Why are you running for EVP?
| As a student that has been heavily involved in a variety of GWU activities, I have a perspective on what common GW students want. As someone that has been involved with the SA in the past as well as done a wide array of activity within the GW community I have the connections needed within the student body to seek out the issues we need changed, and the connections within the administration to implement those changes. |
What is the number one most pressing issue that the EVP should deal with?
| The most pressing advocacy issue that the EVP should deal with is revising the GW bookstore’s prices and policies. Every student in every year, undergraduate and graduate, needs to pay for books. The GW Bookstore is overpriced relative to online and third party vendors, and does not give good buyback rates. They also have limited stock of many graduate level books. By working with efollet and the faculty senate, I think that we as an SA can make the GW Bookstore an institution that actually helps students, as opposed to one that is just another excess expense. |
In the past year, who do you think has been the most effective member of the SA (besides yourself) Why?
| Erik Ashida. He has done a lot of work for the GW student community, particularly in academics, and I appreciate his efforts to revise the Gelman voluntarily gift policy. |
If you couldn’t vote for yourself who would you vote for?
| Josh Goldstein; he is very affable, easy to work with, and knows the issues well. He would be a great bridge between the Executive and the Senate. |
What will you be doing next year if you don’t win your election?
| I will be interning, either with the Department of Commerce, the Treasury, or State. I have also considered getting involved with student theater. |
Who will you be voting for SA President? Lifton or Sanchez?
| Undecided, though I think Lifton outdid Sanchez in the debate |
