Focused on advocating for campus resources in addition to advocating for more knowledge about existing resources by:

One year ago, we were elected based on what we would do for students, and we’ve reflected upon we’ve accomplished this year in this series. We believe we’ve worked hard to advocate for the students we love. However, there’s more to be done — which is why we strongly urge students to vote in elections this week on MySlice.

As elections for the 62nd Legislative Session commence, we hope students vote for the leaders that will continually ask themselves the only question that matters: What have we done for students?

Sincerely,

Angie Pati, Student Association Vice President

James Franco, Student Association President

The 61st Legislative Session of Student Association
