The Association of Students of the University of Nebraska has internally elected Christine Trinh as its next speaker of the senate for the 2021-22 administration. Trinh, an Asian American woman and a sophomore economics and political science double major, joins an already diverse elected executive team, led by President Batool Ibrahim, ASUNâs first Black president, internal Vice President Taylor Jarvis, an openly bisexual woman, and external Vice President Patrick Baker. âIt is so cool seeing representation happen right in front of you,â Trinh said. The new speaker is breaking barriers herself. Trinh is the first woman to assume the role of speaker since the 2012-13 ASUN administration, and she breaks a streak of eight white men who have served in the position during the same time period, according to a text from Drew Harrahill, ASUNâs 2020-21 internal vice president.
