A Manitowoc County student has been named the president of a statewide organization.
Kendra Klein, who is studying at Lakeshore College, was elected to be the next president of the Wisconsin Student Government.
WSG is comprised of student representatives from the 16 Wisconsin Technical College System districts with a mission to “represent, promote, advocate and protect the interests of the technical colleges and their students.”
Klein is the first Lakeshore College student to hold this position, and she says she is “hoping to strengthen the communications and relationships among the 16 colleges’ governors and lieutenant governors so they can actively share their college’s unique strengths and needs.”
In her role as WSG president, Klein will not only attend the organization’s monthly meetings but also the Wisconsin Technical College System Board meetings every two months.
In February, she will meet with state representatives in Madison to discuss key issues important to WTCS students, including such topics as mental health support and resources, affordable education, food insecurity, and more.
