Hi! I’m Kal, your Speaker of Senate for the 2025-2026 school year. I’m a senior majoring in Theatre with a certificate in Teaching English Language Arts. This is my second year as Accessibility Senator after transferring to SOU last year. I’m honored to be a part of ASSOU, and I encourage everyone to show up to meetings to learn about important parts of our school like tuition, healthcare, and extracurricular events. I would also love for anyone to reach out to me or show up to my office hours to discuss anything you want to see changed at SOU.
