About Beck

Fresh Perspective. Proven Results.

Hi, I'm Beck Riedel — a first-year student and your current Student Government Dining Liaison. I came to Wake Forest ready to make a difference from day one, and that's exactly what I've done.

In my first semester, I built real relationships with faculty and dining administration — and used them. I successfully advocated to bring Bento, Wake's beloved poke, sushi, and Japanese restaurant, under the Old Gold meal plan.

Some might say being a freshman is a reason to wait. I say it's my biggest strength. I see this campus with fresh eyes and have zero interest in the way things have always been done. Wake is Better with Beck.

The Platform

Four Promises to Wake Forest Students

These aren't just talking points — they're commitments. Here's exactly what I'll fight for as Speaker of the House.

Amplify Student Voice

Student government should be a direct line between you and administration — not a rubber stamp.

Regular open town halls with the student body
Anonymous feedback portal for sensitive issues
Transparent reporting on HOH decisions

Housing Transparency

The housing process is stressful and opaque. You deserve clarity and real answers when things go wrong.

Earlier housing assignment deadlines
Clear, step-by-step housing guides
Housing dispute support system

Stronger Clubs & Orgs

Student organizations are the heartbeat of campus life. I'll fight for better funding and real support.

Simplified event-request and budgeting process
Increased funding pool for student orgs
Dedicated club resource center

Better Dining

Already proven I can deliver. As Speaker, I'll keep pushing for a dining experience you actually love.

Student-led dining advisory committee
More allergen-friendly and dietary options
Flexible meal plan rollover policies

The Team

The People Behind the Campaign

I don't do this alone. My campaign staff are deeply embedded across campus — in your dorms, your clubs, your classes, and your dining halls. They know you, they hear you, and they make sure your concerns reach me directly. Together, we're building a Speaker's office that's truly connected to every corner of Wake Forest.
