Analee DeGlopper: The future of USA

By: Clémence Burg, Contributor

Energy, passion and determination: three words that perfectly capture Analee DeGlopper, the newly elected incoming President of the United Students Association (USA) at Canisius. With this election, DeGlooper stood out as one of the most engaged and forward-thinking student leaders on campus.  

Analee DeGlopper is currently pursuing a double major in Political Science and Criminal Justice, along with a minor in History. She is also part of the Honors Program and the Pre-Law Program,  designed for students aiming for law school. Outside of academics, DeGlopper also serves as a  Resident Assistant, a leadership position, where she supports students in residence life and  helps build a safe, inclusive and welcoming community. 

This upcoming summer is defining, in fact DeGlopper will be focused on preparing for the LSAT,  the entrance exam required for law school. “This is very exciting, a little scary and  overwhelming but I am excited to just start the process and then hopefully in the fall do my  application and everything and if that goes well go to law school,” she said 

From Vice President to President, it's just a short step. DeGlopper’s leadership journey has already taken root through her impactful work as Vice President of the USA. “It would be a disservice to only talk about half of them,” she laughs. “As a VP, I got to work closely with the entire Senate and all its members. We meet weekly to make sure everything’s on track. What made it special is that I got to collaborate with everyone. Each senator is responsible for creating a project or event that benefits the entire community, and I had a hand in overseeing all of it”. 

Now stepping into the presidency, DeGlopper is ready to take a different role.“The difference between VP and President is that the VP has more specific tasks, while the President has a broader role, especially when it comes to working with the faculty and external partners. I can’t say much yet about our upcoming projects…but they’re going to be so great!”

Beyond student government, DeGlopper is deeply involved in campus life. She’s been part of the  Model United Nations for three years now, and is active in the Pre-Law Society and other academic societies which give her the opportunity to connect with a wide range of students across disciplines.  

For students considering getting involved in student  government, DeGlopper has a clear and open message: “All our meetings are public and take  place every Friday. If you’re even slightly curious, come and check out or send me an email  (degloppa@canisius.edu). We’re always looking for new members and fresh project ideas!” 

Driven, thoughtful and community-minded, Analee deGlopper is a rising leader at Canisius  whose journey is only beginning. Her ability to balance academics, leadership and long-term  goals make her a standout voice in shaping the future on campus and beyond!
