My name is Abdalla Hassan. I'm originally from Egypt and came to this country three years ago. Unlike every other candidate running for SGA President, I’m not a political science major trying to practice politics. I’m a STEM major who wants to address real learning challenges on campus.My professional background isn’t in student government or campaign circles — it’s in student support. I’ve worked as a Learning Assistant, an Access Assistant at the library, and a peer tutor.

I’ve held multiple roles serving students directly, and those experiences have shaped my understanding of where GW is falling short.I remember the unsettling feeling of working a tutoring shift at Gelman Library — and having students tell me they couldn’t find any available tutoring slots for weeks. They needed help, and we didn’t have the infrastructure to support them. That’s a big reason I’m running: because our student services should reflect the needs of our student body.

I’ve also felt deeply unsettled by the political polarization we’ve seen on campus over the past year. It influenced the direction of my academic work — I took on a Middle East regional concentration through Elliott — and it inspired me to found Muslim Voice, a student organization committed to dialogue, moderation, and intellectual healing.I believe our campus has been through a lot. And I believe it needs to heal — academically, socially, and otherwise.We have a choice to make, together.

‍Let’s Heal GW.

Muslim Voice was established as a direct response to the increasing polarization on campus. Recognizing the divisiveness that was seeping into academic and social interactions, I founded the organization to provide a dedicated space for dialogue and mutual understanding. Muslim Voice is committed to fostering moderation and intellectual healing—a place where students from diverse backgrounds can come together, share perspectives, and work through differences constructively. By emphasizing respectful conversation and shared experiences, Muslim Voice aims to bridge cultural and ideological divides, helping to create a more unified and supportive campus community.
