As a relative newcomer to Alaska, my passion project is advocating for in-person learning and e-campus reform at UAF. The expansion of the e-campus at UAF has been largely at the expense of in-person instruction, which discriminates against so many students who pay thousands of dollars for on-campus housing and to be taught by professors in collaborative, engaging, in-person settings. I am proud to promote the rights of all students so that we receive the promised value of the education that we pay for.

I joined ASUAF to help organize and grow the student body. My passion is to help in the continual effort to create a safe and sustainable community on campus. As well as encouraging students to get involved and use their voice to bring about positive changes they would like to see. In the senate, I focus on reducing costs associated with education and campus living.

My passion project is ensuring students are receiving the benefits they are paying thousands of dollars for. Every student deserves proper living conditions, including the meal plans they pay for. UAF is a leader in research, and the students that live on campus deserve to treated as such.

Senator and the Rules Committee Chair, Major is history. I don’t really have a passion project of my own per say. I have helped other projects for other senators such as the springfest dance and the Mural Competition.

Sometimes attending a university can feel isolating. I want my fellow students to know they are not alone, and that many programs and opportunities exist to help them find and develop community. Belonging is not just a noun but also a verb. Welcome! We’re glad you’re here.

I joined ASUAF because I want to make a difference on campus. I want to promote school spirit, with new ideas that can really make students excited. I hope to make every student feel at home, and look forward to the future of their time at UAF.
