NTID Senator

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

I am running for NTID Senator because I am passionate about advocating for the Deaf and hard of hearing community. My goal is to promote inclusivity, enhance accessibility, and ensure every student’s voice and hand are seen.    As an NTID student, I’ve experienced both the challenges and opportunities within our community. I am committed to improving communication between students and administration, expanding accessibility resources, and fostering an environment where everyone thrives.    I am ready to represent you with integrity, determination, and a deep commitment to our community. Vote Emma Vollmar because your voice and hand matter!

My Platform for NTID Senator    I am running for NTID Senator to improve accessibility and ensure that every student has the support they need. My priorities are:    

* More Accessibility – I want to push for better access to resources, classrooms, and services for all students. Accessibility should be a standard, not a challenge.  

 * Collaboration with RIT – NTID and RIT must work together to provide stronger support for Deaf and hard-of-hearing students. I will advocate for better communication and cooperation between both institutions.    

* Improving NTID’s System – NTID’s policies and services should work for students, not against them. I will focus on making the system more effective, transparent, and inclusive.    

* Listening to Students – Your voices and hands matter. I want to ensure that every student is heard and that concerns are addressed in meaningful ways.    * Believing in Change – I truly believe we can improve accessibility in our buildings, staff, and faculty. Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment.    

Let’s work together to make NTID a better place for everyone!
