Hey y'all! My name is Tia Miller and I am in Nursing 308/309!

I am running in order to enhance the nursing student experience and adhere to any wants/needs that may arise! :)
My major is my passion! That being said, I am also involved in the Student Nurses' Association, Acadiana Black Nurses' Association, and Nursing Dean's Advisory Board!

Being a senator would allow me to be the voice of so many within my college and help make changes within the college to elevate it to the next level.

I want to advocate for nurisng students and create a positive environment to increase the success of our nursing students.

- Matthew Abapo, EXCEL
- Lauren Pitre, Independent
I’m running to be a SGA nursing senator because I want to advocate for collaboration with peers and for the betterment of mental health. While the nursing program encourages to work with peers, there isn’t a push for it. I also believe there needs to be a stronger emphasis of self-care through the promotion of mental health practices-something that can benefit everyone.
I’m a soul camp mentor, actively involved with the Tri Sigma sorority, and an honors ambassador!
- Khloe Carr, Independent
- Ceira Jones, Independent
I am running for Nursing Senator because I believe the College of Nursing has made a lot of improvements as far as technology and appearances, but not as many advancement have been made catering to student satisfaction. I want to be a student advocate and help move into place the wants and needs of the students sitting behind desks and standing in clinical spaces day in and out.
I got to serve on Krewe of Roux Court 2024 as UL Student Nursing Association’s representative! I also helped decorate our float and we won the people’s choice award!
