The Arizona Senate has confirmed Jadyn Fisher as the new student regent after her appointment by Governor Katie Hobbs. Fisher, a junior at Northern Arizona University, is studying elementary education with minors in history and communication. Her term on the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) will start on July 1, taking over from the outgoing student regent, Katelyn Rees.

ABOR Chair Cecilia Mata welcomed Fisher's confirmation, noting her strong academic performance and her potential to connect the board with students across Arizona’s public universities. As a student regent, Fisher will represent student interests and help incorporate their views into the management of educational policies.

Fisher has held several leadership roles in high school in north Phoenix and at Northern Arizona University. She has expressed a commitment to advocating for students and plans to focus on this during her time on the board.

In her first year, Fisher will serve as a non-voting member, a common practice for new appointees. She will become a voting member in her second year, aligning with Regent David Zaragoza’s term as the voting student regent.
