GPI: Kira James, President of the Framingham State Activities Board

Dylan Pichnarcik / THE GATEPOST

By Dylan Pichnarcik Associate Editor What inspired you to join the Framingham State Activities Board? All of my friends were here. I was also not doing enough, so I really wanted to start doing more things. I was begged by Bella [Omar, Class of ’25]. When I was asked to join as an eBoard member, I started immediately. It was the day of Fall Fest in 2024, so I went down to help [FSAB], and then they were like, “Can you start actually helping with the event?” And I was like, “Sure!” So it was very exciting and very interesting, and also quick. What is your favorite part of student life at FSU? Being a part of the community - making friends. A lot of people that I know tell me that I'm very well known, and I like that. I like knowing a lot of people. I like being friendly to a lot of people. So talking to people and having this community is awesome. What do you want people to know about the Framingham State Activities Board? We love hosting fun events. And we love having people at our events, and we want everyone to have fun. So we want to do the most for everybody - all the students - as much as possible. What events are you most looking forward to this semester? I am so excited for our Black History Month BINGO! It's next week, actually, and we have really good prizes - like we have tickets to a concert. I'm also really looking forward to Sandbox. Sandbox is always really fun, and we're doing much more than we've done last year and previous years. So, very excited for both of those events.
