As the student trustee, Duduit looks forward to sharing ideas on student technology as well as mental health opportunities.

“I’m very interested in fulfilling civil duties in my future,” Duduit said.

Having participated in Phi Theta Kappa, the Student Government Association and Student Ambassadors, Duduit said he believes he has developed the experience necessary to be an effective liaison for the students.

Duduit expressed his appreciation for Lake Land College’s quick action and communication during the transition to a virtual campus as well as his hopes for the future during this difficult time.

He said these events solidified his ambitions to become an engineer.
