I believe I have the skills to effectively represent our interests to the faculty and administration, and to build consensus around important issues. I want to use this position to empower students and ensure that our voices are heard," she said.

Having been entrusted with the mandate as the LSU president of KAAF University, Genevieve said her administration would be inclusive, collaborative and seek input of the general student body.

"I believe in working together to build a stronger law school community. I will actively seek input from all students, create opportunities for dialogue and engagement, and foster a sense of belonging for everyone. I will work to build consensus and find common ground on important issues. I will be a strong voice for students, working to improve resources and support. And I will always be looking for innovative ways to enhance the law school," she promised.
