David Hawkins - Senior, Financial Economics Major | Wilmington, DE Student Government Association President 2022-2023

As a first-generation college student, I embarked on my journey at Delaware State University (DSU) with uncertainty about my future. However, I was determined to make the most out of my college experience and education. Choosing to become involved with campus life became my guiding compass, igniting a passion for student leadership that would shape my path and leave an enduring impact on the University.

During my freshman year, a pivotal moment occurred when I connected with two extraordinary individuals who would become early mentors and ignite my entrepreneurial spirit. Dr. Michael Casson and Mr. Wade Robinson, through their wisdom, guidance, and business acumen, inspired me to pursue my own real estate ventures. Their mentorship not only developed my understanding of the business world but also instilled in me a sense of possibility and the courage to pursuemydreams.Following,IattendedtheEbonyTie Affair, an esteemed event that brought together DSU alumni and influential figures. It was there that I had the incredible opportunity to meet Dr. Allen and other remarkable alumni whose stories of success, resilience, and commitment to making a difference deeply inspired me. Their experiencesawakenedafirewithinmetopursuestudentleadershipatDSU,knowingthatIcould beacatalystforchange.

Motivated by their powerful narratives and driven by an unyielding ambition to empower myself and my peers, I set forth on a transformative path as a student leader. Recognizing the responsibility that came with being a first-generation college student, I sought to pave the way forfuturegenerationsandmakeameaningfulimpactoncampus.

My journey as a leader commenced with my appointment as the President of the Men of Color Alliance. Leading this organization allowed me to champion personal development, professional growth, and community service for men of color on campus. It became a platform through which I could inspire and uplift my fellow students, providing them with vital mentorship, resources, andastrongsupportnetwork.

However, my passion for effecting positive change extended beyond the Men of Color Alliance. As the SGA President, I eagerly embraced the opportunity to advocate for my peers and spearhead initiatives aimed at enhancing campus life. Collaborating with DESUtv, I amplified student voices and showcased the vibrant achievements and activities of our DSU community through engaging media platforms. Through strategic vision and effective communication, I soughttofosterunityandinstillprideinourstudentbody.

Recognizing the power of technology in improving the student experience, I played a pivotal role in the development of the DSUHub app. This innovative solution streamlined campus life, granting students easy access to resources, event information, and academic tools. Through this initiative, I was integral to the design and student experience process as they navigate their Universityjourney,fosteringefficiency,connectivity,andstudentsuccess.

Furthermore, my commitment to inclusivity bolstered support for the necessity of the creation of the Safe Space Coalition. This vital platform facilitated open dialogues, awareness campaigns, and policy reforms, ensuring that every student felt heard, respected, and valued within our DSU community. I am immensely proud to have played a part in fostering an inclusive and empoweringenvironment.

My story as a student leader exemplifies the transformative power of resilience, dedication, and the pursuit of excellence. As a first-generation college student, I overcame uncertainties and embraced my potential to inspire others. My journey at DSU has not only shaped my own future but has also paved the way for future generations of student leaders. Through my remarkable leadership, unwavering dedication, and commitment to student advocacy, I stand as a beacon of inspiration, empowering others to embrace their potential, effect positive change, and leave an indelibleimpactontheircommunities.
