How will you work to further encourage the administration to act on student concerns?
The administration is always willing to act on the part of students, as long as their concerns are reasonable and presented in the proper way. I believe as president, I will be able to focus groups of students on specific issues that, when brought to the administration, will be taken seriously.

What experience do you have that qualifies you for the office you are seeking?
I’ve been an Orientation Student Assistant for two summers, a mentor in the Chancellor’s Leadership Program, led a Wordwise Bible Study this semester, studied in London, written columns for the Skiff, served on the AddRan Student Advisory Council served for three semesters as a Clark Hall representative.

What is the number one issue you will work for if elected?
Food and parking are the first issues that need to be solved. After this, I hope students turn a more caring eye to the community. If we are to become a stronger, more recognized student body, we must help make TCU and the surrounding area places where all people and ideas are welcome.

What will you do to make SGA and its officers more visible to the student body?
If elected I hope the TCU Daily Skiff and KTCU/88.7 FM would allow the president and SGA representatives space for commentary. It takes a dialogue to garner support. I think if these kind of measures are in place, students would be more likely to communicate on issues

What are your specific goals if you are elected?
Solve food and parking problems. Continue to bring in a high caliber group of speakers, musicians and events. Help students realize the larger goal of a student body, which is to serve. Communicate weekly progress made in SGA. Have a specific legislative agenda before the first meeting of SGA.
