He is involved in a number of groups and activities including Sigma Pi Fraternity, Special Olympics and College Life at 黑料吃瓜 Campus Ministry.
As student trustee, Collins said he plans to contribute his perspective and experiences as a student to "inform decisions as we move forward to returning to a more-recognizable, pre-COVID-19 environment" and that he would strive to "ensure every student feels their opinions are heard, valued and respected."
