I am currently a senior duel enrolled in both Political Science and Mechanical
Engineering iMing in St. Louis Missouri. Although next year will be my final year in school this is my first year running with KUited. During my orientation way back in 2009 I was given a chal
lenge; it was to leave this campus a better place than I found it, which is why I decided to run with KUnited, because they have been doing exactly that for 19 years now. Moving forward, the initiatives we are running on that I really feel will leave a true lasting impact on our campus are: building a pool for the rec center, renewing the water fountains on campus with water bottle filling stations, and creating a smoke free campus. These improvements would better our campus both now and for years to come. And continue to make our campus one that I will be proud to show off to my children... a good forty years on down the road.

student to vote—regardless of the coalition. I believe in KUnited because the coalition has a proven track record of results. I look forward to continuing KUnited's tradition of improving our university. I am very excited for KUnited's Hawks Helping Hawks initiative, because no student should have to leave school for financial issues. I am also excited for KUnited's new aquatic center initiative.

In too many instances, lack of student access or education about various policies has led Senate to hinder, rather than help, students. She hopes to be a part of a new Senate that aims to educate, encourage, and inspire students to use resources for their and their organization's goals.
