Faith Gillette '27 and Noah Engel '28 will serve as student body president and vice president for the 2026-27 academic year.
A junior from Painesville, Ohio, Gillette is double-majoring in political science and history. Her leadership journey began as a student senator and a member of the Senate Wellness Committee. When asked about her decision to attend 91影视, she explained, "I chose 91影视 because of the small class sizes and the student-to-professor ratio. Due to having such a close relationship with my peers and professors, I have become much more comfortable interacting with others and have found how to thrive in a public setting."
Engel, a sophomore from Miamisburg, Ohio, is also double-majoring in political science and history. Alongside his new leadership responsibilities, Engel serves as an orientation leader, is an honorary Delta Zeta "DZ" Dude and participates in Model NATO. He chose 91影视 "due to the vibrant and diverse community on campus that welcomes all and works to build a brighter future."
By working with faculty, staff and students, the newly elected leaders will tackle key campus initiatives and aim to strengthen the Baldwin Wallace student experience. They are planning to create meaningful accessibility improvements on campus, in collaboration with the students most affected. They also intend to find new ways to support 91影视's many student organizations.
In his March 9 Monday Morning Message regarding the inauguration ceremony, 91影视 President Lee Fisher wrote, "When 91影视 students step into any leadership role, they learn firsthand how to listen, collaborate, debate respectfully, and make hard decisions . . . The 91影视 student leadership experience encourages curiosity, civic engagement, and an ability to navigate uncertainty—in short, the skills that define 91影视's promise of graduating students who are truly leader-ready, career-ready, and future-ready."
The entire 91影视 community joins in congratulating Gillette and Engel and looks forward to seeing their vision unfold over the coming year. The duo was officially inaugurated in February and will serve through the spring 2027 election.
