If elected, I will:
-Serve as your "go-to" person when it comes to the most important issues. Since you've elected me as YOUR representative, I will always be available or make time to listen to your comments or concerns.
-Make sure that your utilities are always working. When you're paying for college, you deserve hot water, working elevators, enough parking spaces, lights, and basic services. I will constantly be in communication with our class
to make sure that everything is in good condition, and if not, oversee that it is taken care of quickly.
-Work closely with the other branches of OSA, like Programming Board, and upperclassmen Presidents. I'll organize, sponsor, and get permission for events that benefit the Class of 2012, like:

1.) A possible Freshman & Upperclassman athlete recognition picnic for helping with Move-In Day:
*Move-In Day is one of the roughest, hottest, most intense days of heavy-lifting. Because Freshman/Upperclassmen athletes gave up their time and helped their peers with
moving EVERYTHING into our dorms, we should recognize them for this! As your Class President, I would listen to what the athletes want, and work hard to provide them with it.
We could have local restaurants donate to us in return for an ad in the Carillon or Stormy Petrel, and have a few volunteers from our class that would help with setup. The picnic
could be held on the quad, with student musicians for entertainment, etc.
The Freshman class thanks you!
2.) An all-night dance party that would raise money for a specific, Atlanta-based, community cause:
*Who doesn't love 24 hour dance-offs? The Freshman Class is made up of some of the most talented and energized students that are focused on giving back. A dance-off would
allow us to take a break from hitting the books AND have fun while raising money for a great cause. I'll listen to what kind of music students want and what charity we could donate to.
As a group effort, we could have our own in-house, student DJ's who might be interested in playing music, performing live, people to bring food and refreshments, etc. I would work with Campus Safety
to make sure the student center is safe and on "lockdown" all night. Also, we could have people make art/decorations, do something with lighting, etc.
3.) A "Spring Cleaning" type yard sale held out on the quad:
*Always wanted your roommate's Pink Floyd poster? Want to get rid of that bulky container? Everyone has junk that they accumulate at the end of the year. Why not get rid of it?
We could have a massive yard sale where everyone does spring cleaning, brings their unwanted stuff to the quad, and sells it. Everyone gets to keep the money that they designate to their junk. We could have lemonade stands, cotton candy sales, and "fair"-type activities. By holding an event like this, you could sell stuff that you no longer use or buy things to decorate your dorm for next year!
