“I plan on bringing a great amount of change to the campus through this fantastic fellowship and lead the campus to greatness in all aspects,” he said.
The organization wants its students to be great academically, socially, personally and professionally.
Consonary plans on also bringing in more scholarships and internships for undergrad students by connecting with our alumni and bringing them back to encourage more students.
As president, Consonary plans to represent the organization like he always has – to the best of abilities.
“I will act as if it’s my own name I’m representing. I do not like putting my name on anything that does not meet my standards,” he said.
In the same manner, UAAM’s name will not be tied to anything unless it is excellent Consonery said.
