The External Vice President’s primary role is to maintain and develop the MSA’s relationship and standing with other on- and off-campus organizations as well as the university. It is critical to our community's success that the MSA make use of the rich culture and expertise offered by the surrounding organizations and institutions. It is also important that the MSA serves as a respected key player within the broader Berkeley community. This is only possible with a serious commitment to relationship-building facilitated by the External Vice President.
The External Vice President will also seek to make the MSA's services more inclusive by planning collaborations with other cultural groups and establishing coalitions that build bridges of support between communities. The External Vice President will pursue university administrators to communicate our needs, secure additional resources, and expand the MSA's impact and outreach.
