This spring when the Tufts undergraduate student election season was starting, Amma Agyei, E22, didn’t even consider running for president of the student body.
Sure, she’d been a senator in the student government as a freshman, the Africana community representative for her sophomore and junior years, and president of the Black Student Union for the last two years. But it wasn’t until friends urged her to run for president that she put her hat in the ring.
It was a good move she won 70% of the vote, and became the first Black female president of the Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate, as the student government body is known. “The community voted for me based on my values, based on what I represent and what I stand for,” she says. “It feels good to know that they supported me.”
