Najee Rodriguez, the chair of Justice and Equity for UPUA, has been involved in the committee since its inception. Elected as the first chair, he has sponsored and pushed for many of the committeeâs initiatives on the floor of the General Assembly.

Sheâll attend University Park in the fall 2021 semester, coming from Harrisburgâs branch â she said this was her first time visiting the universityâs main campus.
