MOORE  

My name is Kitt Moore, and I am excited to announce my candidacy for the office of Clemson University Student Body President.  I was born and raised in Barnwell, SC, where from day one, I was dressed in Solid Orange. My family instilled a special love of Clemson within me and taught me to always be a part of the bigger picture. That is, to live in service of others for the greater good of my community and for what is morally right. It is because of this foundational belief and my love for Clemson that I have chosen to run for President.

Currently, I am a junior pursuing a degree in Agricultural Mechanization and Business with a minor in Agricultural Business Management. After graduation, I plan to work as a produce broker. With my desire to return to the farm, I have no other reason to run for Student Body President other than to serve the only place I love more than my home, Clemson University.

With a passion for student safety, inclusion, and appreciation, Raegan and I intend to make the Clemson family feel more alive than ever before. It is our goal to unite the students, faculty, and staff to be One Clemson, One Family. Student Government is often perceived as an organization that only allows certain people or elite groups to participate. We intend to change the focus of Student Government to ensure that we embrace all individuals and organizations. I, personally, want every student to trust that under our leadership, Student Government will serve the entire student body. Raegan and I are involved in a variety of campus organizations and will not be limited to the opinions of one group. We are both humble individuals who are willing to listen and lead with “you” in mind at all times.  Our transparency has helped guide us to where we are now, and we plan to continue in these efforts of honesty and trust during our terms.

Throughout my life, I have had several opportunities in which I was able to grow as a leader. I was Vice President of the National Honor Society, a Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Delegate, 2011 Boy State Commissioner of Agriculture, 2012 Young Ag Spokesperson of the Year, Vice President of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity, Vice President of the Agricultural Mechanization Club, and Student Senate Ambassador. These positions have taught me how to better serve, compete and organize while staying true to my beliefs.

As President, I plan to continue in my efforts of service to others and hope to unite our student body. I am passionate about equality and plan to make every student feel at home and appreciated here at Clemson. During my term, I would invite all students to interview for open positions within Student Government. We will be looking not only for a wonderful resume, but for passionate individuals who are humble-hearted and ready to be a part of the bigger difference. It is our diversity that makes our Tiger pride shine, and we plan to keep adding to it with our active Forward Vision!
