As an SGA representative, I want to voice opinions of the student body honestly and efficiently. When I am an events committee member, I will make sure that your opinions get heard, and that desirable and fun events are chosen.
I want to help bridge the gap between the students and school leaders to advocate for student needs and help everyone. I hope to make our school a more welcoming environment where everyone is heard and cared for!
I want to accomplish an effective-mode of communication from student to administration in ASMSA as an SGA representative. I want to ask around campus of certain wants and means of the student community and represent them accurately through my voice and decisions.
1st Floor Faris
I want to properly represent all the voices of my floor. This means passing opinions and legislation that don’t represent my interest s but rather my floors interests.
For me, I would not only want to accomplish a better understanding between not only SGA and the student body. But I would also like to help branch out a better communication with staff and students over important decisions, transparency, and making sure everyone is informed and included in how resources are used. Also I am a big boss so I can reassure everything will be dealt with quick ease and precision.
I want to help bridge the disconnect between the staff of ASMSA and the student body. The lack of open communication about student needs and school spending has created a chasm I want to help close.
2nd Floor Nichols
I want to keep creating change through SGA. I know last year there were talks about changing the times of the Academic and CIC to close at 10/ 10:15 to give students more time to use resources in the building, but there was never a formal bill made to propose this idea. I hope to be the one to write the bill.
I want to bring more diversity to ASMSA and keep what we do have. It’s important for me to make sure everyone has a voice, and I will do my best to hear every single student out.
I want to get the student body’s concerns and suggestions recognized. I’ve seen how unhappy students can get from having their opinions unheard coming from my own sending school. I don’t want my peers to have an experience that doesn’t listen to their students.
2nd Floor Faris
I want to allow students to express minor concerns and complaints, give them larger voices, and change the ideas being perpetuated about new students. I want to make changes, get more information about SGA out there, and represent the opinions held by my peers.
As a SGA representative, I want to improve the daily livelihoods of all students here at ASMSA. My main priority will be with making sure that any issues that need to be addressed will be and to try my best to assist with anything in general that a student may need/request.
I want to work toward healthy, yet flavorful food, along with improving overall student wellness.

I want to make sure everyone is heard through SGA and that every student feels taken care of by the school. Everyone here struggles at some point, and I want them always have someone in there corner.
I wish to make sure my peers are aware of and are comfortable with our mental and physical health resources at ASMSA such as counseling, YMCA trips, cafeteria food and much more. I want to make sure all students have a voice by sending out anonymous surveys and always being open to suggestions. I hope to be active in the ASMSA community!
In the little time that I have been here, I’ve heard people telling me things that they wish that they could change about ASMSA and I want to be a voice for them. I wish to be the person that people can go to when they need help and I wish to help them accomplish the things they want, like having a voice at ASMSA.
If elected, I would love to help the Events Committee and contribute to all the major activities that SGA hosts and perhaps come up with new ones. At previous events, I really enjoyed seeing everyone coming together and it is a huge goal to be a part of that this year.
By becoming a SGA representative, I hope to better our student life balance and improve our environment for further experiences. I want to stand up for the community and make an impact to ASMSA by advocating for our students.
I want to build a community through engaging events.
3rd Floor Faris
I want to improve student life and be a voice for students in need.
I want to increase both our club funds and variety of food choices.
As an SGA representative my goal would be to allow students to pursue their passions to their fullest extent. I would hone my attention and efforts on enabling the funding and availability of interests that students wish to follow. My dream is that every student at ASMSA has the opportunity to become anything and anyone they wish to become, with no limits getting in their way.
I want to bring about a fun, and stress free environment when many students and staff are stressed from simply attending ASMSA. Also, I intend to bridge the gap between students and adminiatration to do things such as(but not limited to) ensuring fun events where people can relax, have fun, and genuinely let go of stress.
I want to improve student life by listening to students and turning their ideas into real changes. I also want to make the club and SGA funding process easier, more organized, and more efficient for everyone involved.
I believe I should be in finance because I can make the whole department more efficient. In terms of leadership, I was president of the student body 2 years in a row at my sending school. I also believe I can make sure all clubs get the funding they need. Overall, I would be a great asset to the finance subdivision of SGA.
I want to make the school a better place. I will advocate for the student body in a productive manner.
I want to create easier communication pathways with my floor and REC, making easier feedback pathways for students to use, and I plan on giving students more events that help create these connections.

I'd like to help express student concerns and in general improve life on campus for faculty and students.
In SGA, I want to make sure that our student voices are not just heard but followed through on. As we basically live here for half the year, our opinions are important. I want to make sure our food options, our events, our finances, etc have student opinions taken into account.
As an SGA representative, I want to make sure that students are heard and included. I hope to help in creating more engaging activities that will help enhance student's wellbeing!
