Candidate Bio

My name is Lamar Scott Jr., and I am a dedicated leader and advocate for student success at Grand Valley State University.

In addition to my role in Senate, I serve as the Secretary of Collegiate Midnight Golf, am involved in the GVSU Cadet Program, and actively participate in organizations that promote leadership, equity, and professional development. With a passion for public service and a future career in law enforcement, I am committed to fostering a campus environment that prioritizes student safety, inclusivity, and opportunity. If re-elected, I will continue advocating for increased student organization funding, improved campus safety measures, and initiatives that support leadership development for all students. Through my experiences in leadership, student advocacy, and community engagement, I aim to make a lasting impact at GVSU by ensuring every student feels heard, valued, and supported. I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving the student body and making positive changes on campus
