not see myself represented. Instead of complain about it, I ran for a position as the cultural affairs representative. I wanted to give voice to those that also felt underrepresented. That goal I had as a first year has driven me in every aspect of my at the College of saint Benedict. I am even more excited for this year, because I am now in a position whereby I can bring about changes to our beautiful campus.

How long have you been on Senate: I have been on senate for two years, this will be my third year.

Favorite study spot on campus: My room, especially my bed, because I can go from studying to taking a nap.

Other activities on campus: I am an intercultural lead scholar and I am involved with the black student association.
