Page 1 of 2 The Pacific student body has spoken: the ASuop President for next year is Adam Ellison. Joshua Foster will accompany him into office as ASuop Vice President.
This was a three-way race between Adam Ellison, Frankie Griffen and former President Mindy Kreitzman. Each candidate ran a creative, composed and consistent campaign from start to finish.  New ASUOP President Adam Ellison poses with his Vice President Joshua Foster. Adam and Joshua ran a very student-centered campaign and promoted ASuop’s mission, “students serving students.”
He is personally excited about the win, but maintains that the victory is primarily in the hands of the students. When asked how he felt about his victory he felt that “it is the students who won. I have said before, and I will say again that the election was not about the candidates. It was about students and their wants and needs. The students are the winners.”
And students should know that this ticket aims for success and is confident that they will find it. Adam explains that “Josh Foster and my own ability to lead this university is nothing short of rock solid. When we decided to run as a team, we decided to do it for the right reasons, for the students, and for their desires.”
After celebrating his win in Southern California with our Tigers at the Big West Championships in Anaheim, Adam came back to school focused and on a mission.
“Putting students first in everything we do is next year’s theme for the Associated Students. We will show the student body that ASuop is working for them every day. Josh and I will work on bringing more convenience to Pacific students through working to provide weekend hours at the Cowell Wellnesss Center, and by obtaining a national bank ATM on campus so that fewer students are charged ATM fees.”
Budget-wise Adam is supporting a full budget passage for arts and entertainment this year so that ASuop can afford to bring top name performers and speakers to campus next year.
For those concerned with the lack of campus unity Adam is also taking on that challenge along with the entirety of the ASuop staff.
Since the campus united on the election of Adam and Josh, the question remains: Why?
Adam thinks it was their campaign’s sense of clarity and honesty. When asked why he believes the student body elected them he explains, “I was elected because Josh and I got our message out loud and clear to many of the voters. Students were looking for qualified student leaders with an extensive passion for leadership and the success of our university. Students trust that we will keep our word and become the best leadership team Pacific has ever had.”
To the student body, Adam would like to express his gratitude and continued support. He hopes that more students will get involved in order to help his team do the best job they can serving the students’ needs. He does ask something of the students next year, “Please be active next year: get your friends involved, talk to your ASuop Senator, speak with your Vice President, Josh Foster and please, speak with me, Adam Ellison, your ASuop President. We are all here for you, and need your voice all year, not just when you vote.”
