Demi Falcon – Current Associate Director of Academic Engagement
Demi Falcon is majoring in political science and public policy. She works for a nonprofit organization that prioritizes clean energy, education and public lands conservation. She enjoys hiking, cycling and will be participating in the Tour de Summerlin this year.
She has been in CSUN since 2014. On her first day of college she went up to the third floor of the Student Union and requested that she be able to run for senator. In 2015, she became executive director, but when she began to miss the interactions between herself and registered student organizations (RSO), she decided to become the associate director of academic engagement.
As senator, Falcon increased the amount of money that could be allocated toward RSOs from $200,000 to $250,000 to provide more funds to less established RSOs that wanted to have a larger influence on campus. As executive director, she helped the former vice president, Taylor Cunningham, manage the various departments under the executive branch. As associate director of academic engagement, she hosted events for students to learn how to apply for scholarships that are provided by CSUN, grants for undergraduate research, and mentorships with professors.
If elected, Falcon would want to create a more academically-minded environment on campus and allocate more money toward scholarships, grants and student organizations. She also wants to work with more diverse groups because of the influence they have on campus. She said she believes that by enacting these changes, UNLV will become more like a Tier One institution.
“The biggest thing I want is more student voices, more [of a] student narrative,” Falcon said. “I don’t think that my opinion is any greater than any other student’s on campus.”</ref>[1]</ref>
