I want to be vice president to be a voice for students and to create positive change on our campus.
The most pressing issue on campus is making sure students are informed about everything our school has to offer.
I would like to use the online campus calendar that is currently being created to keep students up to date and informed about events on campus.
If elected, I would like to improve the shuttle service to the airport so students don’t have to pay outrageous taxi cab fares. I will continue research on a campuswide safe ride program. I would also continue working on the dining plan to make sure it is something all students are happy with. And last but not least, I would like to see our school continue to progress in a more eco-friendly direction.

If elected, I feel that I could make a positive impact on students’ lives and would be an effective and dedicated vice president.
The most pressing issue on campus is increasing student involvement in campus organizations and activities.
I plan to address this issue by making students more aware of events and by funding more first-year programs and increasing funding if the event is successful.
Campus safety could be addressed by extending Froggie-Five-O hours and installing more lights. The creation of a “High Pass” option when taking a class Pass/No Credit would allow students who make an A to have it noted on their transcripts for graduate schools and future employers to see. Finally, the installation of a campuswide recycling program would be easy, affordable and would make TCU “greener.
