Campus Conversation: Jaheem McLaurin



"My involvement with student government started in middle school when I served on student council, and I continued in high school in various roles including student body president. Here at Carolina, I applied for a vacant senate seat position because I knew that was the best way to get involved and be an advocate for my fellow Gamecocks. It has had a lasting impact on me as I consider it to be an opportunity to empower and create positive change. I'm also a part of Carolina CLIMB, University Ambassadors, East Quad Hall Government President, MAPP Program, OSP Program, Gamecock Connection, Gamecock Pantry, Carolina Service Council and the CFELP Leadership Program. I'm also a Mayor’s Fellow for the City of Columbia where I do a variety of different tasks including assisting staff with research, helping with special projects and various office tasks. My current experiences are building the foundation of my post-graduate future."
