ARE YOU INTIMIDATED BY THE FOOTPRINTS KIRK LEFT BEHIND?
No, and the reason I’m not is because I have worked alongside Kirk for the last year. I know what to expect and plan to continue Kirk’s plan as well as begin my own.
WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO GIVE WT ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN ELECTED?
I hope to continue to give the students an even bigger voice in our University than what Kirk has already worked hard to achieve.
WHY DO YOU WANT THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE?
For starters, it has a window. But in all seriousness, I feel that I am well qualified to serve as Student Body President and have a passion for this University.
WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A LION, PTERODACTYL OR KANGAROO? AND WHY?
I would consider myself a Lion because of my leadership abilities, and I feel that I can get most anything done. Plus, I have a beard.
