I decided to run for my E-Board position because I wanted to take a more active role in supporting Tower Guard and helping our members stay on track with their service requirements. My position involves managing attendance, tracking volunteer hours, and keeping records organized so everyone knows where they stand and can focus on contributing to the organization.
What are your goals for TG in the 2025-2026 year?

Grace Eliya
Hi! My name is Grace Eliya and I’m majoring in Human Biology through Lyman Briggs and minoring in Creative Writing. I’m also a part of the Honors College and the leader of multiple clubs including the Red Glasses Movement and One Love. I have a dream of becoming a doctor so I hope to find myself in medical school after my undergraduate education at MSU. In my free time, I love to work out, read, and hang out with friends and family!
Q&A
What made you apply to Tower Guard?
Upon doing research, I found that TowerGuard completely aligned with my goals and passions. I had an uncle who had multiple physical disabilities, preventing him from being able to perform daily tasks that most of us take for granted. Growing up with him taught me so much, and he was a constant reminder of what’s truly important in life. His death one year ago inspired me to help others who encounter hardships in their everyday lives due to a disability.
How did you hear about Tower Guard?
Honestly, the first time I heard about TowerGuard was when I got the email saying I was eligible to apply.
What made you run for your E-Board position? What are you responsible for?
Once I found out I got accepted into TowerGuard, I knew I wanted to be a part of Eboard, because I love working behind the scenes. Additionally, I wanted to make a bigger impact of the TowerGuard Community. As someone who frequently volunteers and is very organized, I thought I would be a perfect fit for Sergeant-at-Arms. In this role, I help keep track of volunteer hours, send reminder emails, and help our members stay in the loop!
What are your goals for TG in the 2025-2026 year?
One goal I have to make meaningful relationships with my fellow TowerGuard members and those I volunteer with. Additionally, I hope to ensure tracking hours runs smoothly. Next, my goal is to be someone people can trust and feel comfortable around.
