Lillie Wise
Hi Zips! My name is Lillie Wyse and I’m a freshman here at UA. I’m majoring in political science with a minor in psychology. I plan to go to law school and one day become an immigration attorney. I am a member of the Williams Honors College and Rhythm and Roos -an a cappella group. In high school I had a plethora of leadership positions such as Vice President of History club, Treasurer of the choir, and Ambassador of the Ohio Attorney Generals Teen Ambassadors Board. In my short time at UA I’ve learned a lot about myself and the community around me. I love college life here at Akron! If I could give one message to any student it would be to walk in Love, spreading and carrying love in everything that you do can take you anywhere in life. Everyone is deserving of unwavering love and kindness. As a first year senator, I will strive to make every student feel the love, feel valued, and most importantly feel heard! Im so excited to see what this journey may bring! I hope you’re all having an amazing semester so far, go Zips!
Wyatt Bartholomew
Hello, Zips! My name is Wyatt Bartholomew, and I am a freshman at the University of Akron pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. I am a member of the Williams Honors College, RHPB’s Publicity Committee, and Emerging Leaders, as well as the Vice President of the Honors Residence Hall. In the short time I have been at UA, I have come to love the campus and the community. As a fellow first-year student, I understand the struggles that many of us face. I believe every student’s voice deserves to be heard. If elected as First-Year Senator, my main goals are to make sure students’ voices are heard, be an advocate for all first-year students, and help promote positive change across campus.
