At first glance, Kamau MuseMorris ’24 has all the qualities of a typical Undergraduate Senate candidate: a personable demeanor, a campaign Instagram account featuring his platform in bold-print infographics and a desire to “foster a sense of community among students.”
However, unlike frosh Senate candidates in previous years, he has never set foot on Stanford’s campus.
MuseMorris is one of several frosh running for Undergraduate Senate, vying to represent a student body they have mainly met through Zoom calls and computer screens. After the University canceled plans for frosh to return to campus in the fall and winter, this election process has been yet another example of how the pandemic has defined — and confined — their Stanford experience thus far.
