Ariela Allen

Year: Junior

Major: Economics

What inspired you to join Student Government?

I felt like joining SGA was a great way to connect with other student leaders who are passionate about enacting change on campus!

What drew you to your position?

Previously, I held the position as treasurer for Hillel, our Jewish student organization on campus. After cultivating the foundational skills necessary for this position (think partnering with executive officials to create budgets and expense recording), I thought being treasurer for SGA would allow me to deepen my understanding of how we finance institutional change.

What is your biggest goal regarding SGA this year?

My biggest goal regarding SGA is to strengthen the relationship between our different branches and my position, specifically by working together to allot financial resources for different positions, organizations and initiatives.

What are you looking forward to accomplishing this academic year?

As treasurer, my biggest goal is to increase the financial transparency between App and its students. I plan on doing so by creating student-friendly resources such as a presentation on the university’s budget and a flow chart detailing how organizations can receive funding.

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
