While running for SA President and EVP, Vishal Aswani and Kyle Boyer established themselves as reformers able to work across the aisle with the goal of improving the quality of life for GW students. This year, many eagerly wait for their first move as leaders for the most powerful student organization on campus.
On August 28th, Aswani and Boyer released their shared vision for the 2008-2009 academic year. This comprehensive agenda addressed everything from academics to the environment. They plan to improve student advising as well as the application process for the study abroad program that many students participate in year after year. In addition, they also hope to improve GW’s sustainability ratings by adding more recycling bins and decreasing paper use in libraries and computer labs.
Parts of the vision came from each candidate’s platform during last year’s election as well as projects they have worked on in the past. Pieces of Boyer’s campaign to reduce metro fares for college students linger in the vision as well as Aswani’s plan to get federal aid for student orgs.
They hope to start working on all these issues immediately and stressed the need for cooperation from all people in the Student Association. Check back soon for SA updates!
