President

Hunter Brooke, '25 

My name is Hunter Brooke, and I am a Junior from Paris, France. On campus, I live in Carroll Hall and I am majoring in Business Marketing and Political Science. I have had the privilege of serving in the Student Union for the entirety of my time at Notre Dame, serving on  FUEL as a member of the Sustainability Subcommittee & Executive Cabinet Communications department in the 2021-2022 term; as the Carroll Hall Senator & member of the Committee on the Constitution in the 2022-2023 term; and as the Student Union Parliamentarian and Club Coordination Council Cultural Division Representative in the 2023-2024 term. 

As Judicial Council President for the 2024-2025 term, my priorities are as follows:

1. Clean, Transparent, and Engaging Elections: Increase voter turnout by improving election publicity and ensuring the Judicial Council expands on electoral outreach and engagement with the Notre Dame student body. Decreasing allegations and sanctioning by increasing candidate awareness of campaign rules and clarifying some of the most common points of confusion during elections.

2. Efficient, Constitutional, and Procedural Operation of the Student Union: Strive to ensure all Student Union processes and decisions are harmonious with the Constitution and bylaws. Further guarantee that all student leaders are fully aware of their rights, responsibilities, and duties, and that all relevant constitutional provisions are respected and heeded. 

3. Constitutional and Organizational Reform: Continue to evaluate the structural and procedural issues within the Constitution and continue to work to ensure maximal efficiency of the Student Union.

4. Elucidate & Clarify the Judiciary: Continue to ensure the role of the Judicial Council within the greater Student Union is well defined and has developed strong processes to effectively and consistently rule on issues of interpretation and conduct. 

5. Peer Advocacy as an Institutional Presence: Increase the awareness and accessibility of the Peer Advocacy program through improved outreach and engagement with the student body, and further engage Peer Advocates within the Judicial Council.
