Briefly explain your platform.
Look into textbook exchange modeled after Craigslist. New media director position would revamp ASUO Web site to make information more accessible to students. This is a fundamental issue that could have been addressed a long time ago.
What qualities and experience qualify you to be ASUO vice president?
Several things. A lot of students are qualified to do this, they just don’t come out. I am distinguished because I have worked with the Oregon Department of Education since high school, and am interning with (it) this summer and will work with Susan Castillo. I’ve put on campus events and worked with many campus organizations. Outreach is a big issue and I would have that experience coming in. Last term I helped put on a four-day national conference.
