We need strong leadership in student government in order to advocate for higher education support from the state, connect Student Senate to the actual students, and to bring innovation and creative ideas to campus problems. There needs to be real conversation on this campus collecting all ideas and choosing the course of action that is in the best interest of the students. If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail at sorellap@uwec.edu.

Vice-presidential candidate
Senior
Major: History Liberal Arts
Campus Involvement: 3rd Year RA, 3rd Year Momentum Monday, Blugold Mascot, New Davies Planning
I want to become Student Senate vice president because I want to help change the communication on campus. There are many well-intentioned people, but from my experience there is only a small group that understands how the big picture works. If we break things down and holistically educate ourselves to become politically savvy, we can make change in this state. As an executive in senate I would hope to reignite communication with the students and the state to develop accessibility to higher education for the betterment of all.
