ABOUT THE TAR HEEL TARGETS
The Tar Heel Targets serve as our campaign agenda and are designed as a blueprint to create a more actionable and transparent student government. They outline 12 key issues that our administration is committed to addressing within the Executive Branch. Each target represents a specific student concern, paired with specific, actionable goals that reflect the policy proposals we aim to advocate for.
HOW DO THE TAR HEEL TARGETS ADDRESS DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION?
Our campaign is built on a commitment to fostering belonging, respect, and opportunity for every student. With the guidance of two DEI Policy Directors and several DEI advisors, we developed inclusive policies tailored to address the need of our student body. By breaking our policies into 12 targeted areas of focus, we have strived to cover the necessary accessibility, representation, and support needs for all. We remain open to listening, learning, and taking action to create a campus where everyone can thrive and encourage any member of the student body to contact us if they have any input into the goals of our targets.
WHAT INSPIRED THESE TARGETS?
When our team came together to develop the policy priorities for our campaign, we set out to change the way policy is approached by the Executive Branch. Our vision was to create a centralized platform focused on actionable targets rather than fragmented proposals. The Tar Heel Targets were inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the United Nations 2030 agenda, which Adolfo has passionately supported since he was 15. This framework has allowed the international community to drive impactful action in a centralized manner, allocating resources and efforts toward key issues over an extended 15-year period.
