VOTE 2011-12

Announcing the Associated Students of UW Bothell for 2011-12... 

President:

Fredric Hensen

The UWB was founded with the vision of having a "distinctive reputation for sustainability, both regionally and nationally, based on a synergistic combination of a unique campus-wide culture of sustainability along with significant, distinctive, tangible accomplishments in environmental stewardship, research, curriculum, student life, and university-community partnerships." Student leadership is the most important tool the campus has to ensure adherence to this vision, and recent leadership has begun to lose sight of what the UWB really stands for. I have a strong history of community organizing and volunteerism as a member of Americorps and the Vice President of the UWB Sustainability Organization. My strong event planning and organizing skills helped make the Earth Day Celebration on campus this year a huge success. My passions are questioning established traditions and looking for growth, yoga, and environmentalism . As ASUWB President I will bring a highly enthusiastic and organized approach to building solidarity among the student body, faculty, and staff behind the sustainable principles that set this campus ahead as an example of progressive academic culture. I will be a president that strengthens the roots of the campus community without losing sight of the vision that makes us great. Thank you for your vote!

 

Vice President:

Eric Chan

My name is Eric and I would like to serve on ASUWB because I want to represent all students of the University of Washington Bothell. I wish to increase student input and continue to improve the student experience on campus. Through clubs and organizations, I have displayed the necessary leadership and organization skills that I believe are needed to help lead the students. My work on ASUWB, as the Director of Business and Government Relations has required me to have proficient communication and teamwork skills that are needed in fulfilling the needs of the students by working with faculty, administration, legislators and student governments from other universities. Networking skill is another skill of mine, which I believe is necessary to serving as the liaison between the students and the City of Bothell. I feel that these skills and experiences will help tremendously in advocating for the students and accomplishing the objectives I have laid out. I look forward to another year on this magnificent campus and hope to serve as your Vice President next year.  
 

Excecutive Representitive:

Ty Edwards

Hi my name is Tyrell Edwards. I am currently finishing up my undergraduate studies here at UWB and will be continuing into the Cultural Studies Graduate program in the fall. Since arriving on campus 3 years ago I have been heavily involved in public service. I had the privilege of being a part of the core team during the beginning stages when the Dream Project (helping first generation and low income students get into college) started on our campus. I myself am a low income, first generation student and I have had to overcome some hardships in order to get my education. While at UW Bothell I have dedicated my college career to helping those who are in need or who are in a similar situation.

This year I was able to take the experience that I gained from the Dream Project and host digital storytelling workshops through the International Rescue Committee (IRC). The workshops enable refugee youth to share their stories and get their voices heard throughout the state of Washington as well as help guide the students through the college application process.

My work with the Dream Project and the digital storytelling workshops have helped me become a strong advocate for students at UWB. While continuing my education at UWB, I hope to bring that experience and a graduate student’s perspective to ASUWB. As an Executive Representative I will work diligently in advocating for UWB students and providing opportunities for your voices to be heard. My goal is to help fulfill the needs of the students through hard work, passion, dedication and perseverance.

Mathew Lam

I want to serve as an Executive Representative on ASUWB because I understand many of the policies of UW Bothell, I have strong interests in bettering the UW Bothell community, and I strongly support our student government because they are the ones who correspond with administration on changes for the student population.
The qualities I bring to as an Executive Representative on ASUWB, more specifically as the Student Advocate Executive Representative, begin with my abilities to communicate effectively between students, as well as with administration. Through working with the Orientation Program and with Campus Events Board (CEB), I have built a strong and positive relationship among many departments that ASUWB has to work with. While working with these organizations, I have learned to work with and for the students to improve student interest on campus.

What I hope to accomplish as a member on the ASUWB Executive Council is to improve the UW Bothell community. To bring student interest into the surrounding city may include contracting discounts for students at local businesses, bringing to campus food vendors that years past have brought, and to bring UW Bothell to a full standing University with all the amenities that many universities have including a sports department and a full activities center for students.

Shahin Mortazavi

As an ASUWB executive-representative I will focus on three main goals. First, I will help expand the role of student participation in ASUWB. Second, I will help create a bridge between students and ASUWB as well as the greater Bothell community. Finally, I will focus on issues that are the most important to students. In expanding the role of students in their school government I will make it a priority to listen to the student body by engaging in discussions with anyone who wants their voice to be heard. Also, by promoting students to partake in ASUWB activities and discussions. As executive-representative I hope to expand our campus' role in both the Bothell community as well as the other University of Washington's campuses in order to create opportunities to diversify and build relationships among students. Lastly, I will focus on current issues that are most relevant to the student body such as greater food options on campus to the budget cuts facing our school. I have served on the Student Activities Fee Committee as well as various clubs throughout the school year and have seen the great potential of the student government.
