Somer Alrai (she/her), your Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian Student Association (MEMSSA)-Endorsed ASUC Senator, is honored to serve as the sole representative for MEMSSA students in the 2025–2026 Senate.
Our coalition representing Middle Eastern, Muslim, Sikh, and South Asian students was born in response to heightened and racialized Islamophobia. While our faiths, cultures, and histories may differ, we are united by shared experiences of being racialized, misrepresented, and marginalized within campus institutions. Since 2008, the MEMSSA Senator has served as the exclusive voice for our communities within the ASUC, and Somer is honored to carry that legacy forward.
Grounded in community and a commitment to justice, the Office of Senator Alrai works to create spaces of belonging, advocate for culturally competent policies, and continue generational work. I am proud to carry on a legacy of student leadership that works for visibility, representation, and and meaningful change across our campus.
