CCSC Presidency
While President of CCSC, Columbia underwent several reforms that Flaxman helped bring about:
- Undergraduate financial aid was reformed for students with families making under 50K, with all their loans being replaced with grants. This was the issue upon which Flaxman ran for President.
- Undergraduate advising was reformed.
- The 6th floor of Lerner may finally be developed as part of the plan to reform advising.
- Revolutionized the student council president email. Students have varying responses to Flaxman's emails. Some say they are quite inspired.
He is not to be confused with his namesake, Seth Flaxman, Harvard '08.
