Ekins said she had to revamp her goals and platform as a student senator with the reorganization of her college.

Ekins helped further a resolution asking that college graduation ceremonies remain intact in light of other commencement changes. She also helped launch a program to give $1,000 scholarships to hard-working students. Ekins joined forces with the Education senator to plan Education Week. She said she still plans to hold the traditional Family Life alumni forum this semester.
