Meet your Student Senator with Janiece Richard, Student Athletic Advisory
BY JASON BAKER

Janiece Richard is new to Student Senate this school year but is already active as the Student Athletic Advisory Committee senator. Richard is a graduate student from Grandview, Mo., majoring in sports studies.
The Student Athletic Advisory Committee includes student athlete representatives from all 16 University of Kansas sports teams.
"The purpose of the SAAC is to provide student athletes the opportunity to communicate more effectively with University of Kansas athletic administration, coaches and staff." Richard said.
"It enables student athletes to provide recommendations for the improvement of academic, athletic and social experiences," she said. "The committee encourages unity, common purpose and camaraderie between teams and among all student athletes."
Richard has been involved with the group for two years and said that they also encouraged community involvement through service projects and fundraisers.
"I would challenge Senate to be more inclusive. I'd challenge those involved with recruitment to help create a more diverse campus, and I'd challenge students to be more involved." Richard said. She is interested in diversity among students as much as with her favorite music artists: Ginuwine, J. Holiday, John Mayer and Justin Timberlake.
Richard said that when she graduated, she would like to work in sports, whether it was on a track and field team or in an athletics department. Richard was a member of the track and field team at the University. She ran in the 600-yard dash and the 400-meter hurdles.
"I have run track since I was in middle school, and because of this, I have traveled across the nation to compete at meets, everywhere from Virginia to Ohio to Florida," she said.
Richard said that her most memorable moment was qualifying for the Outdoor NCAA Track and Field Championships her senior year for the 400-meter hurdles. After she completed her undergraduate studies in December 2006, she became
a volunteer assistant coach for the University track and field team.
Richard said that her favorite place to visit was anywhere in Florida near the beach.
"It's just so relaxing and serene, and when you're on the beach reading a good book, it's like nothing else matters but the here and now," she said. Richard also would like to travel to Canada, just to say she's been out of the country.
She said some of her favorite movies were "Love and Basketball," "Jason's Lyric," "The Notebook" and "Something New"
Richard said she tried to fulfill a quote by the late Leo Buscaglia, a professor at the University of Southern California, every day:
Some of Richard's favorite TV shows are "Pardon the Interruption," "Around The Horn," "The Office," "The Bad Girls Club" and "Lost."
"The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what others want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position."
