Candidate Bio

My name is Lukas Hartley. I'm from Holt, Michigan, right outside of East Lansing. I'm entering my junior year, seeking a degree in Political Science. After GVSU, I plan to continue my education at law school. I am seeking reelection after my first term on Student Senate, where I served on the Events committee, participating and assisting in vibrant events around campus, and on the Allocations committee, approving thousands of dollars of funding for over 50 student organizations. I have a wealth of leadership experience, including serving as the president of Phi Kappa Tau. I also work for the Writing Center at GVSU, and serve as an intern for the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. I'm also a member of the Honors College, and have served as a New Student Mentor for the Honors College. I'm incredibly involved on campus, and I believe my connections within Greek Life and the Honors College give me an excellent variance of student experience to draw on and bring a unique perspective to Student Senate, and fight for the betterment of the student experience here at Grand Valley.
