According to Jackson, the Student Welfare Committee's job is to discover what students want and need.
"There was an incident with the art students' bathroom," she said. "It was in really bad condition. Also, the (Public Safety) call box by that building was not working, and it was not in a well-lit area. So, we fixed it."
While on the senate, Jackson has learned about agendas, recording the minutes, and how the meetings are run. For upcoming senators, Jackson asked that they all be true to their word.
"Stand by what you say," Jackson said. "If you say you are going to do something, then do it. If you are not trying to better something, then don't do it at all. If you have something to say, then join something. But if you just have something to say and you are not actually willing to do the work, then it's better for you not to say anything at all."
Although she is ready to take on a new adventure, Jackson says that she will miss her time in the senate.
"I have loved being a senator and I will miss it a little bit," she said. "One of the aspects I have liked a lot was seeing the debates because the president does not always agree with the senate or the senate chair or the judicial chair. There is always going to be some kind of disagreement, and it is not like an 'argument disagreement',t is like a 'debate disagreement.' It is so much fun to see how they cannot agree on a subject but still maintain their professionalism."
