SBC President Candidates
Joanna Lam
Hello Lowellites! My name is Joanna Lam and I’m running to be your next SBC President. After this unprecedented year, you probably want a sense of normalcy as we prepare to return to school. Through being LSA 2022 President for two years and spending this past year as an SBC Community Liaison, I’ve gained the experience needed to make your transition as smooth as possible.
We’re a Lowell divided: over admissions, renaming, you name it. You’ll need a leader with connections-- PTSA, School Site Council, SFUSD Student Advisory Council, Peer Resources, Wellness-- to bridge this gap.
I know I mentioned normalcy, but some things cannot go back to how they were. We need to protect survivors and continue education about sexual harassment and assault. The Padlet incident should not halt our anti-racism or equity work, and especially in our current climate, we need to be doing more.
I will adapt to change; I’ll make sure you have the rallies, dances, and events that make high school memorable. However, I’m also going to create change, because Lowell is at a turning point in its history, and it’s our job to head in the right direction. Vote Joanna Lam for SBC President!
