Favorite part of being ASUOP president this year:
ASuop has been a large part of college for me and I guess finally winning an election has been a dream come true for me. I have really enjoyed being greatly involved in the general planning for Pacific in the year 2015. Another thing that has made this year so wonderful has been having the opportunity to represent students to the Board of Regents. It really took me by surprise to see how truly student centered they are and how willing they were work with me.
Things you would like to see done next year:
I guess you could say that it takes about a year to set things up and another year to really get things done. For example, I have done quite a bit of work on getting more apartments on the agenda of the Board of Regents. Another very important thing I would like to see continued is to make sure students have an active and present representative at the high level committees. I would also like to see my work on keeping the “small school” feeling at Pacific in the year 2015. One thing you’ll miss the most about the position?
The one thing I will miss about the position is being a part of ASuop. I really love the people at the office and the supportive environment that it has provided me these past three years. Any regrets, or anything you could have done differently in this years campaign:
It was a very, very busy time for me. I was trying to study for three midterms, work on IPC budgets, still continue working 30+ hours a week as President and on top of all of that trying to run a campaign. I did the best I could have done under these conditions. Would I do anything differently? No. Do I have any regrets? No. Any differences between this election and last years:
There were three teams running and two of the teams were trying to attract the same voters. That is all I can say without getting into too much detail. Where do you see yourself next year:
Although it pains me to leave ASuop, after much thought I have decided not to return next year. I am going to be a senior and next year I need to start working on getting into a good grad school. I will be working in the office of student leadership and involvement as the student coordinator for the Passport to the Pacific and the leadership conferences. In addition, I will hopefully be working as an undergraduate research assistant to Dr. Ben Dennis in the Economics Department. On a side note, I will be serving as the Public Relations Coordinator for the Pride Alliance. My goal is to see the Pride Alliance move out of the basement and into a more suitable space on campus. Final words:
I would like to thank everyone. It has been a dream come true. You don’t have to be the president of ASuop to make a difference on campus, but it does help!
