Our Platform

BRIDGING THE GAP

Maura Hamilton, candidate for Speaker of the Student Senate, is looking to bridge the gap between students and Student Government. She seeks to help educate the students on what the Student Senate does, and help develop the Senators into better versions of themselves.

BRINGING THE CHANGE

Ashley Reynolds, candidate for Student Body Treasurer, seeks to bring about change in the Treasurer's office. With major uncertainty the past few years, Ashley will bring stability and trust back. She desires to create a transparent office that works with students to get their organizations the financing they need, and when they need it.
