Michael AlliAs a student I see that UMass Boston has so much potential. Due to its location, students, and student opportunities I believe this University is a breeding ground for student innovation and entrepreneurship. As a senator I’m looking to recognize and help bring forth this hidden greatness in UMass Boston.

Samantha GibsonCommunication is key to a functional, representative government. As Student Senator I will work to find new ways to inform the university community of Senate business and promote involvement of students in their government. I will also work toward opening better communication pathways within the Senate, promoting efficiency and cohesion.Moyosore Alade I have alot to share and more to gain, so being part of a group of students that represent the student body, their interest and concerns really means alot to me. Not only that I can listen to concerns or issues my fellow students might have but will also try to find a way to solve it.

Charles BovairdI would like the opportunity to represent the students of the University of Massachusetts Boston in the Student Senate during the Fall of 2009. I vow to display fiscal responsibility by making responsible allocations for the Student Activities Trust Fund.

Elizabeth M. HedrickAs an Undergraduate Student Senate member I would promote communication between the various parts of UMass Boston. I would also promote examples of inter-University success stories with our sister campuses. I have a long history of working with non-profits in Cincinnati, which would lend itself well to my efficiency as a Student Senate member.

If elected into senate I will put forth new ideas and initiatives that will improve the learning experience of student. Also, if elected I will bring any and all issues to the forefront of the senate floor. Thank You.

Milcah NakachwaFor the past few weeks I’ve been on the senate, I’ve had a chance to see what’s going on and to see senators implementing their roles. It’s an experience so far, and it would be unfair if I didn’t get to accomplish what I’ve started on. I still look forward to serving on the senate as the journey has just begun.
